Tommy Elkins thinks about it every- day. So do the 14 other members of the Westfield Road Volunteer Fire Department. Tommy, who has been with the VFD for 14 months, became interested in fighting fires because it looked like it would be exciting. After battling countless blazes, the 17-year-old fire officer finds that fire fighting is also rewarding. As the name indicates, all the firemen are volunteers - no one receives pay. Remembering disturbed sleep and lost time, Tommy comments, lt should be called the Westfield Road Sacrificial Fire Department. Tommy hopes to make fire fighting a career, evi though experts rank it as the most dangerous and phy cally demanding profession. When you first go in Cto p out a firej, it's a challenge. After a while, you realize hc bad it is. After it's over, you have a sense of accomplis ment. You feel confident in yourself, explains the juni who keeps physically fit by working out with weights. Money is the department's heaviest burden, stat Tommy. In order to build a much-needed new statii house, the volunteers had to go collecting on Saturda and ask people for donations. l wish people would sL port volunteer fire departments . . . They don't reali they are only buying fire protection.
