FRESH AIR FOR FIREMEN.
Obtained Through Tube Extending
From Hose to Fireman.

In endeavoring TO extinguish fire, the
firemen are not bothered much with the
actual flames: it is the smoke that gives
them the most trouble The flames are
generally easily extinguished VIXEN they
can get close enough to them. In NEST
cases they cant-the smoke keeps them
back. Where the smoke is thick and
dense. the firemen can not get air, and
consequently are driven back from the
flames. If the pipeman who manipulates
the hose can be constantly supplied with
fresh air he can re adily train the water
on the flames and eXtinguish the fire.
How to get the fresh air to him when
the smoke interferes is problem when
seems TO have been solved in a very sim
pie manner by Detroit fireman. His
method, which he has patented l. shown
in the illustration. In combination with
the hose nozzle is a tube for supplying
air. This tube extends from the nozzle
