Show CITIZENS ASKED TO COOPERATE WITH FIRE DEPT. Hastings Smith, recently appointed ap-pointed chief of the Springville fire department, today made an urgent request that citizens refrain re-frain from calling the fire station at the time of a fire to find out the location of the fire. Chief Smith explained that at this time the lines should be left clear for emergency calls and that firemen do not have time to give out the information on the fire at this time. Constant calling by citizens citi-zens when the siren blows retards the work of firemen. The location and other details of the fires will be carried in the weekly Herald, Chief Smith stated. Fires to which the department were called on Saturday and Sunday Sun-day were at the residence of Jack Martin, caused by a defective flue, and at the W. E. Dunn service station,-when a short circuit in the wiring caused a blaze. Very little: damage resulted from either fire. |
