During the <br />fair’s run, August 18-23, the department’s on-site resources <br />will be based northeast of the Lane County Ice building. At <br />all times when the fair is open, Fire & EMS will provide an <br />on-duty engine company (fire engine and three firefighters) <br />and two EMTs including at least one paramedic. The Lane <br />County Fair has contracted with the department to pick up <br />the cost of providing the EMTs, so the City will not incur any <br />overtime obligation. First aid for fairgoers will be available <br />in an air-conditioned building with two treatment areas and a <br />private bathroom. Outside, there will be a display tent and <br />the fire engine. Truck ½, a Cushman-type motorized cart, <br />will also be available for on-site response, depending on the <br />situation. For more information, please contact Glen Potter <br />of the Fire & EMS Department at 682-7118. <br /> <br />Work Under Way on Amazon Path Rehabilitation Project <br />The Amazon Path rehabilitation project is well under way, which means a majority of the Amazon Path is closed <br />thst <br />from 19 to 31 avenues.
