However, I feel the people should know that, wnne gooa, it is not fool proof. While the equipment is ' housed in the Loulsburg building and will be manned by paid Loulsburg Fire Depart ment personnel, there Is the chance that at some given time, one or all Loulsburg Fire De partment personnel could be called away, leaving the tele phone and equipment unattend ed.
