A bit long.
Volunteer Fire Fighters, the most dedicated group of people that I know.
My hat is off to all of you.
Boss & another co-worker where I worked 16 years were volunteers. Boss retired as first assistant chief.
Policy was 4 men to station GO!!! If miss the truck, or call location was closer than station, GO DIRECT TO SCENE. Turn-out gear is stored on the truck.
Average response time from alarm to first truck out was 2 minutes. That's right, two minutes. But they cheated- City hall/main station janitor, machinist at auto shop 1/2 block away, bar owner 3/4 block away, tech at tire shop across street from that bar, were all first to respond.
My work place was across street from sub-station. Boss & co-worker first out, Father-son team from lumber yard across railroad tracks next, guy from electric motor shop 2 blocks away last, then GO!!!.
Spent my public service in vol law enforcement. Worst call was double fatal crash. Young lady expired in my arms while rescue was extracting her. Found out doing the paper work that she was someone I knew, knew her parents well.
Rescue responce that night- 3am, less than 15 minutes to get out of bed, go to station, & 8 miles to scene. Can't get much quicker than than that.
Willie

There is no known history regarding its origins or what service it had done, but the following work was undertaken alone to bring it up to show standard.
