CITY FIREMEN
DREAD TEAMS
Horses And Wagons Standing
by the WaySlde Are Re-
garded as a Menace

Firemen are complaining OF the habit Of
drivers OF wagons In leaving their teams
standing along the street particularly
on the right-hand side OF streets leading
from engine or hose houses. Drivers OF
the fire companies say that wagons left
standing on tho wayslde constitute periis
20 the occupants of the engines, chemical
wagons and hose carriages going 20 fires.
They point out that the habit OF leaving
vehicles along the street Is not only dan
gerous 70 the iremen and their apparatus
but TO the wagons themselves.
A hose cart driver stated that 4, is Inn
possible TO prevent the engines. wagons
and carts OF the companies from swaying
when moving at a rapid rate and that
lif a vehicle we're struck in that way II
would practically mean its destruction
and probably very serious damage to the
hose cart or engine colliding with Il.
possibly attended with serious injury to
I the firemen.
The dread that nremen have OF obsta-
cies in the street is well known. The mad
race to the fire is always attended with
danger. Holes in the street may be en-
countered trolley cars that do not stor
in time may be met and so on. The fire.
men take all these things into consider
alton and thank their lucky star when
everything goes right and safe run has
been made.
Wagon drivers on the street are another
nightmare OF the drivers OF the engines
hose carts. chemical wagons and the bis
truck. Tho truck requires a large terri
tory for turning at the intersection oi
streets and even a considerable space
where it has to go around teams on the
street. The firemen point out that they
have the absolute right OF way over al
other trafic on the way to- "a fire and
that drivers OF wagons and carriages who
obstruct the passage OF the apparatus dc
SO AZ their own risk. Tesmsters unneces

gines. hose carts and otl.er firemen's ny

which they say they look for the co-opera
