City to Buy Fog Fire Fighter for Morris Fire Dept
The Mor ris City Council building and maintenance committee approved by unanimous vote the purchase of a high pressure fog fire fighting unit at an estimated 12 500. Fire Chief Earl Johnson explained the need for the 750 gallon water tank truck while bids are sought for a truck chassis. The last such unit was added in 1943. Johnson noted the vehicle cannot operate as both a fog machine and a pumper simultaneously. The department would rely on 10 nearby departments within 15 to 30 minutes in a large fire. Also approved was a new Viland McElvain subdivision of 21 lots and part time clerical help for the city clerk. Parking meter penalties and fines were reported, with no further action taken.
