Insurance Rates May Rise After City Fire Center Firings
Eight Anderson control center operators with 44 years of service were dismissed Sept 29 1972 as part of a wholesale firing in the modernized emergency communications system. The action may trigger a National Fire Underwriters Association review and potential fire insurance rate increases of four to ten percent if ratings fall from Class 4. Most affected workers had under 10 months of experience and the city’s ability to coordinate firefighting and ambulance runs was shaken. Authorities could not be reached for comment.
