The minutes of last months meeting were` with no corrections or changes. N r. Don J ilbert, Chief of Dryden Fire Company, and Bob Arnold, Ast. Chief attended Planning Board, concerning a letter we had sent stating our concerns with wood burning stoves, installation and maintgnance. The Dryden Fire Company does not clean chimneys because a few fire companies have gotten sued because of damaged chimneys. They have the equipment that people can borrow to clean their own chimneys. Also have pamphlets at fire hall on installing wood burn- ing stoves. On October 12, 1980, they will have an open house and someone will be there to talk on wood burning stoves. The two main causes for fires are mainteraxice of chimneys and installation. `4r..Lavine asked what can be done from town level. Mr. J ilbert stated people should have someone to install the stove that knows what they are doing The fire company visits schools and passes out leaflets on fire safety, smoke detectors etc. They can inspect installations if asked but don't like to because possibility of being sued. Mr. Bonn suggested in fall, one of the companies like Agway or Briggs Lumber, have a type of program on installation of wood stoves. Mr. Dann stated same people show up at these meetings but they are not the ones who need the information. Feels that the insurance companies should do something because they have to pay out if a fire. Mr. Lavine will call a few insurance companies and ask a few questions concerning the wood burning stoves. Mr. Bonn wanted to know if any underwriters on stoves and if insurance companies are in contact with companies that sell the wood burning stoves. Hopefully some information for the next meeting.
