The Chehalis City Council approved a pair of requests on Monday that stand to benefit the Chehalis Fire Department. Councilors voted without objection to allow Fire Chief Ken Cardinale to join the Riverside Fire Authority and Lewis County Fire District 6 in a joint application for an Assistance to Firefighter Grant from the Federal Emergency Management Agency. The council also approved a pair of amendments to the joint response agreement between the three fire agencies, the meat of which referred to use of the new aircraft rescue engine retrofitted by the department. Amendments to the aid agreement, originally drafted in 2015, must be ratified by all three undersigned organizations to become official.
