Civil Defense Center Plan Seeks Underground HQ
The county board heard a proposal from Civil Defense Director George J. Stup for a complete underground CD control center with a central alarm system for county fire companies. He sought a $13,250 budget for the coming year and noted half of costs could be covered by the federal government if operated under Civil Defense. The plan includes two fire alarm systems at $2,100 each to extend coverage around Frederck City suburbs where the existing alarm can’t be heard. The federal share would also apply to these items. The commission discussed forming a Disaster Committee to oversee Civil Defense and Central Alarm facilities in emergencies.
