The MATTER of permitting city fire.
men and fire fighting equipment TO go
outside the city limits was brought be
fore the Barre city council last night
and after some consideration, was re-
7 ferred TO the fire committee to report
on. In bringing the matter up, Alder
man Keast said it was not fair to the
property owners of the city to lay them
liable to damage, which might be
averted by the retention of the iremen
and equipment at home. He also said
that if city equipment was not avail
able for outside towns there would be
more disposition in those towns to fur
nish their own equipment.
1t was stated further that not many
years ago Barre fireman was injured
during one of those out of town trips
and he was not compensated by the
town in which the fire occurred; nor
did the city pay him because the city
attorney had ruled that the injury was
not sustained while the fireman was in
the performance of his duty to the city
Response to calls for assistance in
Barre Town came under special discus
sion when the statement was made that
Barre Town had for three years refused
to pay the city the latter's share of the
church money division, the towns off
cials ending the negotiation by declar
ing that if the city wishes its money il
will have TO collect. The city council
did not consider it reasonable exchange
of good offices for the town to refuse
to pay this church money share and
for the city to send its fire fighters and
equipment out to assist the town with
out any compensation, laying the city
property open 10 destruction, the equip
ment TO damage and the firemen to in
jury
Moreover, it was argued that the
fires in adjoining towns have generally
reached such stage when the call has
been put in to the Barre fremeD that
no considerable amount of assistance
could be rendered by chemical appa-
ratus and also there are no hvdrants
in the towns for the use of hose on
gravity system.
II seemed to be the general opinion
among the city council members that
the employment of city fremen and
equipment should be prohibited outside
Of the city, although the fire committee
may bring in modified report when it
its recommendation.
