In almost every instance these
are grass fires and in several cases
the prompt arrival of the engines
has quickly subdued what might
have resulted in a dangerous fire,
had the flames been allowed to

As it was. the prompt response
the apparatus has in every case
made enabled the department to
promptly subdue the flames and
there was very little damage
caused. said Chief Harry Baker.
