VIDEO: Two men showed up to a meeting on Thursday where the City of Auxvasse attempted to recruit new volunteer firefighters.
At 6:30 p.m., the garage doors of the Auxvasse Fire Department opened to the public for an informational session about how to become a volunteer firefighter. Despite the critical need, only two individuals attended to learn more about the positions.
"I wish more people had attended, but we’ll take what we have and move forward from here," Auxvasse Mayor Clifford Wenneker said.
Currently, the Auxvasse Fire Department has no active members. The city has been relying on mutual aid from the North Callaway Fire Protection District.
