until September 2, 1905, he would have
completed thirty-one years continuous
service in the ranks of the Milwaukee
firefighters. He remained pipeman
for the first three years of his service,
when he was advanced to the position
Of first pipeman, February /, 1877. In
1873, one year later, he became fore
man, serving in that capacity for five
years. Finally, in 1888, Chief James
Foley appointed him second assistant
chief, in which position he acted until
the death of First Assistant Riemer,
when he was made first assistant
chief, having been appointed head en-
gineer of the department February z,
1903.
At Many Serious Fires.
Though he spoke modestly of his
length Of service, Chief Meminger had
figured in all of the great fires which
have been recorded in the history of
Milwaukee. During the Newhall
house fire, he was in service as cap
tain of engine company No. 1. His
company was the first TO reach the
scene of the conf1agration and figured
prominently during the whole of the
horrible series of events which accom-
panied the destruction of the historic
structure He served in the third ward
fire as second assistant chief. When
the Davidson thaater burned in 1894
he was off duty, having been injured
in the burning of the West Book and
Stationery company the day before. 1t
was the theater fire that proved SO dis
lstrous to the department, Third AS
sistant Chief Jansen and nearly one
dozen Of the fremen being killed by
the caving of the roof of the building.
These were about the only eXcep-
tons to the list, however. Chief Mem
myers first big fire came a few
months after his appointment, when
the Boston store and elevators of the
American Mailing company were dam
aged by fire within a few hours time.
Two general alarms were turned in
within six hours lapse Of time. the
only time sucn ali occurrence has been
noted IN the annals of the fire depart
ment. On September 2, 1904, Chief
Meminger celebrated his thirtieth an
anniversary as a member of the de-
partment. On that occasion he was
presented with a gold and diamond
niversary as member of the de-
partment.
Saw the Chicago Fire.
Chief Meminger was born in Octo-
Der, 1855. Before joining the depart
ment he served for a time as fireman
On small lake vessels. He was in
Chicago harDor with a small tug at
the time the city was swept by flames,
and witnessed the blaze. 1t was not
long after this that he came to Mil
