The new equipment for the village fire
men has arrived and among other things
contains three helmets for Messrs. Grow,
King and Mcfarland, which are of the
heavy kind in use in city companies;
eighteen heavy rubber coats and hats, sew
era1 respirators for use by the nozzlemen,
a new patent spray nozzle, several hydrant
cutoffs, hose filters, etc. Mr.. Grow has
also heavy bulls-eye lantern for use
his wagon while going to fire. The really
necessary articles needed by. our village in
addition to the splendid water system and
which would make the fire protection much
better, are some extension ladders. These
should be placed in convenient places in
the business part of the village convenient
for immediate use if necessary. If the fire
department had had plenty of good lad
ders at their disposal when the McDougaH
house took fire last winter the loss would
have been small and the fire quickly lput
out.
