Install a fire alarm or be closed down. That was the choice for the Coffeyville Boys and Girls Club.
Coffeyville Fire Chief Hal Bumgarner addressed the city commission at last night's meeting about the choice facing the Club. Bumgarner says because of a change in how the Boys and Girls Club is classified, their facility must have a new Fire Alarm System installed.
The cost to install the required system is $38,000. City Manager Ben Brubaker says this is an important issue because the Boys and Girls club plays such a valuable role in the community.
The City Commission voted unanimously to approve the fire alarm system.
