FIRE RECORD
FOR 1918

The loss sustained by fires during
the past year has been most crafty
Ing as compared with those of former
years. The Waterville fire depart
ment has responded to 80 box alarms
and IS still alarms. Many of the box
alarms have been needless and still
alarms have been for chimney and
grass fires. There cave been two
steamer calls sounded during the
year. The first. on January 4. at 4.05
\. NJ. for call from Augusta, at
which time a detail Of fircmen with
hose was sent. who actively assist
ed the firemen of Augusta in .lacing
under control the largest fire Angus
ia sustained during the year. The
second call was from Skowhegan on
March 3. the steamer being loaded
when word was received that the
services Of the firemen would not be
required.
On February 18th. from Box "a. the
alarm was sounded for a fire in the
Greek Block on Lockwood street, at
$50. which was a long and hard
light for the fircmen to place under
control
The largest property loss sustained
during the year was for a fire at the
Maine Central Car Shops in the mill
room, the alarm sounded at 5 O'Clock
on April 1st. Owing to lack Of hyd-
rants and water pressure. one Sec
,ion Of the shops was entirely con-
sumed.
The largest loss sustained for a
house fire was that on January q
for the residence occupied by Car
Pierce at lat College avenue, and
owned by DR.. Fish.
Much of the absence of disastrous
fires during the year is attributed to
the alertness Of citizens who durina
the period Of the war have been more
careful and the additional watchmen
at the various manufacturing plants
have no doubt added to the safety OF
the city.
Fire Chief w. w. Berry has made
many calls> upon the merchants anc
others and called their attention te
rubbish and waste material tina,
would easily have caused a seriou.

The merchants and others have
been prompt in removing the same
