​The monthly meeting of the Creswick Fire Brigade was held last Tuesday evening when there was a good attendance of members, and Captain S. Rowe presided. A letter was received from the Country Fire Brigades' Board, stating that the board had decided to allow the fire bell to be rung on the occasion of the return of any soldier or soldiers from the Front, but strictly on the condition that it is rung by a member of the brigade, giving certain arranged dongs. It was decided by the brigade that the ringing of the bell on such occasions be left entirely in the hands of the secretary.
