In St Petersburg the arrangement OF
fire alarms is rather peculiar and de-
cidedly unique, and the fire alarm tele-
graph is an unknown thing. Instead a
fireman Is at all times La the tower OF
the city hall. and he watches the sur.
rounding city to catch the first glimpse
of a fire. When a fire is discovered
during the day, he runs up black balls
on the top of the tower as signals; at
night red lanterns are used. The NUN
Der OF the balls or lanterns shows the
district or ward In which the fire is
located. says writer on Foreign Fire
Fighters in Cosmopolitan. As soon
as the signal is seen by the man on
duty at the engine house he rings a
bell outside. which calls together the
members OF the company, who may be
scattered over a couple of blocks. This
method is not conducive to quick time
in reaching the scene, and from twenty
minutes to half an hour is good work
unless the fire happens to be near an
engine house.
