MODERN FIRE FIGHTING EQUIPMENT.
Definite progress seems to have been made toward
motorizing the Nome Fire Department this summer.
The council which recently took action ordering a
motor truck for the department, equipped with the lat
est and most modern fire fighting equipment, is pushing
forward a plan to partially finance the new unit, thru
the staging of dances, entertainments and benefits, the
funds to go into the Fire Department Equipment Fund.
Their first affair is to be the Cheechaceo Ball this
coming Saturday. Other functions are to be planned
this summer and next winter, it is understood.
The equipment ordered is a Seagrave unit mounted
on a Chevrolet 157 inch wheelbase fire truck, equipped
with a three hundred gallon booster tank, two pumps,
one a booster, and the other a general utility pump.
The truck will be capable of packing 1200 feet of hose,
and pictures of the unit display its fine qualities and
evident signs of efficiency.
For the past fifteen years, various councils and city
officials have sought to motorize the fire department at
Nome, but w ith little success, the attitude being that a
team of horses hitched to a fire wagon or sled was both
good enough, and was really the only efficient system to
be used in this section.
This spring, the present council pushed through ac
tion and a motorized fire fighting unit has now been
ordered. It is to arrive here on the July sailing of the
steamer Victoria.
Difficulties of the long fight to secure this modern
ization feature have included ramifications and argu
ments which would reach from here to the Moon and
back. The most ardous point to be put over was that
such an expenditure of money—$3,237.00—would be
worth the return in efficiency and safety.
With the demonstration of the new motorized equip
ment in Nome we look forward with much confidence,
toward a future reduction in fire insurance ratings, be
sides an all important degree of added fire protection.
As we see it. actual performance and demonstration
should prove to those who doubt the wisdom of such
an investment, that this equipment will be the acme of
efficiency and render the most economical and trust
worthy service of any heretofore maintained in Nome.
In some parts of the country, it seems, the husband
must wash dishes until his wife is tall enough to reach
the dishpan.—Boston Transcript.
