Fog Nozzle Given Fire Department A water fog nozzle for fight ing large structural fires is the gift of the Orem Volunteer firemen to the City Fire Department.

Used on the department's large lines, the nozzle cuts the water consumption from 1500 gallons per minute to about 300 gallons. The nozzle is adaptable, and may be used to produce a "water curtain" as well as the fog. Purchase of this ' nozzle for the Fire Department was instigated in-stigated by Glen Mayer, who wa3 Chief of the Volunteer Firemen last year., Under his able leadership the project was completed, and the gift made this week to Fire Chief Howard Jacobsen. Volunteer firemen are paid $1.50 for each fire call they answer, regardless of how many hours are needed. This money has been placed into a fund and used to purchase donated equipment.
