However, the Elk River Fire Department was enroute so they continued on to the scene. The Elk River Fire Department performed no fire service as the fire was already out. and WHEREAS, in checking with the Elk River Fire Department, they stated that they did receive a call cancelling the fire call but the unit had left the station and the policy is that it will proceed on to the scene. Further, they stated that they did perform fire service at the Bayer residence; and WHEREAS, Mrs. Bayer feels that these kind of charges for a fire call will only increase fire insurance costs to homeowners here in Ramsey where there was no legitimate reason for the fire call.
