Fire Fighters Value Proven A serious fire might have re sulted at Goble if it hadn’t been for the prompt action of volun teer fire fighters under the leader ship of Mr. Cass Fowler and the Oregon Green Guard, states Elude McDonald, fire warden. The fire broke out abput two o’clock on Monday afternoon, Sep tember 16 and the volunteers, con sisting of six men and six boys and girls, immediately went into action. Mr. McDonald, his fire fighters, and equipment arrived at 3:10 and found that the fire had been headed off by the volunteer crew. They then surrounded the fire with trails and got it under control. Oregon Green Guards watched for several days to pre vent it from spreading. The volunteer fire fighting or ganization is organized in various communities of Columbia county through joint cooperation of the county agent, George Nelson and the forestry department. This or ganization has proved its value in other instances as they did last week at Goble. Mr. McDonald praised highly the work done by these volunteers which proves the value of an organization of this kind for the protection of homes and property.
