ABOUT DREISS HILL.
SUMMARY OF THE WEEKS NEWS
FROM THEREABOUT.
Description of the Fire Engine House
Social and Religious Items
Other News.

The Hill people are at last protected
from the fire demons fury. They
have one of the best fire extinguish-
ing engines in the city and well e.
quipped fire station, and with the
brave force of men stationed there,
the residents of East End South
Heights, and particularly Dreiss Hill,
can rest assured of abundant protec-
ton in case of a fire. The engine
house is situated on Mitmann street,
between Montana and Wyoming, is a
large, square twO-story building and
is we'll finished. Mr.. John Putnam,
formerly captain of No. engine COM
pany, is the captain, with DR.. James
Stevens, practical veterinary surge
on, and eX-member of the hook and
ladder company as driver and Ed.
Putegnat, formerly of No. company,
as nOZzleman, all old and experienced
firemen. The fire eXtinguishing ap-
paratus stationed here is the new
chemical engine and hose wagon COM
bined, recently built by Mr.. Will To
bin, the chiefs brother. Being COM
bined as it is, a chemical stream and
one from the fire plug can be used on
the fire at the same time, thus MAX
ing it one of the best in the city fire
department. The truck carries 10
sections, or $50 feet of large hose and
at present 100 feet of clinical hose,
but 100 feet more will be added in
few days. The chemical tanks carry
60 gallons and fresh supply of the
| soda and other chemicals for reload
ing the tanks, is also carried, enabling
| them to hold out for a twelve-hour
run. The truck also carries two lad
| ders, each twelve feet long, thus en-
abling them to reach the roof of any
house in this part of the city. The
| two new horses recently purchased
| for this station are being trained in,
working one at time with old "Ben,"
from the Chemical station. The "trip"
which looses the horses when an
| alarm comes in, is not yet in, conse-
| quently the horses have not been drill
led in that respect yet. 1t will be
placed in this week. The 'joker'' and
register, by which the boys can tell
from where the alarm is turned in.
have not yet been put in place but
will be placed in position in about two
weeks, meanwhile alarms will be re-
ceived over the telephone, which is al
ready in use. Captain Putnam and
family reside in the upper story of the
building with the exception of the
Southwest corner room, which is Oc-
cupied by Stevens and Putegnat,
from which place the men slide down
a pole. as in all engine houses, to the
ground floor when an alarm comes in.
The men have been out testing fire
plugs during the past week and have
already selected routes to East End
and South Heights in case Of an
alarm from either of these suberbs.
