W. Edward Fritz
Attn: Pat O'Brien
Farm Bureau Building
Arlington Heights, Illinois
Dear Mr. O'Brien:
In reference to our telephone conversation of April 8, pertaining to
Article 1, page 1 of the articles of agreement on fire protection_: To
the best of my knowledge we have never had two calls simultaneously in the
rural area in the last 25 years. However, should this happen and the
rural equipment is out on a call, the village equipment will then take the
next call and one of the neighbors will take over Mt. Prospect fires. At
no time will the Village of Elk Grove, the rural area, or the Village of
Mt. Prospect be without fire protection.
Yours very truly,
/s/ Edwin Haberkamp, Chief"
