Re: Fire Chief's Monthly Report for March 1984
The Fire Department had a very slow month. There were 3 calls for the
Rescue Squad, 2 calls for incidents, and 3 fire calls.
The Rescue Squad checked out 3 persons from a motor vehicle accident,
helped 1 person who fell from a wheelchair, and responded to one call
which found the person dead.
Our officers checked out a power failure alarm from a house in the
Village and found that guests at a party had piled coats on the box
which holds the circuit breakers and shut off some of the power in the
house. We also helped the Police Department transport some stop signs
around the Village.
The Fire Department responded to an automatic alarm at a house where
we found the occupants burning incense with smoke detectors all over
the house. We responded to a malfunction in an automatic alarm system.
We were called to•investigate a strange odor in a house which turned
out to be a burned out motor in a furnace.
The snow storm we had last month caused the Police Department•to use
our ol¢ rescue vehicle as a patrol car. The 4 -wheel drive made it
much easier to get around with. We were very happy to be able'to help
by loaning the vehicle after we used it to pick up some of our men to
standby in the fire house in case of fire.
