titual
The Lucknow and District Fire
Department' played bast to the
Mutual Aid meeting lastweek,'The
Mutual Aid organizationjis
comprised : of the 18, fire
departments within` Bruce County.
In the case of Lucknow needing -
assistance with a large fire, the
department' is able to call upon
Ripley or Teeswater for aid.
The current executive of the or-
ganization . is Howard Griffith of
Kincardine, president; Bruce
Fenten, Saugeen, secretary
treasurer; Bruce Little, Port Elgin,
co-ordinator and Tom Henry,
Southampton, chairman of the
education committee. The executive
serves a two-year term. A new term
begins in November.
Also attending the meeting was
Ken Jones, Fire Advisor with the
Ontario Fire Marshall's Office in
Owen Sound. Mr. Jones acts as go
between for the departments and
municipalities.
Being a volunteer fire fighter
doesn't mean simply running to the
fire hall, putting on your gear and
rushing to the scene. It takes a great
deal of training for these volunteers
to beeffective at a fire or accident,
always keeping in mind their own
safetyand that of an accident vic-
tim and other emergency help on
the scene.The Mutual Md or-
ganization provides seminars and
training programs .in these areas.
Two areas of interestdiscussed
during the meeting were if all fire
departments had • initiated . the
S . .0st
.eating
inoculation of .Hepatitis B serum
and the danger of exploding bwnper
shock absorbers on automobiles.
Approximately 160 volunteers
belong to this organization in
our county. Only two fire
departments within. Brucehave. full
time fire chiefs:.
Special quests
Constable Andy Burgess. and
Constable George Ling of the Kin-
cardine OPP were special guests at
the meeting. Their presentation was
on drinking and driving and they
explained the roadside. ALERT test
and the procedure followed from
start to finish if a drunk driver is
pulled over.
Constable Burgess referred to the
days prior to the strict law enfor-
cement we have today against
drinking and driving. When it
became apparent that the disap-
proval of family, neighbours and
co-workers was not a deterrent to
drunk driving; it became necessary
to legislate the strict laws we have
today.
Constable Ling, a qualified breath
technician, explained and
demonstrated the instrument that is
used if you fail the . roadside
ALERT test. Further testing is
carried out at the police office on
this carefully calibrated instrument.
Constable Burgess said that con-
viction of drinking and driving
makesit hard for anyone to
function as they are accustomed to,
particularly if that person is in-
volved as a volunteer in some
capacity.
