Pendleton Fire Chief Urges Upgraded Equipment After Loss
Fire Chief John Vaughan argues that about ten thousand dollars of new apparatus would have cut losses by half and dropped insurance rates by 14 percent. He cites August fires totaling around eighty five thousand dollars in property loss, with city payouts to firefighters since August at sixteen hundred dollars. He notes delays from manual hose handling and calls for an auto engine and electric alarm system to speed response and reduce costs.
