REPORT FOR JANUARY 1972
• There were two alarms of fire and one assist responded to by the department
during the month. Fire losses were less than $100.
Inspections made in January were:
1/3 Cayuga Heights School reinspection
1/8 Acacia Fraternity advisory
126 BOCES advisory
129 Acacia Fraternity advisory
At its two January meetings the fire council spent considerable time discussing
the water system in the Village as it pertains to fire protection. The
council wishes to remiud the Board of its 1969 recommendations that:
1. Steps be initiated to improve fire flows in the areas found deficient
by the NYFPRO during the 1969 survey by that organization.
2. Servicing of hydrants be improved.
The council also wishes to inform the Board that it makes the budget request
for $6,000 for contracted service (mainly hydrant charges at $75 per hydrant)
under protest. The feeling of the council being that service received is
insufficient to meet fire department and NYFPRO standards.
The council appointed a committee of E. Dymek, G. Moravec and the chief to
survey the hydrants in the Village and recommend to the Board needed additions
• to the hydrant system. This committee recommends that the following hydrants
be added to the existing system.
XX * Rear Cayuga Heights School
400 block of Hanshaw Road (near new school drive)
XX * On Corners Community Center and Carriage Hotise joint driveway)
100 block of Cayuga Heights Road
400 block of Klinewoods Road
600 block of Triphammer Road

500 block of Highland Road
XX 100 block of Iroquois Road
200 block of Comstock Road
Intersection of The Parkway, Oakhill and Highland
(XX indicates no existing mains, * indicates private property)
The council is aware that the costs prohibit accomplishment of this in one
or two years but suggests that plans be made to install all hydrants on a
regular schedule to be completed as soon as financially possible.
