New Rescue Squad Building
In Wallace Set To Open
The Wallace Rescue Sauari
marked its move ' 'from tin to
masonry" Sunday in its new
building.
The $90,000 project has
been paid for, officials said
last Wednesday. The dedi
cation ceremony featured a
talk by U.S. Rep. Charles O.
Whitley. D-N.C.
On Murray Street west of
the town hall, the 70- by
50-foot one-story building
includes a three-bay garage
with space for six vehicles,
office, kitchen, two bath
rooms. meeting room and
storage room. Of brick and
masonry construction, it re
places a "temporary" World
War 11 metal building behind
the town hall. The old build
ing could not house the
squad's newer ambulances,
which had to be left outside.
The squad opened a fund
drive last fall. This was
combined with funds on hand
and $6,000 appropriated by
the town to acquire $91,000
for the project. "One people
started seeing something
happening on the site, they
began donating," the
squad's treasurer, Becky
Jones, said last week.
Bud Sikes of Dixie Build
ers agreed to begin con
struction last fall and go as
far as the $30,000 on hand at
that time would permit. Con
tributions came in such
amounts that construction
proceeded with interruption.
The squad has three amr
bulances, one of which is
scheduled for replacement
whenever Duplin County ?
which furnishes ambulances
for the county's rescue
squads ? can obtain a new
one. The squad's equipment
also includes a crash truck, a
board and a jeep equipped
with a generator for emer
gency lighting.
All but three of the 23
members are certified emer
gency medical technicians,
according to Dulan Murray,
thecaptian. All members are
volunteers.
"We need more qulified
volunteers for day-time
duty," Murray added.
Its basic territory extends
from the Pender-Duplin
county line near Harrells,
aboqj 12 miles west of
Wallace, to about five miles
east of town, along N.C. 41 at
Hatch's Store, and from a
mile north of Teachey to the
Pender-Duplin county line
south of Wallace.
Murray said the squad was
organized in 1972 after stif
fening state requirements
for ambulance attendants
discouraged funeral homes
from continuing such ser
vice. At that time Puplin
County began buying ambu
lances for the new rescue
squads. Two were assigned
to Wallace, and one of those
? with 84,000 on its odo
meter ? is the vehicle
scheduled for replacement.
The other original ambu
lance has been replaced.
When the squad was or
ganized, 20 hours' training
was required for ambulance
attendant certification by the
Red Cross, he said. "Now
over 100 hours of training are
requaired for EMT certifica
tion." he added.
Murray said most rescue
squads face two severe prob
lems. One is lack of public
funding so volunteers do not
have to spend time pro
ducing fishfries and barbe
cues or begging hat-in-hand.
The other is the misuse of the
squads by people who call for
rides to the hospital or
physicians' offices that could
be provided in ordinary ve
hicles by friends or, rela
tives. Both strain the time of
the un: -l.i volunteers, he
added.
Duplin County buys ambu
lances for its squads and
furnishes gasoline and main
tenance for the vehicles. The
squads must finance other
vehicles and equipment.
The county also provides
money each year for the
squads. The Wallace squad
will receive $4,800 from the
county this year.
