(MURFREESBORO) This was the third Saturday of the month and more than 200 supporters showed-up at the Kittrell Volunteer Fire Department for their legendary country ham breakfast.

The Country Ham Breakfast helps support a remarkable group of dedicated volunteers who work to make safety their top priority. The Country Ham Breakfast also preserves a 'sense of community' so many communities lack in today's fast-paced life.

The Kittrell Volunteer Fire Department (District 17) was founded by charter in 1990 by members of the Kittrell and Readyville communities. Fire service at that time was provided by the Rutherford Volunteer Fire Department. While being an outstanding fire department in itself, the RVFD was simply too far away from the Kittrell area to provide adequate fire protection to the community.

The Kittrell Volunteer Fire Department went into operation based out of the old Kittrell School shop building (Station 1).
