Virginian reports plan to move fire truck and chains of command
A Virginian representative cited a Finance Committee discussion forecasting a council report favoring purchasing a book and ladder. The plan would place the truck in Grimes Battery’s room under Chambers Fire Company, with Independent Fire Company answering claims and Chambers driving the truck to fires. If multiple engines were needed, the driver would return for the Palmer steamer. The committee believes the plan works until finances improve by the new fiscal year. Some Chambers members reportedly dislike the proposal, but officials say it could work or be changed. The city’s fire department is regarded as strong, and officials warn against crippling it by any such resolution.
