A number of old fire-fighters were
gathered down in the police headquar-
ters. yesterday afternoon, and got to
talking over the fires of the present
time and 20 or 80 years ago. In the old
times, if fire broke out at night, the
minister had to be walked up, in order to
get the key of the church tower. Then
somebody had to climb up and ring the
bell. The firemen would tumble out of
bed, hunt for their rubbed boots and
coats in leisurely hurry, and gather
to get the old hand tubs and hose carts
out BY the time they were all limbered
up, somebody would happen along and
say: mo use, boys, she's a total loss,
burnt to the ground" Then the COM
pany would get back to bed, or go up
sprinkle the ashes. A fire started in
those days meant ashes for everything
within reach, and several stories were
told by Chief Engineer Kicker of how
fires used to burn. One night a house
up on the north end of Washington
street got afire, and the wind blowing
strongly from the north drove the flames
until every house in reach was gone.
Aid was summoned from Hallowell, and
the old hand tub was taken down to
the river. but most of the company pro-
ceeded to get drunk and let the fire
burn. The old hand tub at its best,
couldn't throw stream over Is feet,
and tired out all the men in the city to
keep it going. One pair of horses used
to do all the fire work, and all the city's
work, besides. Those were the good
old times. but there have been SIS fires
in this city since March, the total loss
of which does not amount to $500. Some
people think they We're trif1ing for this
reason, but the real reason is that they
had no chance to get going before they
were stifted and drowned out. The eff
ficiency of a fire department ismeasured
not by the many, but by the few hours
it spends in fighting fires.
