(La Porte County, IN) - A date, time, and place has been set for the next meeting regarding fire protection coverage for Wills Township:

Monday, November 6th at 5:30 p.m. Central at the Wills Township Community Center.

Wills Township covers an area from the east side of Rolling Prairie to the St. Joseph County line. Township leaders are considering options for fire protection, which include renewing their contract with the Kankakee Township Volunteer Fire Department or joining the New Carlisle Fire Territory.

Last month about 60 people attended a hearing and voiced seemingly unanimous support for maintaining ties to the fire department in Rolling Prairie.

Township leaders have been waiting on a report from financial consultants Baker Tilly before making a decision.
