Elyria Fire Insurance Rates Need More Stations and Men
Elyria faces no major drops in fire insurance rates until a new Abbe Rd area fire station is built and at least 15 more firefighters are added. Joseph Rutter of the Ohio Inspection Bureau told the safety committee last night that improvements since the 1960 OIB inspection are not enough to lower rates, though progress is acknowledged. The report highlights the water system and training needs as ongoing concerns, with emphasis on expanding facilities for training. The meeting followed the 1960 recommendations and sought further actions for rate relief.
