The Askov fire fighting equipment
has been improved with number of
new and needed items, chief among
them being gas mask, a red spotlight
and siren for the truck. Those in
charge of the truck wish to call at

the street with the siren blowing and
red light blinking it means that all
traffic must get out of the way. It is
vitality important that the fire truck
