ADMINISTRATIVE ACTIONS
Keystone Fire Protection Company
Keystone Fire Protection Company representatives Fred Warder and Fran McKay spoke about the plans to put a fire suppression system upstairs and a wet system for the downstairs. A six (6) inch line will be brought into the basement and it is recommended that a heat source be provided so the pipe does not freeze. Dale Lauver does not think it would be a problem as long as piping is not against the wall. They will need access to the attic. It could take approximately five (5) weeks – Monday thru Friday.
