Kolekcionar vatrogasnog znakovlja

U svom pismu dostavljenom društvu gospodin Frano Plivelić navodi, da je vatrogasno društvo Oštarije tada ogranak DVD Ogulin osnovano 20. kolovoza 1902. godine. Inicijativu za osnovanje vatrogasnog društva uz gospodina Plivelića bili su Jure Gračanin (Glažar), Mate Gračanin (Glažar) i Bakranin te okupili oko 15 članova.Društvo je 1903. godine dobilo od ogulinskog DVD-a ručnu pumpu sa nešto usisnog i tlačnog voda sa mlaznicom pa je tada potreba iziskivala napraviti kola sa bačvom za vodu na konjsku vuču za prijevoz do garišta, što je u kratkom roku učinjeno pod vodstvom Jure Gračanina (Glažara). Društvo nije prekidalo s radom sve do 2. svjetskog rata. Za vrijeme 2. sv. rata tj. od 1940. do 1946. god. društvo nije radilo, ali je postojeća oprema bila sakrivena i sačuvana za nove naraštaje. Ovo možemo zahvaliti bivšem vatrogascu Juri Gračaninu – Glažaru. Obnavljanjem vatrogasnog društva početkom mjeseca srpnja 1947. god. pod vodstvom nekoliko aktivnih mještana, društvo je osnovano sa 21 aktivnim članom i upravom. U upravu društva imenovani su predsjednik Milivoj Rašpica, tajnik Ivan Rahan, komandir Ivan Pribanić (kondukter) i blagajnik Krunoslav Duić. Aktivni članovi dolazili su na vježbu ili požar na poziv trube, a poziv je davan sa kamenog "Marmontovog" mosta, a trubač je bio Ivan Franjković (Adamov). Vatrogasno spremište od 1947. do 1959. god. bilo je u drvarnici Antona Božičevića (Juriša). Kola sa bačvom od tisuću litara na konjsku vuču i to konji Mike Cara bila su u upotrebi sve do 1959. god., a voda se crpila iz rijeke Mrežnice. izvor: DVD Oštarije

In his letter submitted to the company, Mr. Frano Plivelić states that the fire brigade of Oštarije was then a branch of DVD Ogulin, founded on August 20, 1902. Jure Gračanin (Glažar), Mate Gračanin (Glažar) and Bakranin initiated the establishment of the fire brigade along with Mr. Plivelić and gathered about 15 members. so then the need required to make a cart with a water barrel on a horse-drawn cart for transport to the garrison, which was done in a short time under the leadership of Jure Gračanin (Glažar). The society did not stop working until World War II. During the 2nd st. war, ie from 1940 to 1946. the society did not work, but the existing equipment was hidden and preserved for new generations. We can thank the former firefighter Juri Gračanin - Glažar for this. With the renewal of the fire brigade at the beginning of July 1947. under the leadership of several active locals, the society was established with 21 active members and management. President Milivoj Rašpica, secretary Ivan Rahan, commander Ivan Pribanić (conductor) and treasurer Krunoslav Duić were appointed to the company's management. Active members came to the rehearsal or fire at the call of the trumpet, and the call was given from the stone "Marmont's" bridge, and the trumpet player was Ivan Franjković (Adamov). Fire depot from 1947 to 1959 it was in the woodshed of Anton Božičević (Juriš). Mike Car's horses with a thousand-liter barrel on horse-drawn traction were in use until 1959, and the water was pumped from the Mrežnica River.
