No, it's not just three pretty faces on the street! These three happy guys are modelling their new fire fighting gear that was received on January, 15, 1990 at a cost of $1,100 per man.
At the next fire accident, they will not all be dressed in the same attire as the price is too steep to clad them all at one time. As of June, 1990, the old suits will be obsolete and considered unsafe. The newly-designed suite must be in service by 1993. However, twenty-four firefighters' suits at $1,100 a crack, is a hefty bill for a small town to absorb.
Chief Bulpit decided to outfit Doug Woodcock as he attended the greatest number of fires last year with Ken and Garth a close second; all three always seemed outfitted with a scottpack on and hose in hand. As funds become available, all firefighters will, once again, be uniformly dressed.
While the firefighters would just love to show off their new premises immediately, Spring has been decided the "opportune" time to present the facilities to the town and township.
