Outside Fire Protection Studied
A contract which would guarantee Springfield, Ohio, Fire Department service to the aged, to the ill and to children in public institutions beyond the city limits was under study of the Clark County Commission.
As arrangements now stand, the Springfield Fire Department is under no obligation to respond to alarms at any of the three institutions. The department, in fact, has a policy against rural runs on the ground that members of the department forfeit their liability protection in the event of an injury when they are beyond the city limits.
