Fire Police meeting
About 20 months ago, the Columbia Fire Police stopped providing traffic control and security at special events in the borough.
Those special events included the Chamber of Commerce’s Antique, Art and Craft Show, the Bridge Bust, the Cruisin’ Columbia Car Show, along with parades and athletic events at Columbia High School.
The fire police, who continued to respond to emergency calls, during that time said the reason was a $2,5000 cut in an appropriation from the borough.
While the borough worked to reach an agreement with the fire police back when the problem first happened in 2006, there has been very little done to resolve the dispute since.
That might be coming to an end.
Monday night, borough council announced it would hold a special meeting with the fire police on Monday night at 7 p.m. The meeting will be held in the council chambers at 308 Locust St. and is open to the public.
