VOLUNTEERS F0U HIT
KlESGE FIRE WELL

The Wilmington Fire Department de-
mics that they We're i'm any way lax at
the recent $4,000 krege store fire. They
say that the fire underwriters cOngratu-
lated the chief Of the fire department
after the fire. saying that the vOlun-
teers had done good work. They add
that the cOnilagration only demonstrates
the need Of a Bureau Of Fire Preven-
ton. and they deny that there is any
mercenary motive in their fayoring this
idea.
These facts came out at the meeting
OF the executive committee Of the VIII
mlngton Fire Department, in the hall OF
the Water Witch Company last night.
A number OF ideas were put into a
draft, and Will be presented TO the
Street and Sewer Department within a
short time, for approval. These sug-
gestlOns were written down after care
ful consideration and considerable dis
cussion. In their opinion. if these new
suggestions arc acted upon Wilmington
properly owners will be better protected
in the future.
Speaking Of the Kresge fire. NJ. f.
Cannon, president Of the executive
board said that II was n good example
parlment was anxious TO see corrected
and which prompted their. desire for
prevention bureau. After the fire, he
stated, the chief was hunted up by "a
FIRE insurance underwater who had
been inspecting the building, and con-
graduated him on the mems good work.
He said the water which got into the
Crosby and IIll building and did con-
siderable damage 10 stock, was not
from. the fire companies - cams. but
from Crosby and Hill Company's auto
matte fire extingulshers, that when the
iiremcn asked the Walchmen in the
building how, or where, TO turn the
water or from the sprinkler system, ne
said hc did not know how TO shut it
of. as he didn't know how to work the
shut-off valve.
I'VE are willing said Mr.. Cannon,
so take the responsibility for our mis-
takes and any merited criticism, but
think tile public should be fair. We
Keep our equipment in flrst=class con-
dition. and make repairs as quickly as
possible, when necessary, so as to be |
ready always for instant action when |
the alarm rings We keep our eXpendi- |
lures within the appropriations, and |
will serve the public to the best Of our /
ability as long as we have a volunteer |
fire department, and when the city de- |
cides TO have a paid department we will |
turn everything over to them without |
charge. We feel that unjust criticism |
of our efforts TO have Council create a /
prevention bureau hinder the consum
nation Of such a bureau. 1t hurts us,
and the publc's welfare"
