Fire Chief w. H. Tamblyn in giving
Portland Heights its new, or rather

utilized some equipment that is q
relic Of earlier times, though still very
serviceable.
An old hand chemical engine with
two 8-gallon tanks. has been a prop
erty of the city fire department fol
many years, though not a part ol
the equipment used now. Tamblyn
was moved to offer the engine to
Portland Heights residents because oi

quenching Of which the fire depart
ment could be Of no assistance. the
steep ascent to the Heights precludine
any attempt to run the fire engines
there. Tamblyn's offer was accepted
thankfully and he charged the tanks
with fluid befofe sending the old en-
gine out.
