Motion seconded by Commissioner McCla~y and vote carried. The Board received petitions which read as follows: "We the undersigned, firemen of Cabarrus County, wish to make known to the Cabarrus County Commissioners our dissatisfaction with the position of the Cabarrus County Fire Marshal. At present the position is not being filled to our expectations. When the Fire Marshal's position was first created, the county was involved in school programs and county-wide f~i. re prevention activities. The Fire Marshal coordinated all county fire departments toward better training, more organization, communication between departments, was responsible for a better rapport in the departments, and kept departments well informed of changes and the need for changes. The previous Fire Marshal was responsible for the creation of the county-wide Arson Investigation Squad, was manipulating a uniform training program, helped in the preparing of department budgets and ratings, and was responsible for numerous activities not mentioned. We the undersigned feel that firemen in Cabarrus County have gone backwards in- stead of progressing in the service of Fire Marshal as we once knew. Cabarrus County is one of the few counties at present that does not have a Fire Marshal. To date, Cabarrus County does not have a person fulfilling the duties of Fire Marshal to our satisfaction.
