Brussels firefighters could do little but watch as a shack located behind the sewage pumping
station at the north end of the village burned to the ground. Fully engulfed by the time
firefighters arrived, the men were more concerned with the safety of the children, who used
the building as a clubhouse, than with any danger of the fire spreading from the isolated spot.

Traffic bad at present site
Continued from page 1
The only real concern about the
location for the fire hall came in a
letter from a neighbouring farmer,
who was worried that the sirens
would cause problems for the baby
chicks. Fire Chief Murray McArter
said that with the new beeper sys
tem it is possible that the fire alarm
might never be used and if it is it
would ring just once. Also, he
noted that there is no reason the
siren couldn't stay downtown.
Firefighter John Pennington
stressed the problems with the pre
sent site saying that the volunteers
often can't find a parking space.
Also, he said, it has become
increasingly harder to get the truck
out and around the parked cars.
"Even to turn the hall around at
the present spot is going to cause
problems. It needs to be moved; I
don't care where," he said, adding
that other municipalities have
moved their halls off the main
street and it seems to work well. "I
think the proposed location is a
good place for the fire hall."
Reeve Gord Workman said, "It
looks like a lot of money to build a
fire hall, but I don't suppose there
will ever be another grant to help
do it. The fire hall is needed. When
these guys needed a fire truck they
went out and canvassed to get it.
Now I would hope they could get a
roof over it."
