There had been 22 structure fires in the city over the last year. Kelsey’s report estimated the cost of structures and contents at $1.146 million. He attributed most of this cost to the Good Friday fire on Beaver Drive.
“Overall an average year as far as calls go, we did have something significant. It was a very safe year. We went through the entire year without a single injury reported to compensation,” said Kelsey.
Kelsey unveiled to city council the latest fleet photo. This was the first fleet photo taken since 1996.
