Practical Training
Nome Volunteer Firemen have
I received high praise from Curt
Claussen for their responsiveness
to the program now underway in
learning modern firefighting pro
cedures and practice.
Monday night the local fire
eaters practiced with fog nozzles
on a burned out house at 3rd Ave.
and D Street. The structure was
set on fire and completely de
stroyed in a controlled fire.
Although there were two homes
immediately adjacent only minor
damage was inflicted on one of
the houses, illustrating quite
graphically that damage that
might have resulted had it been
an uncontrolled fire. Siding was
discolored on the home of Mr. and
Mrs. Jack Reed due to rust in
the water and fire line and a
little water damage as some salt
water went through a window,
it is reported.
The tension caused by not
knowing if the practice burning
would keep the fire under control
upset Mrs. Reed, whose home
was on the windward side of the
burning building, and the fact
that she had just moved into her
new home, and was not aware
that the house was to be burned
next door until the crew was at
work, is probably the reason,
stated her husband, Jack Reed.
Last night the volunteers prac
ticed with extension ladders and
learned more about the use of
fog by watching a film. Tonight
there will be a hose drill and to
morrow the demonstration will
be on use of the Scott Airpack
and resuscitator. Friday will he
the last night of the instruction
when a summary and review will
bring to a close one of the most
valuable adult vocational train
ing courses ever presented in the
community.
KNOM-TV has been showing
special fire films during the week
and Nomerama gave a showing of
the 1934 fire which destroyed
downtown Nome.

Visitor From Colombia
Fabiola Aquirre, South Ameri
can visitor from Colombia, made
her first trip to Alaska two years
ago and liked what she saw so
much that she has returned for
a second visit and is considering
making her home in this 49th
state.
This interesting visitor is writ
ing a book on what Alaskan
women do, as contrasted with the
women of Colombia who have
had the privilege of voting for
only the last five years, and are
very interested in the status of
women in other parts of the
world.
