ALL DRESSED UP; NO PLACE TO GO

[The Welland-Port Colborne Evening Tribune, 25 November 1931]

New coats, new boots, new hats and new fire hose but no fire to allow the Humberstone firemen to use them, is the case with the members of this company of fire-fighters. A short time ago the fire siren of this village had to be exercised to keep it in condition because there we re not enough fires to blow it often enough to keep it in proper working order. The citizens of the village wonder if the new waterproof clothing and fire fighting equipment will not become ineffective from disuse. Although fires are not desired it is a pleasant thought for the citizens to know that the firemen are prepared for a fire of any size in any type of weather.
