A. Hannan. Kenton Riddle,
Bob Dsvies, and Pete Norris.
Besides reorganizing the
fire crews, the men also
discussed purchasing protec-
tive equipment, such as
coats, helms, boots, and
pants. They decided to obtain
six sets of protective gear,
three white and three yellow.
Also six tone alerts have
been ordered. These will
quickly notify the crew chiefs
in case of fire.
From the report the fire
chief gave me, it sounds as
though oar Good fire
department is going to be an
even Better one.
In addition to the meeting
with the men, the fire chief
will be meeting from time to
time to familiarize and train
the women in the use of the
fire equipment. The Lrst of
