Page 3 <br />1992 FIRE MA> ' T,S RKPORT - MIKE PALM <br />It was another busy year and again not enough time to go through <br />all the buildings we have in our fire area. I spent more time on <br />complaints and meetings with the building inspectors, on the new <br />businesses and problems that they came across. We have a lot of <br />old buildings in our area that are not safe! A lot of code <br />violations and without the time to properly inspect these <br />buildings, we are facing a great danger to our Fire fighters and <br />the people that enter these buildings. <br />We have a lot apartment type housing in our area that needs to be <br />brought up to code, and also we may lose some citizens if this is <br />not looked at more carefully. With Jerry Dabb and myself both <br />working 40 hours a week, we can't do the inspections we use to do. <br />This year we couldn't even do all of the schools for "Fire <br />Prevention Week" and this is the first place to start teaching <br />young kids about fire safety. I was called to Grandview Middle <br />School four times this year, to talk to kids that were <br />experimenting with fire and that is scary. <br />FIRE PREVEN'*’ION FIAS TO DE TAUGHT TO THE YOUNG AND OLD, HOPEFULLY <br />THEY CAN LEARN AND LIVE DY IT I <br />I
