Fires Test Capital City Fire Department During West Riccarty and Jefferson Theater Blazes
Residents voiced mild discontent over the department’s handling of two simultaneous blazes, noting better timing would have been possible if the Jefferson Theater fire and nearby McCarty Street fires occurred together. The crew’s response, though, helped prevent major citywide damage by reallocating forces. The outages from the fires disrupted police radio and a 2600-line telephone system, indicating equipment limits rather than mismanagement. Voters face a bond issue for new gear at the upcoming city council meeting.
