CAN YOU SPARE A LITTLE TIME?

Posted: July 29th, 2007 :: 101 Gamaliel Fire Protection District (Station 86) (Station 86 Rescue)

Daddy and me When the whistle blows, Everyone comes to see What the fuss is all about, ‘Twas no different with me. With me riding shotgun, Daddy would drive fast To climb up in the fire truck And put on the breathing mask. When I saw the truck leave, I’d get out of the car, Walk up to the firehouse, And hope Daddy wouldn’t go far. I’d drop down to my knees, Pray that he’d be safe, That God would bring him back, And Daddy’d have no grave. Once I was of age, I would ride with Daddy. Sometimes we’d make a truck together, That always made me happy. Serving with my father, Makes me as proud as can be, He doesn’t have to say it, I know he’s proud of me. by; Alison - Clayton fire company, usa

Everyone is pressed for time. With family, work, and other obligations, you probably feel you don't have time to volunteer. What if everyone felt that way? What if we felt that way? The members of the 101 Gamaliel Fire Department have families, work, and other obligations too. We still find the time to train, to practice and to respond when called. There is always time to do the important things. We don't all respond to every call - we do what we can when we can. Your help is needed, so that someone will always be there when there is a call for help
Most of our Calls take about an hour and a half or longer depanding on the call. Can you occasionally spare that much time out of your day to help your neighbors? We need Firefighters, Water Shuttle as well as EMS personnel, you can do it all or just one of the three.
Come and talk to us - our meetings are 7:00 PM every Tuesday of every month, at the Fire Station - or contact any member.
