Well, It isn’t broad enough. We have the goods and we know it, and that’s why we are go ing to boast about it. for we have a laudable exultation coming. Our department is made up of the city’s best, stalward. fearless young men, and is captained by a young man who has had years of experience in fire fighting. Chief I. E. Putman. Our equipment, while not the best is more than sufficient for the pre- sent city needs, and few towns the size of Hermiston in the United States can boast of an up-to-date automo- bile fire truck, The truck is a re cent acquisition to the department, and demonstrated its usefulness when it made a hard run out of the city a few weeks ago. There are several things all of us can do to help make the department more efficient. If you are in a car and hear an alarm turned in, put your car to the curb until the truck has passed, this is a very essential thing, and NEVER try to pass the truck when going to a fire. When you hear the siren on the truck, you know it is coming fast, and get out of the way and stay out of the way until it has passed. The city ordi nance about crossing a line of hose with'any kind of vehicle will be strictly enforced in the future, so be careful and do not drive over the hose. Let’s get behind our fire depart ment, give them every encourage ment, and you can rest assured that they will do their part.
