The Layton Fire Department was also summoned to the scene. Young said Tuesday he was waiting for trained personnel to By combining services with Clinton we utilize more men on patrol and enable our two men to do more detective work, said Gunderson. At this point our patrol has mutual agreement in helping one another in both departments and when two people want to take a vacation at the same time or someone calls in sick, we can work it out, Gunderson said. Sunset Fire Chief Arley Wallace added that both cities work together on fire protection. If we have a large fire, the other city always responds and helps out. Weve been doing that for 10 years now and it works out great, said Wallace. Clinton Councilman Steve Weller said he feels the agreement will benefit both cities. I feel that with all these benefits to both cities this new initiative is worth trying. We responded to several calls in Sunset and had no problems at all, Weller said. We received a lot of support from it and were excited about working with Sunset City, said Weller. Sunset Councilman Scott Mike-se- ll said he feels this new agreement is worth a try. When we first started talking about this. Ill be honest, I didnt think it was going to work. Now I feel its worth a try and if it doesnt work then we always can go back to the way it was, said Mikesell.

He said no one was injured in the spill and there was no threat to human life when the cleanup was delayed.
