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.,] e eautit00u00 There's more horsepower from the f(,re,nost high compression engine, the mighty.
