At the first blast of the siren every member of the fire organiza tion within hearing distance who can leave his business starts in a dead run for the truck. If they all get there in time to hang on . . . they're off. Those left go by car to the fire. Self is laid on the shelf . . . Their every effort is concentrated upon getting to the fire and the saving of property. With a growing suburban community as their focal point, fire calls reached 39 for 1950. Thirty-four were for fires, two false alarms and two investigation calls from the forestry department. Sixty-five fire permits were issued and none got out of control. Forty-seven fire hazards were reported, 42 were removed and one received a citation. A total of 242s men answered calls, averaging 6.5 men per call. Total loss from all fires was $20,235 of which $5,200 was out of the district. Value of property risked was $295,950, of which $6,200 was cut of the district. Two automobile fires and two tractor fires were extinguished. On a day in September, when the drought was at its peak, fire calls came four in seven hours, taxing even the spirit of the most enthusiastic firemen. No major accident occurred and only one minor accident. Three water filling stations were added to the district. The number one truck was replaced with an up-to-date, efficient truck. A map has been made of the entire district, designating all roads, buildings and other vital land marks. Approximately $200,000 valua tion has been added to the district. On the social agenda, there was the annual banquet, a Valentine dance and a decorated float in the Cherry festival parade for which an award was received. A "Sadie Hawkins" was held in the fall. The original board of directors still serve, being re-elected as their terms expire. The department has a membership of 30. Team work and harmony have given them an eniable record for tfficiency, and the community spirit demonstrates it fully. Valley Mews IBrief s Two Mt.
