Killin’s New Fire Station Opened

Fulfilling his first public engagement since being appointed a county councillor, Mr. James C. MacNab, Yr of MacNab, officially opened the new fire station at Killin on Wednesday evening. It is the 10th new station to be built by Perth and Kinross Joint Fire Committee.
Mr. MacNab, Mr. A.D.C. Main, chairman of the committee, and ex-Bailie W. H. Baxter, vice chairman, were received by Firemaster A. Masson, prior to the inspection of the guard of honour formed by the members of the Killin retained unit.
In his introductory remarks Mr. Main said that human carelessness was the chief cause of the ever increasing fire loss in the country today.
Mr MacNab declared the building open by breaking the glass fronted switch of the station alarm bell. The fully manned Killen water tender immediately responded to this call and proceeded out of the station with fire bells ringing.
The chromium plated minature fireman’s axe which Mr. MacNab used to break the glass was presented to him by Mr. Main as a memento of the occasion.
