Northside Fire Chief Rebutts Water Outage Charge
Northside Fire Chief Robert Lyons rebutted claims by county agent Joe Swendig that the Northside department could not drown a small bonfire. Lyons cited a Surveying and Rating Bureau letter denying substandard status and highlighted enhanced water capacity at the Bonners Ferry district fairgrounds, including tanks and pumps totaling several thousand gallons per minute. He argued Northside’s equipment, including a 1000 gpm truck and a 750 gpm unit, outperforms Sandpoint city capacity and referenced a prior 1.5 million dollar fire at the Pacific Gas and Electric Building fought with 750 gpm.
