Fire Chief urges new Elyria headquarters station
Fire Chief W. N. Bates told Elyria City Council last night that the department needs a proper headquarters station to address manpower shortages and training space. He proposed constructing a separate building not in the city center or on a one way street, to free space at No. 1 fire station for other city departments. Bates cited lack of dormitory and office space and noted 1953 fire losses of $64,817.17, up from 1952. Council referred the proposal to finance and building committees for study.
