Billings Fire Campaign Boosts City Fire Rating
Stevens praised Billings for lifting the city from class 7 toward class 4 on the fire rating scale through a recovery campaign begun in 1943. He credited Mayor Biddinger, Mayor Rowe, the Commercial Club, and citizens for reduced fire hazards, noting federal funds aided Bremerton’s rise and plan for a national booklet on Billings’ system. He urged continued effort to strengthen protections and urged support from government and civic groups.
