Gaiennie announced that they were here for the purpose of dis-
cussing the water situation as it related to the fire fighting
purpose. He stated that at the last two fires they had exper-
ienced difficulty with the eater. It was brought out by president
Smith and Manager Edmunds of the District that there was plenty of
water in reserve on both occasions and that at the Cottage Motel
fire the difficulty seemed to be due to too much of a draw down on
the main by having two hydrants in operation at the one time.
In the case of the fire which destroyed the 1�.irchner houses the
.�... lack of water in the early part of the Fire was due to a valve -drain
on the main being open at the east end of the bridge. Fire Chief
Dolley stated that the Department had no knowledge of this valve.
After some further discussion relative to the obligation of the
Fire Commission and the District with respect to hydrants,and
valves. It was suggested by president Smith that Fire C ormissioner
Gaiennie and Manager Edmunds draw up an agreement outlining the ob-
ligations of each party and submit it to the Board.
No further business appearing, Board adjourned.
