Though policemen pinch hit as firemen in some small American cities now as a result of the manpower shortage, several municipalities find this a satisfactory permanent consolidation, the International City Managers Association reports. For example, Huntington Woods, population 3,000 has had 12 years successful experience with the same personnel serving as policemen and firemen. The public safety force consists of the chief, four men and two part-time ployes.

The chief is on duty daily except Sunday during city hall hours and is on call at any time. The four men work in pairs, 24 hours on and 24 hours off, and alternate every six hours between patrol duty in a two-way radio car and inside duty. The man on patrol is primarily a policeman but responds to fire calls upon radio contact. The inside man acts as fireman responding to fire calls with the fire truck, being met at the fire by the patrol In oase of a serious fire the public works employes are called by siren in the daytime and phone at night ana eive the pay ot volunteer firemen. The part-time employes are high school or eol- lego students who work on alter- nute nights to take phone calls and oe at the station in the absence i of the regular man.
