Dakota, January Fad, 1SS8-To the Hon.
Mayor and Council, City of Yankton,
Dakota-Gentlemen: I have the honor
herewith to submit to you the report of
the doings offhy department for the
year 1887. My department consists at
nresent4 of aEVn hos. Gem per. and sass
nook and ladder company, as follows:
Teller Hose 90. Mol 10 men; Champion
Hose 90. No. 2, Is men; Yapkton Hook
and Ladder %. No. i, II men. Total
for department 81 men.
i have in my department. apparatus
and supplies as follows: Two hose carts.
one hook and ladder truck complete,
1000 feet OF ~ inch hose, four play
pipes, two torches ard all necessary
spanners and hydrant wrenches.
The department. has attended fires
during the year, as follows:
OBJ. Alarm sounded, department
promptly responded. Fire found to be
in smoke house, rear of Wyman & Wards
meat market, corner Of Capitol and
Third streets.
On September 9th. Alarm sounded.
Firs found to be in o small building adj
joining Groves hotel, on Capitol street.
Fire was confined to building in which
it broke out. Loss small.
On December 18th, at 4:30 o.. m.
Alarm sounded. Fire found to be in
basement OF Christ church, on tbs cor
ner OF Douglas avenue and Sixth streets.
This was the most stubborn fire
the department had SO far had TO con-
tend with, but after q stubborn fight OF
over two hours the frs was gotten
under control, with a loss to the building
OF about $500. Value OF building n
.daDgerei, about $4,000.
There have been other alarms of fire
during the year to which the department
q always responded, but have been out
OF the reach of water SO I do not deem it
necessary to report them, IS witness
the car shops fire on Sept. 9Th and
the Shaw frs of the 10Th OF Sept.
l would recommend that you procnye
as soon as possible 500 feet more hose,
as some of the hose we now haveis in q
very bad condition caused from INSULT .
cient drying facilities, Two shnt off spray
MOBILES.
/ would further recommend that
you dispose of the present hook
and ladder. truck, as I deem ii too light
for our nse, and replace itwith a new
and heavier me-.
Respectfully Submitted.
