Fire Department Ready For Hydros

Item: City fire prepared for hydros: Cd’A could be reimbursed for additional staffing /Tom Hasslinger, Coeur d’Alene press

More Info: Coeur d’Alene, which banned hydroplane racing in 1996, is ready to provide $3,480 in emergency response time and equipment for the Labor Day weekend races outside city limits. The plan is for the city to get reimbursed for its trouble, however. The Coeur d’Alene Fire Department is offering one fire engine staffed with three responders, an ambulance staffed with two others and one command officer as backup for Kootenai County Fire and Rescue, the agency in charge of manning emergency personnel for the holiday weekend event.

Question: What services should the city of Coeur d’Alene provide for the hydroplane races?
