I used to work out of the police station and St Andrews Ambulance Association building both neighbours of the fire station in question. I knew a lot of the lads who worked in that station ( In those days women were just begining to come into the service.) They were hard working proffessionals ready to and on several occasions did give their lives to save others.

I have attended fire awareness talks given by them willingly irespective of the group who requested the talk. Having seen how people treat leaflets handed out in the street, parade or show ground it takes ages to clean up the mess of dropped paper. The one who should be disciplined is the autocratic idiot who thought handing out leaflets anywhere was a good idea.
