Fireha/l cuts worry chief Richmond Hill Fire Chief Robert Kennedy is concerned that council‘s continued attempts to fritter away the much- needed firehall proposed for Arnold Avenue will leave the town with inadequate fire protec- tion. The present firehall on Wright Street used to house the town's works and hydro departments, and has been there longer than anyone on the fire brigade can remember. It‘s badly heated and much too small for either staff or eduipment, Kennedy told The Liberal last week. There are no storage facilities, and the space is so limited it is impossible to employ female staff, he said. The Spruce Street station, though it houses a $105,000 vehicle, is un- manned. with staff (mostly volunteer) arriving only when an alarm is sounded. NEWMARKET â€" If there‘s a speed limit posted. motorists shouldn‘t have to be told it is being enforced. This was the consensus of opinion at th'e regional council meeting last week. Council turned down a request from the York Regional Board of Commissioners of Police. 'l‘he commissioners asked signs be posted notifying the public “speed limits within the Regional Municipality of York are strictly enforced by mechanical devices.” Councillor George 'l‘impson of Aurora seemed to speak for the majority when he said, “It seems a little ridiculous to put up signs warning people that if they break the law they’re going to be prosecuted.” “This system does not belong in today‘s fire fighting methods when this type of equipment is involved. Speed limit enforcers not needed “It is risky to assume a sufficient number of people will answer an alarm,“ Kennedy wrote in a report submitted to A-6 â€" THE LIBERAL, Wednesday.

He says councillors originally agreed to a $625,000 debenture for a new hall. yet are insisting on further cuts in spite of the fact the proposed structure is only expected to cost $620,000. Kennedy says a hose drying tower capable of handling up to 50 lengths of hose is much preferable to either the oven or wall-rack systems employed by the metropolitan halls. council GRAYDON E.

A Kennedy stresses the tower will also be used as a training facility â€" where the men can practice and still be close to their trucks. “All I want," said Kennedy, “is to provide the municipality with :1 well-trained staff, able to handle most emergencies in a well-trained manâ€" ner.“ He told The Liberal a darkroom would be used especially in case of inquest. and be available for other community groups as well. “They‘re grasping at straws,“ he said. “They don‘t like the fire department and think all firefighters are over- Major Mackenzie Drive.
