CHIEF STANTON ADVISES
ABOUT FIRE CALLS.
People Should Learn the Companies in
Their Section When Calling by TeIe-
phone-An Alarm Brings Quicker
Results and More Apparatus-Care
in Burning Leaves.

Chief Stanton of the fire department
stated on Wednesday that in view OF
the fact that the water in the reservoir
is at such a low point the people
should take every precaution to avoid
a fire. This can be done in being care
full when burning leaves to see that
they are away from all buildings, and
that such destruction should not be at
tempted during high wind.
In case there is fire, people should
not be backward about sending in an
alarm, and il they do not know how
they should learn as they can easily
be instructed. In case a telephone
alarm is sent in, which is often a quick
way of getting a company, care should
be taken to call the company nearest
to the place, and not the police station
or the central station, unless that is
the nearest one. When the central
station is called for some fire in the
outskirts, the call has to be sent from
there to one of the other companies,
and time could be saved by calling that
company directly.
An alarm Will bring more companies
than a telephone call. and by the pres"
emit arrangements two chemical COM
paries go TO nearly every call, so that
by getting there early it may be pos
sible to extinguish the blaze without
the use of water. The vital point is
TO get the department there as soon
as possible.
The chief has always had stations IN
mind for locating the fire engines
along the river front in case of fire,
and it has been seen that these points
are available now. in case the use of
much water is required. It takes few
minutes for the engines to get into
action, however, and until they do city
water will be used only as occasion de-
mands. The city has but two engines,
and their capacity is limited, but ev
erything possible is being done to
avoid a bad fire. and the help of the
citizens along this line will count for
much. The chief believes that if the
department was equipped with auto
apparatus now the water would not
figure so extensively in the present sit
uation as the quick response which
could be made would permit q large
per cent. of the fires being extinguish-
ed with chemical.
The water pressure is greatly reduc-
ed by the low water at the reservoir.
so that the pressure on the hilltops is
very small at the present time. A
quick call to the department is there
fore imperative to assist in the check
ing of a fire. as a few minutes work
at the start will save hours of work
after the blaze gets to going.
