City's New
Fire Truck
A "Quiint"

at Fire Station No. / on Marloes
ave., Tuesday morning. The sign
ing-out platoon fingered, to join
the on-duty men. They kept their
ears cooked and their eyes toward
Marloes ave. They were awaiting
the arrival of the new fire truck.
And then, there it was an
American LaFrance beauty, 43 feet
seven inches long, known among
firemen as "the quint." 1t carries
this title, explains Fire Chief
Fred Lange, because of its five
special service features, all
wrapped up in one-truck pack
age.
Chief Lange points them out.
For instance:
/. It's 100-foot aerial automatic
ladder, designed to also carry a
nozzle and serve as water tower
when necessary. With this it can
reach the high, high buildings.
2. Its pumper capable Of pump
ing 1000 gallons of water min
ute.
3. It's 1000 feet of 21a Inch hose
carrying capacity.
4. It's booster pump with 15O-
gallon tank.
5. It's 220 feet of shorter, hand
operated ladders.
Under that sleek hood is a 330-
horsepower engine. And tucked in
here and there, all very ship
shape are the tools. everything
possibly needed.
The truck, purchased at a cost
of $4,000, replaces the 2O-year-old
39-foot truck now at the station.
This truck will be transferred to
Station No. 2 on Shaw ave-, and
the truck there now will De kept
as a reserve.
This years municipal budget
carries an appropriation to cover
this newest fire safety equipment
expenditure.
Chief Lange points out that the
National Board of Fire Under
writer's recommends replacement
of equipment after 20 years and
the 39er had its 10th birthday this
past September.
The truck was delivered via the
Erie Railroad and Chief Lange
was down at the Scranton rd. sta
ton before 900 a. m. Tuesday to
see the truck unloaded. There, also
was Ed Graham, Cleveland COM
pany representative who will teach
the six firemen who will drive the
truck. Despite its much longer
length, the new equipment turns
on much smaller radius, it is
stated.
Mr.. Graham was scheduled to
give the city its acceptance test
Wednesday morning at the Shaker
Heights Warrensville Center-Van
Aiken blvd. station. This station
is equipped for this purpose and
all such tests in this area are Civ
en- there, said Chief Lange.
One question bothering the fire
department is the parking of the
truck in the station. Scarcely an
inch remains between bumper and
door. But the revamping construc-
ton now underway at City Hall
calls for an extension on the east
side of the station to correct this
shoe-horn procedure.
