Bremen Sleep With Boots On As Alarms Pour In

ly enough sleep, and of course this also applies to many of the priVates. Take for instance Chief Thomas r. Cavanaugh, and his two assistants, Acting Deputy Chief Martin J. Campion and Acting Deputy Chief Stevens J. Bloomfield. The tickers in their homes have been calling them from their rest at all hours of the night.
 Little Gene Leggc . private at- tached to the Fire Marshal's office, and his "Side kick" Private JerC- Griffin, have been routed from their beds, along with the others of the department. Their work is to inVes- tigate the first stages of the fire, and seek the proper information that must always be obtained when fire occurs. Both are well known war veterans, and thoroughly un- derstand the duties assigned them by reason of their vast military ex- perience.
 Take tho fire that illuminated the sky for miles around up OakVille way Wedndesday night. The com panies assigned to this alarm by Headquarters were Engine 8 of Bunker Hill, Engine 10 of Fire Headquarters, and Truck of East Main street. Lieut.. Walter Lanout was in charge of Engine Q, Lieut., James Cavanaugh had charge of Engine 10, and Lieut.. Crean was in command of Truck No. Acting Deputy Chief Campion was in di- rect charge of the fire by assign ment from Chief Cavanaugh. The record shows that they were on duty all night; 1900 feet of 2h inch hose was laid with 3 and four hours of pumping by the two en. zines there The heat was so in. tense at the outset that the faces arms and shoulders of Privates Wm. Henderson and Seth Frederickson of Engine 8 were blistered; others who suffered burns etc. were Private Pat rick Lynch, John Murphy, and Thos. Mcdonald, of Engine 10.
