Chiefwitnesses many changes
BAYFIELD -"The techniques have vastly
changed in the past five years. Modern
technology and higher qualifications for
training and practice have changed fire
fighting over the years," said Eire 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 Bayfield 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 not 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.
'l'he original minute book, which has
recently been microfilmed to insure its
safety, shows Ernie Hovey as president;
Grant Turner, vice-president; Reg Francis,
secretary; Les Elliott, treasurer; Perce,
Weston, "White" Weston, Ilugh Gilmore,
Charlie 'fonts, Lloyd Scotchmer, directors;
I,es Elliott, purchase department; George
Little, Ed Weston, Walter Westlake, John
Howard, directors of fund raising.
The chief of the first brigade was Walter
Westlake. First lieutenant, George Little;
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,a;ugh Gilmore,
Ted Mack, Les' Elliott and Ernie Hovey.
Walter Westlake took care of the
maintenance.
The only founding 11an1ber still with the
fire department today is Arnold Makins.
• One of the major changes Chief Warner
has witnessed over the years was the
department's change of. ownership. '
