CHIEF LANG PUTS OUT FIRE
only Uses Half His Department., but
Has No Trouble Beating
the Flames.

The quiet and peace of the nelghborhood

Thursday afternoon by the cries OF a man
Smoke was issuing from one corner of
barn located in the vicinity.
Would no one save Il?
Yes. In the building less than half
block away, which the city has rented for
the purpose of housing the volunteer fire
department, sat Otto Lang, who only last
Monday night received his appointment
from the Board OF Fire and Police Com
missioners as custodian of the building
and Of the fire apparatus to be placed
therein.
The eagle eye of Otto Lang, custodian,
chief captain OF fire engines, hose trucks,
chemicals, water towers and everything
else his eagle eye saw the smoke issuing
from the barn.
chief Lang ordered out half of his de-
partment, consisting OF two buckets. leav-
ing the other two in the fire barn in case
1t became necessary to send in a second
call. In thirty second Chief Lang and the
two buckets were upon the scene and fir
teen seconds later water was being poured
upon the blaze.
II was eXtinguished before the barn was
badly damaged. Chief Lang went proudly
back to his station, followed by tt-s ad-
