Fire Hall And Equipment i

KENSINGTON The lhriv-l ing Prince County town of Ken-. sington has “some of the best fire fighting equipment for tllis size of town in the province". according to ayor Everett' Champion.

This winter marked comple- tion of Kensington's new ' hall and sinking of another well with an accompanying pump. Tile new pump is a 159 gallon‘ per minute turbine unit th at, feeds into a 30.0000 gallon under- ground reservoir tank. Two. years ago the fire department- added a second piimper to the fleet.

The town can he justly proud of its equipment for it was the first in the province to establish the “rural” program of fir e

fighting. In this system resi- dents of rural areas subscribe for a nominal fee for fire pro-

tertion through the Kensington department. This method has

been successfully opera t e (1‘ over the past five years or so.

The enrollment charges collected by members of the. women's institutes in the var-3 lous districts so it becomes a; truly coroperational unit. Pepul-i arity of the program is indicat-. cd by the number of queries? the town receives. Mayor Chani-i pion said as a result of the sue-f cess with this type of operation: other municipalities have simw ilarly embarked on a venture of this nature.

AREAS SERVICED

Areas serviced by Kensing-i ton include such outlying places as Emerald, French Rive r,l Stanley and Malpeque, general- ly speaking. in a ill-mile ra d-. ius. Fire Chief Bruce hlachod said about 600 rural subscribers enrolled last year.

The old fire hall in Kcnsing»-. ton was located in what is now‘ called “the old post office build:

g". This was torn down andl1 the new one superimposed in its place. The new hall is about 54. by 32 feet and adjoins the “old‘
