A fire company was organized last Monday evening, consisting of twenty-two 
men.  The organization was effected by Editor Hirshburg, who was appointed 
Chief of the Fire Department at a meeting of the city council a few days before.

The following are the members:

LeRoy Hirshburg, Sr.
James P. Hogg
B.T. Peacock
H.C. Goetting
LeRoy Hirshburg, Jr.
J.H. Story
Felton Clements
J.S. Medlin
S.N. Rushin
Roswell M. Hair
Carlos Belk
Larue Bethune
Vilas Belk
Dennis Smith
E.C. Duke
Heman (Herman?) Allen
Jack Smith
A.K. Pickard
J.A. Hogg
George McCrary
R.L. Clements

The Officers:

LeRoy Hirshburg, Sr., Chief
H.C. Goetting, 1st Asst. Chief
J.H. Story, 2nd Asst. Chief
J.S. Medlin, Foreman, Reel and Hose Department
James P. Hogg, Foreman, Hook and Ladder Department
B.T. Peacock, Foreman, Bucket Department
Vilas Belk, Secretary
Roswell M. Hair, Treasurer

The company is composed of as good men as Buena Vista affords – men who have 
the courage to do the work required of the members of the fire department and 
the willingness to pledge themselves to the work.

The city council stands behind this fire department and will give it every 
encouragement, provide for it the required fire fighting implements as the 
Chief of the Department reports necessary, and all citizens will stand with 
them in encouraging these men who have volunteered to use their best efforts to 
protect property and life from the ravages of fire.
