The "Village Volunteer Firefighters" is the first independent fire fighting organization in
a rural area. This effort was made because it usually takes a long time to dispatch fire
trucks in these areas.

One of the residents who participated in the training said, "I tried using the hose reel
fireplug in our town and I now know how it is used and how important it is." She added,
"we will have a regular training, so we can be more prepared in responding to fire
emergencies."
