Summary
On April 11, 1971, a fire-equipment demonstration was held at the Beaver Islander dock. The report says most high-school boys practiced the engine pumper and adjustable nozzles, learned about rescue-breathing apparatus, and saw Michigan Department of Natural Resources equipment. “Bud” Mc Donough and Bill Wagner headed the demonstration.
