Waterbury has reason to feel proud
of her fire company, judging from the
work done at the rec9nt fire at Rich
boys" judging from reports, were
1.-THE whole thing They left town
with the hand engine Seth Warner, 4"
and 200 feet of hose. The Richmond
fire company took water from the con-
densed milk factory dam and forced
it to the Waterbury engine and the
boys did the rest The hosemen were
stationed in narrow driveway and
were covered with blankets, which
were constantly kept wet to keep
them from burning. The men stayed
at their posts until the fire was under
control, and, if it had not been for the
Waterbury company, the Richmond
loss would have been much greater.
A prominent State paper gives the en-
tire credit to another fire company,
but the facts are that the good work
| done is largely due to the Waterbury
company Stephen Guptil was in
charge of the men and is to be con-
graduated on his good Judgment in
handling them.
