Fifteen Fire Companies Take Part In City Test
Fifteen fire companies joined a large civil defense drill in Hagerstown testing disaster readiness. Two real fires were set on Maugansville Pike and Woodpoint with ambulances ferrying mock victims to a casualty clearing station at Fountaindale School. Auxiliary police blocked areas as firefighters used relay hose lines, radios, and city and county vehicles to coordinate the simulated emergency. At noon all volunteers concluded the practice operation.
