tion-a and working of this command for the
protection of the post against fire:
First-At the alarm of fire every bugler
in the garrison on or off duty will take
command is thoroughly aroused. The
guard will at the same time discharge
the field gun posted near the guard
house.
Second-The fire apparatus will consist
of two hose carts and one hook and lad
der wagon, axes and buckets
Third-The fire department will consist
of the fire apparatus as above indicated
and a salvage corps of three companies
and the band. This corps is purposely
made large to insure its having sufficient
representation at fires when a battalion
might be out of the post.
Fourth-Company 4 is designated as
the hook and ladder company AT the
alarm of fire it will fall in and proceed
on the run to it's truck and take 1t by
the most expeditions route and manner
to the fire, where it will be halted and
await orders, standing at ease. Should
the necessity be apparent for ladder or
ladders being placed in position from the
ground to the caves of a house, indicated
by flames or smoke breaking through
the roofs or out of windows, then the
officer or non-commissioned officer in
a certain number of men to place one or
more ladders in position, holding the re-
mainder of the company strictly IN ranks
at ease awaiting orders from the senior
officer in command of all. This company
will be held responsible that its apparatus
is complete in all details and ready for
work at all times; that the wagon and
ladders are clean and axles fabricated
Fifth-Companies c and are desfg-
mated as hose companies. Their carts or
reels are the ones located nearest them.
At the alarm of fire these companies wiil

respective hose carts and take them to
the fire in the most expeditions manner
possible and put a stream of water on
the burning building in the shortest pos
sibie time. Should the fire plugs be suffi-
cienfly near the fire to lay two lines of
hose from each cart. two streams from
each company, or four in all, will, if pos
sible, play on the fire; but if this is not
practicable then at least two streams,
one from each hose company, will be
thrown on the fire or adjacent buildings.
All men of these two companies not re-
quired to lay the hose and handle the
nozzles will be kept in ranks at ease,
awaiting orders. The company command
ers Of these two companies will designate
