Hubert Crawley, Fire Chief, presented statistics on the
operation of the Fire Department inspections, fire calls,
aid calls, fire prevention. In 1974 they were able to complete
inspections of all buildings in the City every 14 months.
Businesses have increased to the point it now takes 2 years
and 4 months. Their goal is one inspection per year. Man
hours spent on emergencies have more than doubled in the last
five years. Sixty percent of the fire calls are actually fires.
Fire calls are up 57% and aid calls up 22 Councilman Hill
said the City plans for the "50 year storm," we have mutual
aid for the "100 year storm." Chief Crawley explained that
the department is authorized 8 men per shift, but with vacations
and sick leave, they rarely have 8. He said he is asking for
three more men. Manning level was discussed.
