The Ishpeming City Council has voted to no longer charge people for two ordinances regarding fire department responses to traffic crashes and structure fires. The official ordinance for motor vehicle accidents stated in part “[…] charges for services rendered by the City of Ishpeming Fire Department (including standby) at the scene of all motor vehicles: $100.00 per hour ) or fraction thereof for the first hour or less) for each piece of fire department apparatus dispatched…” A similar fee/verbiage was also used in the structure fires ordinance. Ishpeming Interim City Manager, Steve Snowaert, said that the council agreed to phase out the ordinances as they have not been enforced in a couple of years. “It was hard to collect those fees,” said Snowaert.
