There was a day when the threat of catastrophic fire was an ever present worry for families. Building codes were not as good as today, and fire protection was a long way away in many areas. Things have changed. I was reminded today of the importance of good fire protection while driving by Coloumbia County Station 45. On display are the engine (1,000 gallons), the pumper (3,000 gallons) and the bush truck. Good fire protection reduces homeowners premium. We should all love that.
