Lloyd E. French, Fire Chief Town of Rumney
At the 1946 town meeting a committee was appointed to see about water holes in parts of the town that were without sufficient water protection. After some consideration it seemed at the present time it would be better to purchase a truck with a water tank large enough to hold the fire until other pumps and hose could be set up. A truck equipped with a 500 gallon tank and a 500 gallon midship pump would answer this purpose. Also it might be possible to have the insurance rates lowered with an outfit of this size.
