VOLUNTEER FIRE FIGHTERS DISBAND
On Friday, February 18, Bill Taylor
handed in his resignation as Fire
Marshall to the raimer Volunteer
Fire Department. It was accepted
unanimously. It was then agreed by
vote that the group should be dis
banded and cease to exist.
From an original membership of about
24 men, the department had dwindled
to four--Gcorgo Small, Gordon Astrob,
Bob Laurie and Ray Sollers. It has
been felt for some time that this
group was too small and the equipment
inadequate to answer any but city
center calls, according to George
Small. The tank capacity is DOC gal
lons and can only be used efficiently
whero additional supplies of water
arc easily available, says George.
