FREMONT â Forming a new fire territory in the northern part of Steuben County has been put on hold as Fremont decided to pull out of the discussion. The decision was unanimous among the members of the town council during the councilâs regular monthly meeting held Tuesday. Only one councilman, Lon Keyes, was absent. Because of the councilâs decision, the third and final public hearing on the territory that was slated for Thursday has been canceled. The Fremont Fire Territory would have encompassed the towns of Fremont and Orland as well as Clear Lake Township, Fremont Township, Jamestown Township and Millgrove Township. Any one of the six backing out would nix the process until next spring at the earliest, as state law mandates all three required public hearings and a vote have to take place between Jan. 1 and March 31.
