Dolly is helping out her hometown fire departments.

(Sevier Co., TN) -- Dolly Parton is giving $200,000 to rural fire departments in Sevier County where she's from.

The money comes from the Dolly's "My People Fund," which was set up in response to the devastating wildfires in 2016.

Dolly said this week, quote, "It is only fitting that the last of the My People Fund will go to those who were the first to respond to the fires."

It's a blessing to be able to donate the last of the My People Fund to the first responders! https://t.co/luu3dADRUc
