Sills was a charter member of the brigade and served it faithfully for 60 years until his retirement in 1935. Fire chiefs through the years, some serving more than one term, have been: James Cline, Dennis Hour, George A. Silts, James R. Wright, George Murray, William Cline, William Reid, John P. Bell, Parker Queihton, Frank Sills Sr., Alfred Box, R.G. Pouche, John Cumming, John McKenzie, E.J. Pat Box, A.W. Dick, Nam Scoins, D'Orlean Sills, Allen Reid, John F. Scott, Donald W. Hulley and Harry Hak. John F. Scott served from 1951 to 1973, the longest term of any. Over the years firemen have been active in other events of the com- munity such as old boys reunions, band tattoos, dances, barbecues, sport competitions, arena fund raisings, and particularly the Mus- cular Dystrophy campaign for which the firemen assume respon- sibility. Local firefighters also hold a July 1 breakfast, and have used the funds to help pay for renovations to Tanker #5, and to help the hospital building fund. The time of simply fighting fires in wood structures has passed. New techniques have been developed requiring a professional approach to duties which can involve chemically fed fires and spills, structural fires, fires involving deadly foam in- sulation, car accident extrications, and search and rescue. Many of the men of the Seaforth Brigade have taken courses put on by the Ontario Fire Marshall's Office on such topics as auto extrication, pump hydraulics, radio communication, officers training, ladder and hose lays, breathing apparatus and ven- tilation. The department covers all of Seaforth, part of McKillo Township, one third of Tuckersmi and small parts of Hullett and Hib- bert Townships. Firemen are dedicated men who are on call 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. More common venae paid to good housekeeping and maintenance procedures by the public would help in keeping the work of the fire fighter to a minimum. Please remember that this week - Fire Prevention Week - and all year. HART FORD -MERCURY 527-1010 MILTON J.
