Paducah, KY – Paducah Fire Chief Steve Kyle is proposing a measure that would recover some of the department's costs when it responds to incidents involving non-city residents. Kyle presented the idea to city commissioners last night, estimating the cost recovery could return $30 to $100,000 a year back into their budget. It would charge insurance companies of non-residents after responding to motor vehicle accidents. Kyle says increased costs for fuel, specialized training and equipment warrants the measure. City Commissioners asked Kyle to return with additional information.
