Winslow, Arizona,
July 18th. 1926.

July 5th, 1926.
Editor WinslOw Mail
Your editorial in last issue of the
Mail was no doubt very timely. No
doubt the Winslow fire fighting
equipment is inadequate and some
what obsolete. But 1 feel that if
we had little better understand
ing between the city and the rail-
road fire departments and with the
power house engineers we could
make a great deal more prompt
and effective use of what we have.
The normal pressure in the wa
ter mains varies from Is to 25
pounds, depending on the height of
water in the tanks. This of course
is totally inadequate for fire pres
sure and the only way to secure
pressure in case of fire is to put
our pumps in operation at the
power house. And the only way to
get these pumps in operation is for
the engineer on duty to be notified
to put it on. An alarm must be
turned in from a call box or the
engineer notified by telephone
They have a call box and also
telephone at the quarters of the
city fire department but in case of
neither fire that destroyed the
O'Hara house or the fire at sos
West Sd ST, last Saturday, was an
alarm turned in nor was the engi-
neer notified by telephone until I
became aware of the fire and noti-
fled him myself. The O'Hara house
was practically destroyed before I
knew of it. l went then immediate
ly to my telephone and called up
the roundhouse and asked the clerk
to tell the engineer to start the fire
pump at once with full fire pres
sure, which was done. If l had
not called up myself the engineer
probably never would have been
notified to start the pump.
In the case of the fire Saturday I
happened to be driving on I'd ST.,
on my way to the roundhouse when
I saw the fire and heard the city
fire truck going to it, I stepped
on gas and hurried to the power
house and got the fire pump going
with rs pounds pressure. In this
case no alarm was ever turned in
or the engineer otherwise notified
to put on fire pressure.
Now I will make the following
suggestions for future procedure
in case of fire in town AS soon as
the city department become aware
of fire if they want the siren
blown and the Santa Fe department
called out they should at once turn
in a call from their box (No. 34).
If they merely want fire pressure
on the mains they should at once
call telephone No. 161 and ask that
the power house engineer be noti-
fled to start the fire pump. I think
if this is done there will be very
little reason for complaint of lack
of promptness in getting pressure
on the mains. We can have the
pressure on within 8 minutes of
the time we are notified. Our
pump is now set to maintain
pressure of Is pounds which is all
or more than the mains will stand.
Respectfully,
w. G. CAMP,
