That Tonopah has one OF the most effective fire fighting departments
anywhere is the expressed opinion Of not only the people of this city but
the stranger in our midst. On all sides yesterday at the fire in the Car
son hotel which was in imminent danger Of entire destruction. a heard
favorable comment on the way which the citizens worked to subd q
the flames. Under the direction Of Fire Chief George Swasey the vol
unteers worked like an immense machine, never slipping a cog and fight
ing the flames in a systematic manner. The alarm was turned in from
half a dozen different points by phone and it was also announced by the
whistle of the Jim Butler mine. No sooner had the whistle sound d
when the volunteers dropped their work and rushed to the place where
their respective nose carts were located and Immediately proceeded TO
the fire, showing that the work OF perfect organization is being RAPIDLY
fulfilled. Too much credit cannot be given George swasey and Charles
coble, president Of the volunteer FIRE department, for bringing the d.
partment up to its present high standard.
