Think of Flu Victims Before Turning in False Fire Alarm, Feb. 10, 1920

From The Monroe Journal, February 10, 1920

Request From T.L. Crowell, Chief of Fire Department

While the epidemic of influenza is on, please be very cautious about turning in false fire alarms. The fire alarm is very annoying to sick people, and well people don’t care to hear it. We have a number of firemen down with influenza and some that are just getting out. One of our men answered the alarm last Saturday morning that has recently had the influenza and came very near dying as a result. My men are no slackers. Take into consideration, they are volunteers.
