Show Tribute to Fire Department Dear Editor I would like to take this opportunity opportunity op op- opportunity to pay a well well- deserved tribute to the men of the Vernal Volunteer Fire Department As you may know we were unfortunate enough to have a afire afire afire fire start in some some sheds sheds near our hay stacks The first department was summoned and within minutes trucks and men were on the scene By then the fire was burning in part of the hay I was out of oC town and the firemen contacted my oldest son David Together these men loaded and moved twenty ton of hay in four hours anyone who has hauled hay can ean appreciate the effort put forth I know that I have been guilty of taking our Fire Department for granted knowing but not realizing the service that they perform for forur our ur community The middle of the night calls and their willingness to drop whatever job they are doing no matter how important requires a special l kind of oC dedication I cant can't imagine how futile Cutile our attempts to extinguish large fires would be without the help of these men They are a special breed that tha t our community could use more of Signed Thank you again WAYNE E.
