National Fire Prevention Week Highlights Myrtle Point Volunteer Department
National Fire Prevention Week notes the United States loses 560 million dollars to fires yearly. In Myrtle Point the volunteer department led by Marlin Evans has answered 23 calls since January with five losses totaling about 2,000 dollars. The city incurs roughly 10 dollars per month per man, and a rapid three minute response on a recent early morning fire shows the department’s efficiency and lower per capita fire costs.
