The Mullins Cove Volunteer Fire Department will be having a Volunteer Sign-Up day this Saturday from 10 a.m.-3 p.m. at Kelly's Ferry Community Church, 11612 Mullins Cove Road in Whitwell.
"We are looking for new volunteer firemen and board members to join our department. Come by and see what the Fire Department is about, discuss opportunities and look over our equipment. Lunch will be provided from 11:15 a.m.-1:30 p.m. Training and Turnout gear are issued at no cost to qualified applicants. Your help is needed in helping us protect the beautiful treasured landmark of the Tennessee River Gorge, along with property and possibly saving lives.
