Grand ____ __ _____ , _ village will be ready to cope with it. A shiny new “fire-jeep,” a crash truck and a capable squad of volunteer firefighters guarantee a safe vacation for visitors to the summer resort. Last year Fire Chief Fred Jack- son and his men had to attend fires with a pumper mounted on a trailer' hauled behind an auto­ mobile. As Fire Chief Jackson points, out, Grand Bend has been lucky in the past few years and has not experienced a serious fire. But this year, just to ensure that “luck” plete range is lined up hall. The Bend’s houses with its tank of 400' gallons of water. Beside the fire truck squats a bright red jeep fitted with a pumper. The Grand JBend fire department bought the jeep and mounted the pumper selves. With the pumper goes feet of hose, enough to almost any spot in Grand from the river or lake front. “It’s about the best fire-fight­ ing set-up of any town around here,” says Fire Chief Jackson proudly. The Grand Bend fire alarm system works through both the telephone exchange and an alarm box in the centre of town. When a fire is spotted, the message is relayed to the village phone ex­ change and one long ring warns Fire Chief Jackson and his 14 volunteers that they are needed. An alarm box in the centre ot town also sets off a siren on of the town hall and this summons the volunteers. Fire Chief Jackson and chanics completely overhauled all equipment thia spring “just to make sure nothing is going to wear out.” Fred Jackson has been fire chief of the village since 1946 and has been connected with fire­ fighting in Grand Bend for ten years. Tlie village fire department an­ swers calls in the area six to eight, miles around Grand Bend and it still co-operates with the R.C.A.F. fire fighting force at Centralia. The new equipment proved Its worth early this spring when the firefighters answered a call in I the neighboring area. “That jeep can drive any­ where," comments Fire Chief Jackson. “The crash truck held the fire in check with its reserve tank while the jeep weiit right through a plowed field, rah the hose line into a creek with the" pumper, we fire under control?* But although Grand been lucky in the past and al­ though its fire-fighting equip­ ment now ranks with the best, Fire Chief Jackson has a word of warning for vacationers. “With dried leaves around the I summer cottages everyone should I be very careful,” he says.
