Fire department reorganization proposal outlined
A plan favors centralizing at Center street engine house with one steamer in service and one in reserve, selling the chemical engine and City of Bath, and placing a ten-man company at the north end. An auxiliary electric fire alarm system is urged with boxes above the city and City Trail bell alerts. The Board supports hydrant district alerts, and no reorganization plan will be set at the next committee meeting.
