Fire department reports nine calls in October; requests hydrant maintenance
Summary
A fire department representative told the council the department responded to nine calls in October, described upcoming training enrollments and new radio purchases, and urged residents to keep hydrants clear of snow.
A fire department representative reported the department handled nine calls in October, including two medical calls, three grass fires, one listed as "fire unknown," two seal alarms, one vehicle accident and one utility problem.
The representative said seven of the calls were inside the city limits and two were outside. The department has two people enrolled in a hazmat technician class and three people in a fire apparatus class; the department also purchased two 20 handheld radios to meet mobile-radio requirements starting in 2025.
"Please keep your hydrants clear of snow," the representative said, urging residents to plan for winter conditions to ensure hydrant access.
The representative said she will follow up next meeting to clarify what was labeled in the report as a "fire unknown." The report closed with a brief question-and-answer exchange about unclear call classifications and training updates.
