Fans to Help Beat the Heat
The Hurst Fire Department and Police Community Services are working together to provide a better quality of life to Hurst residents who have a special need. Several fans have been generously donated to the fire department to be delivered to residents that do not have air conditioning.
If you know of someone that lives in Hurst and needs special assistance due to the heat (especially seniors or small children), contact Patty Gurley at 817.788.7238 or Evelyn McAmis at 817.788.7342.
We can deliver a fan and have members of the COPS program check on their welfare.

City Implements Ambulance Subscription Service
The City of Hurst is offering citizens an ambulance subscription
service to help offset the high costs of emergency ambulance transportation.
Insurance companies routinely do not pay the entire amount of ambulance
transportation, leaving the patient with the responsibility of paying
the balance of the bill. The purpose of the subscription service
is to cover the amount not covered by your insurance provider or
Medicare. For $60 per year per family, you will never have to worry
about paying an ambulance bill. Read more about the service here.
Enrollment
for 2011 begins October 1, ends December 31st. Click
here for application form. For more information call 817-788-7238.
