Forty-eight years as fireman was

Fire Department, SO he is spending his
retirement in fire engine houses, asso-
ciating with the men whose language
he speaks.
"Yank" Sullivan, as he is affection
ately and popularity known, was retired
by the District Commissioners January
l, 1927, after he had reached the next
highest post in the department, that of
deputy fire chief. But the retirement
order did not end the veterans career

life he knew, was too strong to do that
And though "Yank" is no longer on the

Every day since his retirement year

to only one alarm, he fights half dozen
or more fires every day in a CONVERSE

"Yank" attached himself to No. 5 En-
CINE Company because it's the nearest
fire house to his Georgetown home, and
also because the old place holds many
fond memories for him. In the days
of the horse-drawn apparatus when the
veteran firefighter was battalion chief,
his fast stepping mare, which drew his
buggy to hundreds of fires, was quar-
tered in stall in No. Engine House.
While other firemen report for duty
at o'clock In the morning, "Yank" has
arbitrarily fixed his hour for reporting

TO an hour in order to see the Cleveland
Indians scalp the Washington Griffmen
at the American League Base Ball Park
The only fire alarm that has drawn
"Yank" away from his comfortable
chair at the engine house since he went
into official retirement occurred last
Winter. The alarm was turned in at
the Academy of Visitation on Thirty
Fifth street, and though the day was
cold and blustery, the f1remen could
not persuade him to remain in the en-
CINE house. AS soon as the alarm
sounded he leaped on the rear of the
engine almost simultaneously with the
driver and was off.
"Yank' is distinctly a fireman of the
old school. Modern firef1ghtng methods
and theories may be all right, he be-
lieves, but there is only one way to put
out fire, he says, and that is to pour
water on it.
"Yank' is rounding out rs years of
life, 48 of which he spent in the service
of the District Fire Department. His
appointment was made January 2, 1879.
