Clinton Fire Dep’t prepares for Y2K

December 28, 1999 By admin

The Clinton Fire Department plans to take an unusual precaution on New Year’s Eve in hopes of heading off any potential Y-2-K troubles that may be inside the electronics of the fire engines and other vehicles. Clinton Fire Chief Russ Luckritz (LUKE-ritz) says the engines will be started before midnight and left running as a precaution until after midnight, shut off, then restarted. Chief Luckritz says the department also has equipment to generate power and is working with the Clinton Police Department to have a fuel tanker truck on stand-by for New Year’s Eve.
