DANIELSON AND PUTNAM NEWS
DANIELsON

was taken out Sunday for a trial run. /
The machine worked sp1endidly and |
will be a fine addition to the local de-
partment.
Chief A P. Woodward, who evolved !
the idea of motorizing the old horse
drawn truck, was at the station Sun i
day morning assisting a half score |
willing members of the department !
in hanging up the truck and getting
II ready for it trial run.
For an expense of approximate
$500 the borough has a motorized hook
and ladder truck that is capable Of |
making it way to a fire at a speed or
50 miles an hour if necessary. Il
Caddy 81 that was picked up at
bargain price has been given a paint
ing treatment that has turned it cut
in orthodox fire department red fur
nishes the power for moving the lad
der truck. The rear wheels on the
FORMER jaddcS have beeil removed
and replaced with rubber tired wheels
that served their purpose admirably
The newly rugged piece of apparatus
has six wheels-four on the Caddy
chassis and the two rear wheels on
the ladder apparatus proper. The
rear wheels of the chassis are set I'M
der a sort of turntable that makes it
possible for the long truck to- make
without difficulty.
With the addition of this piece of ap-
paratus the Danielson fire department
may be considered as brought right up
to date. The ladders and other APP
paratus on the truck are in good COLI
dition. What has been done is to
Substitute dependable power for horse
power. It means greater speed in get
ting to fires-and speed in fighting
fires means smaller losses. Members
OF the fire department are delighted
with the success achieved in rigging
up the new truck, for such it may be
termed.
