EARLY FIRE APPARATUS.

Boston He'd the First Blaze. Fightinn
Engine ON This Continent.
For a great many years the United
States has led the world In the science
II fre-fghting and the invention and
Improvement Of fire apparatus and
equipment. Boston has either led in
the adoption and use Of the latest fire
machinery or It has been among the
drst to do SO.
Boston possessed the first fire engine
IN this continent, which 1t imported
from London in 1878. 1t had six en-
yines when Philadelphia, the second
city to possess one, purchased its first
In 171S. New York was third In 1882,
Salem fourth in 1749 and Baltimore
dfth In 1869. All Of these engines were
small affairs, without either suction or
leading hose, and were built by Rich
ard Newsham Of London, who built
nearly all the fire engines used in the
world at that time.
Only one Of these engines Is known
to be in existence at the present time.
the one built In 1749 for Salem, or.
rather, for Richard Derby Of that
place, who presented 1t to the town.
1t was in active service there for many
years, and a number of years ago was
presented to a Philadelphia fire COM
pany, and is now in possession of the
Veteran Firemen's Association of that
city, and Is on public exhibition at their
headquarters. 1t Is the Oldest piece
Of fire apparatus on this continent.
The first American fire engine was
built by John and Thomas Hill of Bos
ton In 1873, the next by Anthony Mich
OILS of Philadelphia in 1875. and by
William Lindsay of New York in 1877,
none of which was a success, and none
was ever i'm the service of either of the
places named. AS early as 1854, Bos-
ton, then twentyfOur years old, gave
Its selectmen authority to purchase of
Joseph jerks of Lynn five engines, but
there is no record that the engines were
purchased or tnat Mr.. jerks ever built
an engine.
The first successful American fire en-
gine was built by Thomas Lote of New
York in 1743 and was used by No. 3
engine company for a number of years.
Other fire engines Of that city We're also
built by Boston Globe.
