August 6, 1 Britain Herald, A Firema iditor. New Dear Sir: There are approximately 18,000 firemen in the State of Connecticut. By far the overwhelming majority of these are volunteers. With the exception of a few paid apparatus drivers, the volunteers contribute | their services without compensatior of any kind. It is comparatively | recently that some volurteer depart- | ments and individual companies have taken out blanket insurance under which a stated number of firemen are protected ir cases of accidents sustained while in the performance of duty. So far as I know, none of these policies protect firemen in case of sickness resulting from fighting fire. Only accidents |are covered. Therefore the only firemen are protected against rick- nes contracted in fire fightirg are {hose belonging to fire organizations having special funds raised by the organization themselves for this purpose. Just why the people of Connccti- | cut should be satisfied with a con- | dition of this kind beyond my comprehension. Personally, T do not believe fhat the citizens of the state would be fully satisfied if they were familiar with the facts. T believe the people of Connecticut as a whole are fair-minded and gencrous enough not to expect any body of men to jeopardize life, limb and health in saving their property and human life as well, without in turn adequately compensating these un- selfish men for services rendered. The state does compensate the members of the Conn. State Fir men's Associatian to a certain ex- tent in case of illness. injury or death contracted in the performance of duty. But even this compensa- tion is ridiculously small in compari- son to services rendered. The amount allowed for a certain period of time is not nearly sufficient to cover doctor's bills not to mention the support of the families of those incapacitated. Then again, fire- fighters who do not belorg to the state organization are exempt from this small compensation. As bad as tne above conditions are, there is another one which is worse. This is the failure of the state to in ary way drivers of fire apparatus by acci- dents sustained while responding to fire calls. There is no law on the statute books of the state which even allows towns, cities or munici- palities to assume liability in case of such accidents even though they might desire to do so. Thus drivers of apparatus whether paid or work- ing without pay can ba held crim. inaly and civilly responsible in is of the National drum corps at the | x| protect the | such accidents, no matter how ur- gent the fire call might be. The property and life savings of a driver vrfortunate enough to meet with an |accident, can be swept completely |away from him, and there is no |legal recourse under which he could |be saved from such a fate at the present time. 1 happened to be a member of the |legislative committce of the Conn. | State Firemen's Association which presented a.bill for the consideration of the judiciary committee of th | legislature in 1926, requesting the right for towns, cities and munici palities to voluntarily assume lia- bility in accidents such as those mentioned above, but the bill was turned down flat * by the judiciary committee. Some of the committec !smiled sardonically and patronizingly over the very idea of granting such a thing. We even requested thr committee to change the bill to suii itself, so long as some :elief was granted the drivers, but ti was rothing doing. Since then T have wondered many timés if sardonic and patronizing smirks even greet bills presented to the judiciary com- mittee which are favorable to th big corporations over which the Grand Mogu) in Canaan hoius swuy At the Stite Figemen's convention held in West Haven in 1927, Lieut.

In other words, | nothing has been done about it. | The shirt can be pecled off of the apparatus driver's back today just as | easily as it always could. “Ther: is | absolutely no relief for the driver | who serves for pay or the one who | gives his services free of cha i }ln the hurry to save property or human life a collisior. occurs and the responsibility is placed upon the ap- paratus driver, he can be lgaily cleaned out of everything e owns. and perhaps sent to jail besidcs. Perhaps the judiciary commiitze of 1926 considers its action a square | deal, but I don't. Furthermore, 1 dor't believe the people of Connce- ticut favor the retention of 1his burden upon the shoulders of the fire apparatus drivers of this state. I do not believe that the average apparatus driver is reckless. I be- lieve that any man or any class of men who give their best for their fellowmen should be immune from mean, petty technicalities of the law. I believe that it would be just as easy for the judiciary committee of the state legislature to recommend a law protecting fire apparatus drivers from liability as it is to rccommend a law favorable to some corporation whose property these | drivers may be called upon to save. In the above statement T speak for myself alone, as a private citizen. Personally, I feel some gratitude to- ward this class of unselfish men who do not receive the consideration from their state to which they are justly entitled.
