N. Y. Fire Advisory Board
The N. Y. State Division of Safety’s new State Fire Advisory Board, launched by Governor Thomas E. Dewey, held its first meeting in the State House, Albany, N. Y., on February 24.
In welcoming the fifteen man advisory panel, Governor Dewey stressed the importance of the volunteer fire service, the need for adequate training, and for its coordination with the paid fire forces in emergencies. He said “I want the representatives of the Division of Safety to be the friends and counselors of our volunteer firemen and not attempt to be their directors or their bosses.”
