The campaign was so successful that a make shift lottery had to be held to determine the first "Chief" of the Ireland Battalion
And the winner was...station officer Bernard Gavin from the Wexford Fire Department...Wexford County Ireland....Welcome aboard Chief Gavin
The "Chiefs" are official in Ireland
Chief Gavin and his boys cover an area of 240 square miles...yes 240 square....Welcome aboard and God be with you boys
A future chief acting as safety officer
