MAIN 147 BOX 700
Curt Clausen Here
To Teaeli Fire
Fighting Methods
Volunteer firemen, municipal
and utility personnel and all
other interested persons will have
the opportunity of special fire
training for the next week as
Curt Clausen, sponsored by the (
State Vocational Department and
the Department of Public Safety
arrived today for this purpose.
He will instruct in fire pre
vention, fire fighting, and fire
rescue. He stated that the com
munity has ample water and fine
equipment but fire fighting tech
nique is needed to hold down the
fire loss. He said that fire mul
tiplies 50 times in the first 5 min
utes and speedy and efficient han
dling of the fire can reduce this
loss tremenously.
In addition to the instruction,
Mr. Clausen has two films which
are available to any local group
for showing during the next week.
There will be fire drills, fire
practice and many other phases
of training during the next week
so the community is requested to
disregard the fire whistle, fire
truck and even fire.
This training comes at an op
portune time, stated the new fire
chief, Bob Oliver, as under the
new chief the group of volunteers
can get their training all together.
Mr. Clausen likened the train
ing to a baseball team. If you
want to be a worthwhile member
of the team you can’t just go to
the game—it is also necessary to
do a lot of practicing to perfect
teamwork.
“Firefighting is the same, only
more so, and all volunteers must
get into training if the program
is to be successfull, said Clausen.
The training is a progressive
program and Mr. Clausen will be
back to see how the firefighters
are improving and give additional
training if necessary.
