He is asking for the Board (and the community) to support the fire department in addressing the safety issues and in implementing rules and regulations with regard to the dryer plant. Terry Slover asked if the conditional use permit can be revisited. He also suggested that the fire department create a report for each incident that documents what they think caused the fire. This would create an audit trail of documented issues. Frederick Marohn called the WTA attorney who gave him the name of the fire prevention coordinator who could be contacted to discuss the issue and the possibility of charging for a second fire for anyone in the township. Jay Roberts mentioned that there have been 13 fires and an explosion since they have opened. Chairman Hinz will call the attorney to see what the Town can do to support the fire department with regard to this issue.
