Naples City Fire Deparfme adds to rescue Last year's fund-raising beach party and local business donations have made the purchase of a new set of $1500 hydraulic rams possible possi-ble for the Naples City Fire Department recently. Naples Fire Chief John Kay said the new rams will aid in pushing and pulling steering wheel columns and dash boards off pinned victims in automobile accidents. The 32-inch 32-inch piece of machinery is placed inside, on the floor of the vehicle and has the capacity to extend itself to 4 fect, pushing metal and plastic away from the victim. "New cars are difficult for us to get into because be-cause they are so small," Kay said. NAPLES FiK Chcf.

Purchased in 1987, also used for extrication calls. Before Jaws, the department used the Porto Power for the job. Besides being faster than the Porto Power, the Jaws are also more powerful "with a much greater capability," Kay said. "The Porto Power require at least two men to operate. It is a work-out." The department has kept the old equipment, however, for backup. Naples' first real fire truck came into existence when the city incorporated incor-porated in 1983, Kay said. The truck is a 1000-gallon pumper and demonstrates the way his new to four fect , ( GKEAT I TIMING J in l a 1 automobile accidents and attack truck.' is used for fires. In 1985, a smaller, 250-gallon mini-pumper truck was purchased. "It is our rescue truck," he said, and called it the "fast-attack" truck. It also goes to grass fires and aids the large truck on other oth-er fire calls. Thirteen volunteers have been trained and tested to use the equipment equip-ment to save the lives and property of individuals in their city and neighboring areas, Kay said. When asked why volunteers are willing to dedicate their time to the department, depart-ment, Kay responded, "Personally, I'm petrified of the thought of my house burning down." Volunteer Dale Hamson said he does it because be-cause "seeing the people you help makes it worth it." Kay said the next purchase of the Naples City Fire Department would be a tank and air bag system. The air bags can be used to lift and stabilize sta-bilize vehicles, etc., tipping or trapping trap-ping a person in an accident or fire. The bag system is expensive, costing cost-ing $3800, Kay said. With $1000 left over from last year's fund raiser, he said he hopes this year's beach party will provide the rest of the money to pay for the new equipment equip-ment The community is fortunate to have the equipment it docs," Kay said. They have been really supportive support-ive of last year's fund raiser and wc hope for support this year." This year's party will be held at the Naples Hydrosaurus Watcrslidc at 6 p.m. August 18. There will be live entertainment, food and a raffle. Hidden Treasures;. to be found In tha Vernal Express Classified Ads 1AHKNTS Docs your chikJ lAuH o'ol? Cv3 your th.sd S t dose to the T.V.?

In anticipation of showing the crafts and skills they have been working on, members of 4-H are putting on the finishing touches to win prizes at the Uintah County Fair. Mercie Romero, a 4-H leader teaching photography for the second year, said her kids last year did well at the fair, and expects ribbons this year as well.

Activities for this summer include in-clude a trip to the Dinosaur Quarry with a young naturalist leader on Thursday, July 26, hikes in town, taking pictures of historical sights, etc. "I think it's good to have things in the summer for kids to do," Romero said. "It's fun for them and we have a good time with this." Class officers are: Chris Romero, president; vice-president, Eros Arocho; treasurer, Nelson Velasquez; secretary, Jeanie Arocho.
