Volunteer Fire Department
What every community wants
is adequate fire protection and
a staff of fire fighters that will
do the job. That is what the
Munson Volunteer Fire Depart
ment wants to be their aim
Any of you that were present
on Saturday evening, when a
frame building on Route A was
set afire by the fire department,
know that our men are doing a
wonderful job. The fire was set
by the fire department at 6:10
pm. when the alarm was
turned in and was responded
by at least Is men. Flames were
as high as 40 feet in the air
when the truck arrived and low
cred them. At no time was the
fire out of control.
With the combined efforts of
all the men, the building was
successfully brought to t h e
ground level and a small build
ing about 10 feet from the burn
ing structure was kept from be-
ing ignited. The building was
on the site of the new hospital
grounds and was given the fire
department to dispose of, which
also served as a test fire for
further training for our men.
With the full support of the
MunSon community, this outfit
could become one of the best.
Why not inquire into this and
find out what you as a citizen of
the community can do to make
this dream come true? There
are many new people moving in
each week, that surely would
like to help. Without the full
support of you people, we might
wake up some morning and find
We have no fire department.
And right now, the support is
low. 1t may take a fire in your
own home to realize how i'm
portant and vital our Munson
unit can be.
1t cannot run on dreams alone
or the support of a few. Let's
all get out and help in some
way or another. We would all
rest easier if We knew we were
adequately protected.
Starting the second Tuesday
in November there will be a
First Aid course given at the
firehouSe. Anyone desiring to
enter this class is welcome to
come. 1t will be given by a
instructor, to all fire
men and interested people o f
the community.
