This| faet should agzain bring home to the eiti-| zens of Hagerstown that they are for-/ tonate in having an efficient and well | srzanized fire department. This city is one of the few of its size | in the United States that can boast of| an orzamization of volunteers who kmow | how to fight fires offectively. When the department is eriticized, the critiesm| usually eminates from those who either| have never helped the firemen or who know nothing about it. Annually, each department sends a group of members of members to Baltimere for a period of training which proves invaluable to eiti-| zens and taxpavers of Hagerstown daring ! a conflagration. i Proo? of the department’s efficieney is| shown in the city's €re insuranece rates. which are unusually low. Hagerstown can look to its Fire De partment with a great deal of pride and anologize to no one for the enthasiasm. efficiency and loyalty of its fire-fighters. MEET YOUR FRIENDS AT Jd. G.
