Mayor Carson read the follO\;ing letter:
TO: Chief Ed•vard Yonkers
Chief, Ft. Collins Fire Department
Ft. Collins, Colorado 80521
As a at!v resi.dent of Ft. Collins, I wish to express my appreciation for the
outstanding performance of duty by the Fire Department in extinguishing a·
fire at my residence on 7 August 1972. On 8 August, I personally thanked
you at your office at Station No. 1, and "!: called ~he City }!anager and the
!1ayor to express my gratitude· to them.
However, I think it's equally important to get the facts on record through
.the City Council:
During the late afternoon of Honday, 7 August 1972, my eldest son and
a guest, both bc,ya age 18 years, were cook~"g food at tvo locations at our
home (outside on the gas grill and in the k1t~hen on the electric stove).
Our address is 3025 Tulane Avenue, in the neu Thunderbird addition. During
a fm• minutes when the kitchen was unattended, a very serious grease fire
developed and threatened the entire structure. Homents later, two nei.ghbors
noting a large volume of black smoke rushed to the rear of the residence
apd entered the house. Hm<ever, prior to moving toward my house one of
these men instructed his •,rife to call the Ft. Collins Fire Department.
These three adults, plus other witnesses in the neighborhood, state that
the fire truck and full crew from Station No. 1 arrived in four and one-half
minutes from the time my neighbor's wife made the phone ,;all to report the
fire. l?ithin another two or three minutes the Ft. Collins Fire Department
had:
1. Completely extinguished the fire.
2. Installed three exhaust fans to reduce smoke damage.
3. One fireman--REHOVING HIS ilOOTS--rushed up the s~airs to the
second floor and closed four doors l~ading to the rooms on that floor.
This fireman, or another man in the departl""nt, went to the basement stair-
well and hallway and closed both doors. These actions reduced smoke damage
to the·basement and second floor rooms to~·
The insured' value of my home is $49,300; its contents are insured for
$25,000, thus a total value of approximately $75,000.
Because of the optimum response to the fire that threatened my home
plus your outstanding professionalism, actual damaee was limited to the
following:
1. Flame3 damage to residence (lcitchen only) est $ 900.00
2. Smoke damage (J.Ft floor and 2 stain<ells) - est $.L000. 00
TOTAL est $1900.00
Please noce that there '!as no loss of life nor injury to any.me and that
by responding in such an outstanding manner, none of tly neighbors in
Thunt.lerbird addition were ever threatened.
Please accept my sincere appreciation and grntitudc for prc~~~·ing my home
anJ i'a:d .. ~y in such an outstanding ITk>nner. Yonr professionalism reflects
the highest otanclards of performance in the best traditio11s of public
se1:vice to our community.
Please forgive me for the delay in makir,g your actions a matter of record.
I'm still· on active duty \-lith the US A"i:Uly a.n.d coTIJIUut:q. f;,:om F~ * Collins to

The apparent low bid on each i tern, after cng~neering evaluation for, .loss
