New Fire House Doors
The Nome Fire Department is
busy installing an automatic door
as authorized by the Nome City
Council.
This new door will open imme
diately after a fire alarm is
sounded, speeding up the time it
■takes to get the fire truck out of
the garage. Fire Chief Webb
stated it also eliminates the haz
ard of someone being hit by the
present doors as they swing out

not efficient during a storm as
snow biling up outside could pre
vent opening of the doors.
