ALERT GRAPEVIEW FIRE CHIEF
RESPONDS TO ETHEREAL ALARM
By Lydia Wren
It is the general practice for
Bill Somers, at whose garage the
fire truck is housed while they
are building the fire house, to
warm up the fire truck occasion-
ally and try out the siren to see
if it works. Saturday afternoon
Les Rice, fire chief, was working
in his own garden when he heard
the fire siren blast. He rnshed to
his car and drove to the store
listening all the time for more
blasts from the siren to get the
direction which the fire truck
would be going.
ItEARING NO further blasts,
he thought the truck was under-
mnned, and the driver couldn't
drive and blow the siren too. He
'called the fire phone number.
Someone was on the line, so Mr.
B.ice asked if he could have the
line as this was an emergency
and the party obligingly hung up.
Mr. Rice modestly asserts this
was nothing, but hc wants t()l
thank the party on the telephone]',
for getting off the line in case I
it might have been an emergency.,]
