Fire Survey to Gauge Chanute Fire Protection Rating
Kansas Investigation Bureau engineers will survey Chanute fire protection facilities next week. City Manager R J Hayes says a written report will guide the fire rating used by insurance bureaus nationwide. Chanute currently holds grade 6 of 10, with higher numbers yielding higher rates. The survey will assess water supply, fire department strength, alarm handling, codes enforcement, and building congestion. A new fire truck was bought and volunteers organized after the last inspection to maintain the 6 rating.
