Fire Protection Services Debated

A lengthy debate for International Falls council last night over a proposed fire protection service agreement for residents in nearby rural areas.

Council eventually agreed to offering a 5-year deal with Koochiching County costing equal to what is now collected by the Rural Fire Protection Association Board from residents for fire protection services.

It would also allow the Association to keep its equipment

A current agreement expires at the end of this year, but the city wants the county to finalize a deal by November 3rd.
