Auxiliary Firemen Compulsorily Enrolled
(British Official Wireless.) Received Thursday, 9.20 p.m. RUGBY, May 21. All part-time auxiliary firemen who have reached 25 years at the date of their registration and whoso calling up for military service has been deferred until June 30 are to be compulsorily enrolled for whole time duty in the A.F.S. at once. Several thousand men will thus be added to the full-time strength of the fire service. Priority will bo given to those districts in which there is specially urgent need for full-time men, but as far as possible the men enrolled will be posted to fill vacancies in the A.F.S. establishments in their own areas.
