The Westside Fire Rescue Volunteer Fire Department will hold a Nugget Bowls Fundraiser to support equipment, training, and operating needs. The event will begin at 10:30 a.m. at the Old Pawn Shop, located adjacent to Blountstown Drugs. Officials stated that community support is critical for volunteer departments, as it ensures that firemen have the equipment and training they need to respond efficiently. Fundraisers like this one help to keep departments ready while also establishing relationships with the residents they serve. Organizers ask residents to come out and support local volunteers who safeguard their neighbors and towns.
