Modern technology and higher qualifications for training and practice have .changed fire fighting over the years," said Fire Chief Don Warner. Chief Warner should know• On October 18 he received a 25 year medal and a five year bar for his service to the Hayfield Fire Department, Although Chief Warner' has put in 28.5 years of service, his awards total 30 years. He believes that he received the five year bar because he was over the half way mark that separates the 25 year members from the 30 year members,. ''The one factor that has nut changed since the founding of the fire department in 1947 is the number of fire fighters. "There were 21 men when it started and there are still 21 men," explained Chief Warner. The original minute book, which has recently been microfilmed to insure its safety, shows Ernie Hovey as president; Grant Turner, vice-president; RegF'rancis, secretary; 1,es Elliott, treasurer; Perce Weston, "White" Weston, Hugh Gilmore, Charlie Toms; Lloyd Scotchrner, directors; I,es Elliott, purchase departnlent: George Little, Ed Weston, Walter Westlake, John Howard, directors of fund raising. The chief of the first brigade was Walter Westlake. 'First lieutenant, George 1.ittle; second lieutenant, Grant Turner; • Mert Merner, Reg Francis, Arnold Makins, 'Tom • Castle, engineers; Arnold Makins, Reg Francis, electricians. The nozzle men, the fire fighters who manned hoses at a fire, .were Ken Brandon, White Weston, Nel Davinson, t;ugh Gilmore, Ted Mack, Les Elliott and Ernie Hovey. Walter Westlake, took care' of the maintenance. • 'The only founding member still with the • fire department today is A rnold Makins.. One of the. major changes ('hief Warner has witnessed . over the years was the department's change of ownership. • "The Hayfield Fire I)epartrnent was . owned.bv the firemen until August of 1977. It r HEY". BAYFIELD We Deliver tO YOU WITH SAME DAY SERVICE! FLOWERS FOR TODAY GIFTS FOREVER 166 THE SQUARE, GO[)EItI( H !'HON( 524-8761 Evenings and Sunday~ phone 529-7.211 was the last privately owned fire department in Ontario, and as far as we know, the last in Canada," tie explained. "In August of 1977 we went municipal. We sold all of the assets for $1 and the municipality agreed to buy the department a new pumper." The main reason for the sale of the department was the purchasing of the $52,000 pumper, which the men felt they could not afford to buy with their own money. The following year, the department became jointly owned under the Eire area board with Goderich and Stanley Township. At that time, a 3,000 galloon tank truck was purchased. In 1982 the fire association donated an emergency van to the area board. ••When I first started on the fire department, the pumper and tanker were army. vehicles, An old army truck was converted into a pumper," explained ('hief Warner. •'Today, the department has two pumpers, one tanker and one emergency van. Modern technology hits allowed fire departments to become more efficient through •the use of radio equipment and pager systems. The Hayfield Department became radio equipped in 1980 and acquired a pager system thisiyear. Qualification Changes "The only qualifications needed before was the ability to drive a truck, hold a hose 4 and be available," said Chief Warner. "Now you have to take courses, have the proper driver's licence and be medically fit." Mr. Warner explained that every time tire fighters renew their licence, they must have a medical test. "After working all day, we may be called out to a fire and be up fighting that for six hours. Then we come home, get a little sleep and have to go to work all day...A person could very easily have a heart attack," he said. The members of the department receive a basic rate of pay for attending meetings and practises and an hourly rate for fighting fires, but the sura does not add up to a great deal. So why do they do it'' • "It's a service to the community. In an emergency, a fire department is the quickest body to he assembled," said Chief Warner. "Within a minute and a half of the sirens and pagers going off, we'll be at the fire hall." ('hief Warner became the chief of the •Hayfield Fire Department in 1972, replacing Reg Francis, and becoming the fourth fire chief in 'Hayfield. The others were Walter Westlake and Russ Kerr. ; During his 28.5 years of ser'vi:ce to the Hayfield Fire Department, Chief Warner. has found the firemen •'fantastic" to work with. He plans to stay on as a member of the department in the upcoming years.
