Rural Fire Protection Body Plans Drive For Members New Home Owners Swell Its Potential Directors of the Orange County Rural Fire Protection Association, one of thd" earliest cooperative ef forts of its.kind in North Carolina, met this week to asaeVs the organi zation’s stewardship and plan for the future. s'; The organization and its equip ment are now five years old an i hoth arc strong and vigorous for the purposes for which they exist, i To keep them that way, the of | ficers plan an immediate campaign ; for new members for additional operating costs and for new equip ment to augment that already in 1 use. It was estimated there are hun fdreds of new home owners, and many old ones, in the area carved by the rural fire, department who > are not members and who need ithe protection offered. Municipal jfire' trucks do not go beyond the towiy limits in most cases and the Rurai Association’s policy is to • vve only its members. Its area i$ within a 12-mile radius of Hills boro. The membersship fee for the Rural association is $20 for resi- j dences only and $30 for an entire farm. . The Orange County Rural Fire Protection As.* >ciation was organ ized on a cooperative basis in 1951 when rural residents, under the leadership of County Agent Don Matheson, contributed to the pur chase of a truck and equipment L • - ■- v . .--'-A— AN EARLyViCTURE of the Rural Fire Department truck minus auxiliary equipment. Thia equip mont has saved many thousands of dollars In prop jrty during the past five yoar. which the Hillsboro Volunteer Fire Department agreed to man. The Town of Hillsboro has co operated by providing housing, washing, greasing and some main tenance. Through the efforts of Chief George Gilmore, who ^operates a garage, the association was able to obtain and equip a fire truck, valued from $10,000 to $15,000 for a little over $6,000. The truck is still in excellent condition, hav ing only about 2,000 miles on itj speedometer. Since the organization of the cooperative here, rural fire pro tection districts have sprung up throughout the State under the impetus of a 1951 enabling act of toe legislature which permits cit izens to tax themselves up to 10c per S100 annually valuation to ob tain fire protection. But the local group L* unique-in its completely voluntary aspects and without connection with the county govern ment. Among the present needs of the rural department,are two-way ra dio facilities and in the near fut ure some additional hose. Arrange ments have been made to tie up with the „ radio facilities of the Sheriff's Department, Chief Gil more told the director*. A resolution thanking members of the Hillsboro Volunteer Fire Department for their valsed ser vices was .passed by the organise- - tion's directors. Non-members living in the area served are urged to come in voluntarily and join for, the pro tection of their property. Officer* are bu.v men and do not have time to make a detailed canvass.
