ARLINGTON FACING | FREMEN'S REVOLT ‘Liability in Accident County Apparatus Is Questioned. of By a Staff Correspondent of The Star. ARLINGTON COURT HOUSE, Va., April 8.—Arlington County is faced with a possible revolt of the volunteer firemen who man the county-owned fire_apparatus, it was learned today. Such action by the firemen, it is said, would probably leave the county with- out fire protection. This situation has been brought | about, it is asserted, by the questioning of the liability of jthe county in case of an accident involving one of its pieces of apparatus, Board Members been referred to Commonwealth's At- torney Lawrence W. Douglas for an mamtumnomhubemlonh Recommendation Adopted. Claiming it is unfair to expect the | volunteer firemen manning the county- owned apparatus to assume personal ‘lthlty for death or injuries that might be suffered by some other person as a result of a collision with a piece | of fire apparatus, the Executive Com- | | mittee of the Arlington-Fairfax Coun- | ties Volunteer Firemen's Association | has adopted a recommendation which it will present to the main body at its next meeting. The committee will recommend that |in case the liability insurance is de- | clared illegal and discontinued the in- | dividual fire companies immediately in- | form the County Board that the mem- bers will refuse to assume the personal responsibilty of taking the apparatus | out in case of a fire or for any other reason. Board Member Lyman M. Kelley has | assumed the role of protector of the firemen and appeared at the Executive | Committee meeting to explain that the firemen would be subject to personal suit as a result of accidents if the in- surance is dropped. This, he declared, would be unfair to them. - John C Gall and Fred A. Gosnell be- | lieving that the county is not liable and that, therefore, there is some doubt | as to the legality of the liability ig- surance that has been carried for the !past several years. The matter has! Not Opposed to Insurance. Sponsors of the probe into the legal- | ity of the insurance stated today they are not opposed to the insurance if it is legal, and if it is not legal they believe ' it should be made so by the General Assembly. The situation has raised the question | of whether the board might set a men in case the volunteers refuse to serve and whether, after once taking such action, it might make definite ar- rangements for paid drivers to be per- | manently stationed at the fire houses. At the present time there is not a paid fireman in the county.
