Farmers propose LGD fire protection plan with extinguishers
The Herald reports Harry Vandenbogerd proposing a farmer run scheme for fire protection in the LGD. About 133,000 acres and 100 farmers would place six to twelve large extinguishers at farms with a rapid phone response, aiming to beat town fire crews to a blaze. Former fire chief Tom Earley backs feasibility, noting extinguishers can halt sizable fires if used correctly.

Farmers propose extinguisher fire protection plan
Mr Vandenbogerd outlines a plan using chemical extinguishers to limit fire damage and avoid water issues. He estimates 75 per unit, proposes farmer funded through dances or rodeo profits, and criticizes town control. He opposes the current petition as financing ideas are missing. He plans to present to the Farmers Association president.
