Walter Royal Jones, Jr. Resigns Barnstable Pastorate Because of the danger of fire re- sulting from the prolonged drough t, Colonel William M. Tow, Command- ing Officer of Camp Edwards, was host at a meeting of fire wardens and fire chiefs in this vicinity, last night. Cooperation among the local lire departments in fire prevention , control and fighting was discussed. The subject evoked such keen in- terest that attendance was greater than had been anticipated. Those who attended were Mr. J. C. Pea- body, State Fire Warden , DOBton; Mr. E. Ormond Dottrldge, District Fire Warden , Cotuit; Chief Clar- ence W. Uuyles , Dennis; Chief (J . Norman Ostby, Harwich; Chief Oliver I,. Studley, South Yarmouth ; Warden B, S. Ames, Barnstable; Warden Henry L. Hall , Sandwich; Chief George G. Ferris, Falmouth ; Chief George F. Lee, Camp Ed- wards; Lt. Col. Terrence Noll , Ex- ecutive Officer , Major R. A. Bull- weg, Fire Marshal, Captain Wil- liam E. Boyden , Provost Marshal , all of Camp Edwurds; Lt. Col. John M. Thuuker , Executive Officer of Otis Air Forces Base, and First Lt. W. S. Farrell , Fire Marshal , Otis Air Force Base. In recent years this area has had several huge fires which evoked a lino response from the local fire departments, but which showed the necessity for even greater coordina- tion of effort. Camp Edwards is centrally lo- cated and adjoins four towns, there- fore, a lire which starts in one lo- cation can readily spread and en- dunger lives und property In the others. I Colonel Tow stuted that artillery fire by the troops training at Camp Edwards might possible start some fires , but he pledged his utmost ef- forts lu controlling them by using all available personnel uud equip- ment. He also pointed out that If a fire should spread beyond the lim- its of the reservation , it would then become the responsibility of the local lire chief or warden , but that Cump Edwards would supply all possible assistance. Conversely, tho locul lire wardens or fire chiefs may feel free to cull upon the Cump Edwurds fire department If they need assistance. The problem of maintainin g con- tact unioug the local fire fighters and Camp Edwards was discussed . It wus brought out thut If the Cump obtained u suitable radio set it would be able to maintain radio communication with the various fire departments. It wus also agreed that euch fire murshal and fire chief would bo re- sponsible for his own area , and that any equipment which came to his assistance would be under his Juris- diction for assignment of mission.
