Fire Aid for Rural Areas
A suggestion was made by the Mayor of Oshkosh, Wis., that some fire protection should be provided for those living in the rural sections about the city. He advanced this idea at a meeting of the Booster Club.
Also present was a Councilman of Fond du Lac who explained that in that city, the surrounding townships purchased a fire apparatus unit which was housed and manned by the city department. When not needed in the rural areas, this unit also responded to city fires. Attention was also directed to a state law which permits the incorporation of fire districts in rural areas surrounding larger municipalities.
