Crockett County 911

09/01/2026

These guys need our prayers.

1 SEP 2026 update: We are relieved to hear that both firefighters suffered non life-threatening injuries and have been released from the hospital.

Yesterday the Samburg-Reelfoot Volunteer Fire Department's tanker crashed while responding to a fire in Union City's rural fire protection district. We don't have updates on injuries to the two responding firefighters, which is our highest concern. We can only hope for a speedy recovery for both. We hope that you all will keep these firefighters and the other members of their department in your prayers. Firefighting has always been a dangerous business and Obion County is blessed to have men and women like them who are willing to step up and respond in service to their community.

Governor Vetoes Increase in 911 Surcharge

For only the second time since he took office, Governor Bill Lee today used his veto power to veto Senate Joint Resolution 48 which would have increased the 911 surcharge on phone bills from $1.50 to $1.86. The joint resolution had passed the house by a vote of 75 ayes, 15 noes, 5 not voting and had passed the senate by a vote of 27 ayes and 6 noes.

Had the Governor signed the bill, it would have brought in an additional $274,000 a year to Bedford County E911.

The 911 surcharge funds emergency communications districts, operational expenses of the State Emergency Communications Board, and the Tennessee Relay Services/Telecommunications Devices Access Program (TRS/TDAP). The current $1.50 surcharge has been in effect since January 1, 2021. In his response to lawmakers, Governor Lee referred to the surcharge increase as a "tax increase on nearly all Tennesseans."
