Polly's Cab Ends Fire Dispatching Role in Frederick County
Frederick County fire companies were notified that Polly's Cab dispatching service in Winchester will terminate as of December 31 1978. The move aims to let the Frederick County Firemen's Association choose its own system, ending a four year dispute that nearly split the group. A meeting to form a new association was planned for Saturday at Stephens City Fire Hall, with many county companies invited.
