Porter Reveals Filing
Of Fire Defense Report
In Radio Speech

Installation of reservoirs at va
rious locations throughout the city
to insure an adequate water sup
ply in the event of such an emer-
gency as an air raid has been rec
commended 10 the Civil Protection
Committee and the District Com
missioners, Stephen T. Porter. chief
engineer of the District Fire De-
partment, revealed in a radio adj
dress yesterday afternoon.
Asked whether fire defense for
Washington in case of war had
been studied, Mr.. Porter said: I'VE
have compiled a comprehensive re-
port with recommendations for aux
Hilary fire protection during any
emergency, particularly with ref
erence to added man power, water
supply, special tools and appli-
anceS.
IF our water service were dis
rupted, we would be much in the
position of soldiers with eXcellerC
guns but no ammunition. Therefore
it has been recommended that res
ervoirs be installed at various To-
cations throughout the city, each to-
provide at least 100000 gallons of
water. If this recommendation is
carried out, you may be sure that
your Fire Department will have the
necessary ammunition for its never
ceasing fight against uncontrolled
fire in any emergency
Mr.. Porter, speaking over WJSV,
told of the show which the Inter-
national Association of Fire Fight
ers is sponsoring, through the Fire
mems Association of the District of
Columbia. for the benefit of de-
pendents of British firemen killed
or disabled in fighting incendiary
bombs. The show will be given in
Constitution Hall on June 7. Other
cities throughout the United States
anC Canada are putting on similar
benefits for the same cause.
The chief fire engineer said it had
been estimated unofficially that
about 1000 British firemen had
been killed in action.
DR.. Edwin R. Gookin, chief of the
Friendship Fire Association. an Or
ganization of business and profess
sional men interested in preventing
