The village is fortunate in having
so thoroughly efficient an official at the
head of the fire department as Chief
Marden. He keeps the fire fighting
truck and all accessories in good
working order and spares no part of
his department in promptly reaching
fires. Accidents will happen even
to the fire department, and Sunday
one of these happened to the chem
ical truck when the engine exhaust
valve broke while on the way to
fire. The run was completed and fire
put out, but rather than risk damag-
ing the truck and hose it carried,
Chief Marden had the truck pulled in
to the station by the village team. I'M
mediately on reaching the. station the
chief telephoned to Boston for new
valves, receiving them early Monday
morning and in comparatively short
time from the accident the truck was
in complete working order.
