Fire Chief William E. Markwith, of
East Orange, has completed a plan for
the protection of school children in
case of fire, which will soon be adopted
in that city and other municipalities.
1.-THE chief recommends h a in each
school two fire companies composed of
boys be formed. His recommendation
n full is as follows:
I'm buildings such as we are now con-
sidering-public n private schools,
orphan homes. houses of refuge, houses
of correction, reformatories and the
J like-there should be the ordinary fire.
/ fighting devices, such as hand ex-
! tinguishers, in each room and corridor,
4 stand pipe with hose connection on
very floor, and a special fire alarm box
eApnected with the city arm system,
~ a great benefit may accrue to the
-. 'dren themselves by organizing the
~ r ones into a company as fire fight
opueand as a salvage corps.
els Boys trained as 1 have indicated
uld be a great asset to any com
munity in case of a fire like that at
~Collingwood, and as men they would be
proof against a foolish stampede.
Fire drills in. charge of teachers lave
saved hundreds of lives; supplemented
by well-drilled companies such as 1
have mentioned many more might have
been rescued and immense property
values saved.
Some definite suggestions may not
be out of place:
No. 1. That a ~40-gallon tank be
mounted upon fou wheels with all the
equipments, and 200 feet of %-inch
hose, same to be housed in a small
building attached to the school prop
erty to be called fire station No, u n
so on, in accordance with the name of
the local schools.
mo. 2. That about twenty-five (25)
of the larger boys be secured from the
upper classes of the schools, and that
they be organized into companies and
from the members of the companies a
foreman and an assistant foreman be
appointed by the teachers of the sew
eral schools, or in the higher grades be
elected by the pupils.
mo. 3. That there be two (2) COM
panies formed in each school, one
! known as Chemical Company No. l,
4 and one as Protection Company No. 2,
land each company to drill to their sta
ftion. The Chemical Company to take
scharge of the chemicals, and Company
mo. 2 to see that all doors are safely
open and to drill in other ways for the
{ protection of life and salvage of prop
] frty.
{ mo. 4. That the two CD companies
-4rill not less than once a week, and the
Chief of the fire department n one of
Che fireman call at the several schools
about every six CO. weeks, or by notice
.Sfrom the School Board, to see that the
tanks and chemicals are kept in proper
shape, and to advise and assist in drill
ing the companies"
