Firefighting Instruction
For Volunteers Continues
The special fire fighting train
ing course being given by Curt
Clausen is well under way with
detailed instruction being given j
on the operation of the fire truck
and its equipment.
Starting tonight at 7:00 there
will be a training film and thru
out the week other instruction
will be given the Volunteers.
More hose layout and the actual
burning of a couple of houses is
scheduled.
Volunteers who have been tak
ing instruction include: Charles
West, Robert Casperson, Frank
Richardson, A1 Doyle, Charles
Lewis, Pete Reader, Harry Lewis,
Werner Bohrer, Norvin Lewis,
Ernie Bohrer, Robert Lewis, Don
Lyle, Earl Towner, and Tommy
Johnson. Also taking the instruc
tion are Patrolmen Dale Boehler,
Jim Carter, and Fire Chief Bob
Oliver.
Instructor Clausen said this
morning he is very pleased with
the way the program is going and
finds the Nome Volunteers very
responsive.
The familiarization program is
showing the volunteers how to
use every drop of water in case
of a major fire or failure of the
water supply system. Yesterday,
water was siphoned from Snake
River and Mr. Clausen said that
the truck and siphon could pro
vide sufficient water to fight a
fire anywhere in town.
Fire prevention is the other
big and important part of the
training, he said. Nome is in Class
7, way down the list because of
its previous low fire fighting ab
ility. The Pacific Fire Rating
Bureau representative is now in
town and observing this program.
All persons carrying fire insur
ance should be watching with
keen interest the developments
of this training course which
could mean quite a saving in the
premiums they pay for fire in
surance, and help lower the rates.
