Fire Building In Burlington, la, Is a
Unique Structure.
Burlington. Ia, is known far and
wide for Its hills. 1t can be said that
the city is located on seven hills. Con-
sequently in the early days. when the
streets were still unpayed, 1t became
necessity for fire protection to have
hose stations located in the residence
parts. While the incoming of the auto
truck may in measure make possible
n reduction in the number OF such sta
tions. it will never be possible TO cen
tralize all in one. The main line of the
Chicago. burlington and Quincy rail
road passes through the heart of the
city, and all street crossings except one
are at grade; hence. from the stand
point Of fire protection. the number OF
hose stations should never be greatly
reduced. 1t was with this conclusion
In mind that the city council came TO
the decision that hose station No.
should be permanent structure.
AT about the same time the matter
OF repaving certain streets of the busi.
ness section was decided upon. Two
