ANNUAL REPORT
OF THE
Chief Engineer of the Fire Department
OF THE
CITY OF NEWBURYPORT
FOR THE YEAR 1897.
REPORT.
To His Honor the Mayor and Gentlemen of the City Council:
In compliance with the requirements of Section 12 of the rules and regulations governing the fire de- partment of the city I herewith submit to you my third annual report of the condition and work per- formed by this department for the year ending De- cember 31, 1897, together with a list of members with their rank, age, residence and occupation, loca- tion of fire alarm boxes, a statement of receipts and expenditures, fires and alarms, losses and insurance as near as could be ascertained, and such suggestions as I think will be necessary for the good of the de- partment. The department is in fine condition and the force under good discipline. The members have been prompt in responding to alarms and by their quick work have prevented what might have been more serious fires.
The members of the department have been very fortunate during the year as regards accidents.
214
ANNUAL REPORTS.
FORCE OF THE DEPARTMENT.
The force of the department consists of one chief, three as- sistants, one permanent man and eighty call men.
APPARATUS.
The apparatus consists of three second class Amoskeag steam fire engines fully equipped, five hose wagons, two hook and lad- der trucks (one in commission and one in reserve) one supply wagon and one four-wheeled hose reel, all in good repair.
HOUSES.
The houses of the department are all in good repair with the exception of hose seven's.
HORSES.
We have one pair of horses hired which I believe has been a great help to the department and I should recommend to still continue with them.
HARNESSES.
There are four sets of double and six single harnesses all in good repair.
HOSE.
There are 9,500 feet of 21/2 inch cotton rubber-lined hose in the department, most of which is in good condition, but I should. recommend the purchase of 500 feet to replace that which has been sold and worn out the last year.
WATER SUPPLY.
The water supply from the hydrants remains the same as last year, but with our other sources of supply I feel assured that we have a sufficient quantity for any emergency.
215
CHIEF ENGINEER.
HYDRANTS.
We have about one hundred and seventy hydrants, most of which are in good condition.
RESERVOIRS.
We have seventeen reservoirs fed from Frog pond, which have never failed to give a good supply.
FIRE ALARM.
The fire alarm is in good condition, never having failed to re- spond correctly to the box pulled. Two new boxes have been added to the system this year and I would recommend the addi- tion of more. The committee have voted to adopt the storage system which I believe is a wise conclusion, both for economy and convenience.
