<br />If the emergency is minor
<br />and you extinguish the fire, be
<br />sure and call 911 and -cancel
<br />the call. Cancelled calls are
<br />billed differently, If the call is
<br />under Anoka jurisdiction and
<br />the alarm is cancelled before
<br />the fi re trucks leave the sta-
<br />tion, there is no charge from
<br />the Anoka Fire Department. If
<br />the trucks are cancelled while
<br />enroute to the fire, the call is
<br />billed based upon the payroll
<br />of the firemen that answered
<br />the alarm. Once the trucks ar-
<br />rive on your property, the
<br />nominal billing of $150 for the
<br />1 st hour, or fraction of, plus
<br />$60 per each additional 1/2
<br />hour is charged.
<br />The Elk River Fire Depart-
<br />ment provides fire and ambu-
<br />lance service to the NW cor-
<br />ner of Ramsey (approx. 18%
<br />of the City). The City of
<br />Ramsey contracts with the Ci-
<br />ty of Elk River on a yearly ba-
<br />sis to cover purchase, main-
<br />tenance and depreciation of
<br />station and equipment. The
<br />City of Elk River bills the City
<br />of Ramsey for fire calls made
<br />in this area on an hourly rate for
<br />
<br />men and equipment used to
<br />respond to a fire. Ramsey, in
<br />turn, passes this bill on to the
<br />property owner. With regards
<br />to ambulance service, Elk
<br />River Fire Department will bill
<br />the person or persons using
<br />the service directly. If a fire
<br />call is cancelled before the
<br />department arrives, a nominal
<br />fee will be charged for just the
<br />men responding to the alarm.
<br />You may be asking why
<br />Ramsey doesn't have a fire
<br />department. Because of the
<br />equipment cost factor and the
<br />amount of volunteer manpow-
<br />er available at certain times of
<br />the day, Ramsey is prohibited
<br />from pursuing it's own fire
<br />department. The City is cur-
<br />rently participating in a Tri-
<br />City Fire Study with Anoka
<br />and Champlin regarding a
<br />joint fire department. The dif-
<br />ference between the current
<br />contract arrangement and the
<br />joint fire department would be
<br />that the three cities (Anoka,
<br />Champlin and Ramsey) would
<br />be sharing the cost of equip-
<br />ment and personnel and even-
<br />tually, at such time as per-
<br />sonnel can be trained in
<br />
<br />Ramsey, a fire station, fire,
<br />trucks, equipment and per-
<br />sonnel will be placed in the
<br />Ramsey location. Champlin
<br />recently made the decision to
<br />enter into a joint fire depart-
<br />ment with Anoka, and Ramsey
<br />is in the process of consider-
<br />ing the same course of action.
<br />Councilman Gary Reimann
<br />serves on the Tri-City Fire
<br />Committee and has been the
<br />City's leading force in the
<br />development of fire protec-
<br />tion for the City. Councilman
<br />Reimann stated that Ramsey
<br />residents should take a little
<br />more initiative in safeguard-
<br />ing and protecting their prop-
<br />erty and suggested ways in
<br />which to do so: 1) Use smoke
<br />detectors. 2) Keep two oper-
<br />able fire extinguishers within
<br />the home. 3) House numbers
<br />should be at least 4" in size
<br />and easily visible from the
<br />roadway. 4) Provide for a fami-
<br />ly emergency exit/meeting
<br />place plan. 5) During summer
<br />months keep a sufficient
<br />amount of hoses with nozzles
<br />
<br />of Fire
<br />
<br />In Case
<br />
<br />We're sure this goes with-
<br />out saying, but first and most
<br />importantly, get all persons to
<br />a safe area. Your next step is
<br />to get to a phone and call the
<br />911 emergency hotline. This
<br />911 number now serves Sher-
<br />, burne County also and those
<br />Ramsey residents under Elk
<br />River jurisdiction should not
<br />hesitate to use this emergen-
<br />cy hotline. All of Ramsey's ad-
<br />dresses are fed into a com-
<br />puter and when an emergency
<br />call comes in, 911 control will
<br />call out the appropriate fire
<br />department, either Anoka or
<br />Elk River. The average re-
<br />sponse time to a fire emer-
<br />gency in Ramsey has been 10
<br />minutes;. these first 10
<br />minutes are the most impor-
<br />tant, as fires are usually burn-
<br />ing out of control after 10
<br />minutes.
<br />Now the fire has been ex-
<br />tinguished and you receive a
<br />bill in the mail for a fire call.
<br />You may wonder why you
<br />
<br />were billed and why'the City
<br />does not provide fire protec-
<br />tion. Ramsey is on a contract
<br />basis with Anoka and Elk
<br />River Fire Departments; this
<br />contract is for the privilege of
<br />having those departments at
<br />Ramsey's disposal. The con-
<br />tract does not include the
<br />cost of equipment and per-
<br />sonnel required at an emer-
<br />gency. Aamsey has chosen
<br />not to pick up the cost
<br />of fire calls in an attempt to
<br />keep property taxes down.
<br />This charge for fire calls may
<br />be covered on your homeown-
<br />er's insurance policy and this
<br />can be determined by check-
<br />ing with your agent; if charges
<br />for fire calls are not a part of
<br />your coverage, it should be
<br />available as a rider to your
<br />present policy. Keep in mind
<br />that the property owner is re-
<br />sponsible for the fire call bill
<br />even if it was a concerned
<br />neighbor placing the emer-
<br />gency call and not the prop-
