with less property lost than ever
Deiore. 'I lie department answered
18 alarms for the year, with the
total property at risk amounting
10 aw.wu ana a total loss of
$13,145. Only one fire for the
year was reported as a total loss
which was a prune dryer which

several years.
The department meets everv
