Fire department warns about money-raising scam

Deputy Chief Mark Whiteside said the New Albany Fire Department has just been notified it is being used in a scam to solicit money.

“We do not, nor will we solicit money over the phone, through social media or door to door,” he said.

“Thankfully, our city leaders see to it that we have sufficient funding to supply our community with excellent services and equipment,” he continued.

“Never give money to anyone asking for it for the New Albany Fire Department,” he said.
