LAUNCH FIRE BOAT
TO PROTECT FLEET
Alaska Packers Take Steps to
Guard Idle Vessels in
Estuary From Flames

ALAMEDA, Sept. 24.-In order to
protect from fire its large fleet of sal
mon carriers that is laid up every win
ter in the estuary, the Alaska packers
association has had fire tug construct
ed. The boat was built by the United
from the yards of that plant yesterday.
The new fire fighter will be known as
the Phoenix. The tug is equipped
with $50 horsepower engine and
strong pumps.
Neither this city nor Oakland has a
f1reboat to afford protection to ship
ping in the harbor The management
of the Alaska packers association de-
cided that it could not afford to run
any further risk k.of damage to its ves-
sells and therefore had private fire
tug constructed. The association had
one of its vessels destroyed by fire in
1905.
There are now five of the packers
vessels in the estuary and the idle fleet
will be increased steadily as the sal
mon packets return from the northern
canneries and go out of commission
until the fishing season opens again
next spring.
The packing association has en-
larged its realty holdings on the water
front by purchasing a strip of land
running from the north end of Paru
street to Buena Vista avenue. The
estuary off the associations wharf and
yards is being dredged to accommodate
the big ships of the commercial fleet
