Volunteers The modern equipment and firemen are as near as your telephone when you need them. Have you ever tried to decide which group of people in the com munity is the most essential to its welfare—which group you’d miss most if they moved away? Doctors and nurses would prob ably be the first group that you’d think of—or maybe the minister or policemen. But, eventually an other vital but less publicized group would pop up for consid eration—the Volunteer Firemen. Vital to the welfare of any com munity which cannot afford paid firemen are these volunteer fire fighters. On emergency calls twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week, they serve their commu nity, sometimes at the risk of their lives and without compensation. Our own community is fortu nate in having one of the best vol unteer departments in the nation, n The Brevard Fire Department. Standing, left to right: Dan Merrill, D. R.
