Fire Underwriters Call for More City Firemen and Upgrades
The National Board of Fire Underwriters urged Cedar Rapids to add manpower and an aerial ladder truck, plus water main improvements, as part of a broader fire protection upgrade. The report, received by Safety Commissioner Dan Kruidenier, notes the city is in the fourth insurance class and could rise to the third with action, potentially saving up to 100000 in premiums. The plan includes two new firefighters per shift for engines 1 2 and 4 and four for ladder company 2, plus equipping ladder company 1 with a quick raising aerial ladder truck and operating it as a combined unit.
