JUNEAU FIRE CHIEF ADDRESSES CHAMBER

Miuard SiID. Juneau Fire Chief and Fire Marshal for many years and, in private life Superintendent of the Juneau Water Company, was the guest speaker at the weekly luncheon meeting of the Chamber of Commerce Monday noon. He spoke on fire. it's control and steps the community can take to combat it. A long time Alaskan, cOnYersant with fire problems of the Alaskan towns, Chief Mill stressed that the average Alaska building code. if properly enforced, usually will meet the needs of a community. Ha suggested a code alarm for Wran- gell in line with the Juneau sys- tenn, but perhaps not as elaborate where the alarm when sounded gives the zone location of the fire, thus enabling volunteer firemen to go immediately to the scene of the fire rather than to the fire hall. He suggested having two or three men living at the fire hall who would be immediately available to take out the equipment, coupled with a code alarm system. this would enable equipment and the volunteers from over town to meet at the scene of the fire.
 Chief Mill spent several days in town offering advice and sugges- tions to city officials in connection with fire prevention problems. He came down at the request of the Juneau Chamber of Commerce which was offering assistance to the fire-stricken town. The Alaska Coastal furnished his transporta- tion and the Baranof Hotel in Ju- neau. paid his expenses.
 Other out-of-town guests at the Chamber luncheon were Hans Berg and his son, Cliff, widely known Juneau contractors, who were here looking over the Pats Creek road with the idea of submitting a bid on the project.
