Rural Fire Protection Body
Plans Drive For Members

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*
