Mills Fire Department

The call came in at 12:20 p.m. Thursday.

North said the only major change he's looked at is bringing on volunteer firefighters to supplement the salaried staff.

Prior to the announcement, Mills officials apparently didn't hold public meetings regarding funding the fire department.

The fire district has until May 28 to accept or decline Mills' request, which Natrona County Fire District Interim Chief Brian Oliver said was only received Wednesday.

Since July of last year, Mills firefighters have responded to 912 calls for service, union representatives said in the Wednesday release.
