McArthur Fire Department Finishes Cost Saving Safety Upgrades
McArthur Volunteer Fire Department completed two improvements. A suspended ceiling lowers heat costs by about 300 dollars annually and reduces fireman risk. Volunteers installed about 1200 dollars of ceiling materials with village funds covering 600 dollars for lighting. An air compressor now fills air tanks for masks, replacing oxygen to prevent unintended combustion, improving safety during smoky or gas filled operations.
