HE DEVELOPMENT OF THE
voioimtii infat de
^AftrtTENT IDEA.
The steady growth of Volun
teer Fire Departments, both in
Alaska and smaller cities throu
ghout the United States, is a re
cital of persistent progress in fire
fighting technique and system.
The conditions which originally
prompted the forming of such or
ganizations were never more
acute than the ones now appar
ent here in Nome. The cities in
Alaska are never financially suit
ed to employ a full company of
fire fighters in their departments.
Instead, they have fostered the
formation of volunteer compan
ies, taken part in their training,
and today they point with pride
to their fire fighters.
Public support of such a pro- j
posal is absolutely necessary, and
it is with this in mind that the
city council last evening definite
ly took up the subject and is go
ing to push it through.
Three men are employed in the
Nome Fire Department—one in
charge of the engines and equip
ment at the station, the chief,
and the driver of the truck. It
is physically impossible for two
men who go to the fire to carry
out all the work necessary. The
Chief must rely on efforts of town
people who fco to the fire. And
nine times out of ten, they are
inexperienced and much valuable
time and the proper system is
lost.
With proper trainij^j and a com
pany of volunteers on call, Nome
would be given an even more
efficient fire fighting system. The
resulting security to property j
owners, buildings saved and the
spread of flames controlled by
systematic work, would be well
worth the time and effort of any
man who volunteers for such
duty. .And in this respect, fees I
are paid to those who participate.]
This, however, will probably j
come in for more definite plann-1
ing.as the details are worked out.:
The principal point raised is—
Secure sufficient citizens interest
ed in this proposal and then work
it up. The council feels it can be
done. Chief Law’s of the Fire
Department is confident it will be
a success, and we believe that
the townspeople will certainly
get behind it, as soon as actual
plans and details are announced.
A volunteer fire department is
what this town needs—let’s go
after it.
