July 30, 2010 Fire damage totals in Appleton are much lower so far this year.
Fire Chief Len VanderWyst says through the first six months of the year, fires caused $727,000 in damage. That compares to nearly $2.2 million through June of last year.
VanderWyst says the fires at Valley Funeral Home and a dentist office on Northland Avenue accounted for much of last year's total.
The number of hours that firefighters have spent on emergency calls is also down this year, by 30 percent so far. |
