truck from the City of Miami and the affect of a volunteer department on insurance
rates, it was suggested that the Village Manager visit some of the cities where
a similar system is now in effect, such as Boca Raton. It was further agreed

a fire truck, then secure all the necessary facts for the establishment of a
volunteer department and take the case before the fire underwriters to ask them
for a rate.
