FIRE PROTECTION IN RANGIORA COUNTY
CONTRIBUTION TO RURAL AUTHORITY
Under the Fire Services Co-ordina-tion Scheme, 1954, which makes it obligatory for every urban fire authority to give protection to all property within a radius of five road miles of a fire station and in certain cases, of 10 road miles, the Rangiora County Council agreed at its monthly meeting to agree with the terms for protection set out in a letter received from the Rangiora Borough Council. As part of the county was within a five-mile radius, the letter said, the Rangiora Urban Fire Authority must provide the necessary protection. The amount required for the year ending March 31, 1956, from the Rangiora County Council was £3OO. It was intended, the letter said, to build a new fire station and to purchase a fire engine adaptable to work in rural areas. The annual charges for these items would replace the present capital charges. The council decided to make an inspection to ascertain where water for fire-fighting purposes was available in the county.
