Counties often use tax breaks to attract businesses.
West Roane County Volunteer Fire Department Chief Charlie Redwine said he sees another use for tax breaks.
“If we can do it for businesses, I don’t see why we can’t do it for volunteer firefighters,” he said.
Roane County has five volunteer fire departments.
Redwine said he believes offering property tax breaks would help with recruitment and retention of volunteer firefighters.
