The Argos Town Council members took action on additional readings of an ordinance that sets rates for fire department calls.
The ordinance pertaining to emergency services by the fire department notes that services will be more in line with area fire services and it will help keep the fire service operational.
For initial response with a fire engine, fire truck or apparatus, it will be $250 per response vehicle except for a command/control vehicle, which is $100 per vehicle. For each hour there is on-scene assistance, it will be $150 per response and $50 per command/control vehicle.
Replacement costs of materials used in cleanup operations will be added, if necessary.
It will be $50 for a third false alarm call, $100 for a fourth false alarm call, and $200 for fifth and additional false alarm calls per calendar year.
Lift assists will be $50.
The council adopted the ordinance by unanimously approving the second and third readings of the ordinance.
