Talk Given Fire Johnson
City and county participation
in fire fighting work was the
topic of a talk given by Captain
Sid Johnson of the Rome Fire
Department at a regular meet¬
ing of the Trenton Volunteer
Fire Department Tuesday night.
Captain Johnson told how
both the city and county fire
department worked togeather
in Floyd County. He said that
though the houses were not so
close togeather in the rural
areas that it was possible for
the fire engine and crew to
save the house if the barn was
burning or visa versa. He also
told that because schools and
churches are usually more easily
accessable that they had good
success on saving these public
buildings.
After his talk, this was dis¬
cussed for Dade County but
nothing definite was decided at
this time.
There were eleven members
of the Trenton Volunteer Fire
Department present at this re¬
gular meeting which was held
at the home of Fire Chief C. E.
