Beaver Island Fire Department Auxiliary report, Beaver Beacon, June 1984.
Reports that the firefighters completed Phase I training at the May 5 Fireman's Ball, lists the official firefighters, says the first annual ball was a success, and records the Auxiliary's hope to make it an annual event. It is a newspaper community report, not a training certificate, roster audit, or proceeds ledger. The holding institution's portal restricts automated access; the archive holds a copy of this issue and can provide it on request.
