Fire gear replaces muskets for modern Minutemen
In Lorain County rural townships volunteer firefighters answer calls with equipment rather than muskets. The Eaton Township fire phone system rings individual homes of all men on the department, alerting them to location and mobilizing crews quickly. Chief Chester Carpenter notes issues with power, misdialed calls, and schoollet-out pranks, which can delay responses and, in emergencies, cost lives.
