Fire Chief makes plea for old fire hall alarm bell

Kenora's fire chief has made a passionate plea to keep a couple of

artifacts from the old fire hall on Second Street South.

Warren Brinkman met with the Heritage Committee and members of
city council yesterday to talk about what should be done with the old alarm bell and the call box.

Brinkman wants to bring them up to the new fire hall on Barsky's Hill.

He says local fire fighters can do a better job of protecting the heritage value of those items.

Heritage Kenora says it still wants to see the items remain in the old firehall.
