The 1949 appropriation was increased from the $12,000 sPent during 1948 because of repeated protests from city fire departments in the county- that fighting fires in the unincorporated areas was costing more money than the county had allocated for the work. The individual funds apportioned to each of the 10 city fire departments is based on the record of how many fires the department had to answer during 1948, the report reveals. A cost of approximately $163 was set for the cost of each fire. The separate appropriations listed were: Lehi, $4262; Amen- can Fork $3278; Pleasant Grove, $983; Orem, $327; Provo, $4262, Springville, $3934; Spanish Fork, $6721; Payson, $4098; Santaquin $1967; Eureka, $163. The report reveals the city fire departments fought a total of 183 fires in the unincorporated areas of the county, during 1948.
