PIERCETON — Pierceton will host a special meeting that will look into establishing a fire territory for the area.

At the Pierceton Town Council meeting, on Monday, Dec. 13, Council President Tom Barker detailed what the upcoming meeting would entail.

Area residents are seeking to create a territory that would encompass the town and Washington and Monroe townships. Baker Tilly will present a rate study the town agreed to regarding paying for a possible territory.

Barker emphasized that the meeting will be informational only with no public hearing or vote on it to occur yet.

“It is open to the public, but it is not open for public comment,” he said.

The meeting is set for 6:30 p.m. Wednesday, Dec. 15, at the Pierceton Community Building.
