with 50 gallon chemical engine at
tached. This wagon is supplied with
all the latest and modern fire fight
ING tools, such as hand chemical ma
chine, lanterns, torches, spike-pOles,
crow-bars, dOOr-Openers, two 15-fOOt
wall ladders, each to splice, also one
12-foot roof ladder with folding

with 150 feet of 21a inch water hose
and with 200 feet of chemical hose,
reducers are used whereby small
streams can be used when required.
The department has six of the lat
est designs in nOzzles, three of which
are carried on the combination wag-

latest design and is the same that
are useI in all our large cities, and
is considered the best and most mod

two horses. There is also in service
one two-hOrse hose wagon which is
supplied with 800 feet of fire hose,
two 14-fOOt ladders and with a full
supply Of wrenches, spanners, lam
