FIRE DEPARTMENT INSPECTION The in.
spection of the Alexandria Fire Department
took place yesterday afternoon as proposed.
At four clock the members and apparatu US OF
the Sun, Hydraulion, Columbia aud Relief
Hook and Ladder Companies were at the foot
OF Duke street.
The commanders of the several companies
were Instructed to inform their members that
at a given signal such piece of apparatus was
to take certain position, the engines to lay out
their hose and force water and the Hook aud
Ladder Company to raise their ladders as soon
as possible, the pressure of steam not to eX-
coed 10 pounds at any time during the trial,
and every action to be done quietly and or
derby.
When the signal was given the start was
made, and the scene Was one of great excite
ment. Ia three minutes the Sun was at work
aud the Relief had every ladder in position,
and the members ready for further orders. Iu
eight minutes both steamers had sufficient
steam to Start, and from that time until about
five clock were at work testing the hose,
which was one OF the principal objects of the
inspection.
Both steamers were found to be iu most per-
feet order, and the hose was, with slight ex-
captions, found to be satisfactory.
lne Suu engine worked Well OUT tue Stuall
amount of hose 10 their charge Was in very bad
order.
The Sun and Relief retired early, the steam
crs remaining 10 complete the hose inspection.
As the Columbia Company left the ground the
Hydraulion gave three cheers, which was re-
turned by the Columbia Company.
1t is proper to mention, in regard to the
length of time required by the steamers IN
making start, that in time of fire they light
off immediately upon leaving their houses,
and the draft created on the way enables them
usually to throw water by the time the hose
and pipes are 10 place. lu the trial, Yesterday,
more time was required, as the engines had but
a short distance to move.
The citizens present. appeared to be much
pleased with the condition of the Fire Depart
ment aud the good order and feeling at present
existing is certainly very commeDdable.
