HUMBOLDT — Humboldt council members made two decisions of import Monday night

First, they changed the city volunteer fire department protocols for giving assistance in fighting structure fires in rural areas.

Such aid has been available, but wasn’t triggered until a request from the rural fire components in Logan and Humboldt townships and Fire District No. 4.

Now, any time a structure fire is reported within approximately three miles of Humboldt city limits, the city firetruck, which can hold 1,000 gallons of water, will respond. Additional assets may be dispatched.
