Obtain permission from Sharon Springs Fire Marshall

Made phone call to Virgil & Peggy.  Got numbers for Stan, Jay and Scott.

Jay Sharp is the Wallace County/Sharon Springs fire chief and is the authority having jurisdiction.

Spoke with Jay on 7/11/7 at about 1pm.  He stated that he was on board and I had permission to proceed.  We didn't get to discuss details due to a bad phone connection.  He will contact me later.

Jay returned my call at 3.45pm on 7/11/7.  We discussed the site plan and he seemed comfortable with the plan.  He will review the site plan on line and comment.  He is fine with my credentials on line, he can print a copy if he needs it.  The fire department will attend the shoot and will attend a brief safety meeting prior to the shoot.  He is aware of the dry wheat field and will have two trucks there as a precaution.  I am told that Stan will plow the field prior to th shoot.  They will ensure that Prairie road is blocked off from about 9:15 until the shoot is over.

He told me the head of the fire department is Jay Sharp, he is usually home by 4:00 in the afternoon. His number is 785-852-4319 and I called Scott Miller so if can't get Jay could call Scott and he has to contact Jay.

Arrange to have field plowed Spoke with Peggy and Virgil Fischer.  They both told me that the property owner would plow whatever was required.  I explained to Peggy and Virgil that a 1500 ft diameter circle was required. 

Stanley Robben is the land owner and his number is 785-852-4770 and he is a farmer so never know what time is a good time to catch him.

Left message with Stan at about 1pm on Tuesday 7/11/7

I am in the process of putting together a display scenario which will show the size and number of shells, the costs for each shell and the approximate timing.

12 inch shells - 0

10 inch shells- 4

8 inch shells - 6

5 inch shells - 32

4 inch shells   40

3 inch shells 100

2.5 inch shells 200

1 & 7/8 inch shells - 288

Size and number of shells is also listed in the site Plan. Additionally, the maximum chained fuse times are indicated for each type of shell. The actual firing sequence is not yet defined, but shouldn’t be required for the shoot – it is just for my use.
