Brief Resume.
The total fire loss this year is less than one-third of that of last year, due perhaps, not wholly but in part, to the very strong movement towards fire prevention.
The loss during the first four months was more than one- half the total loss of the year as is shown by the following table giving the losses by months :-

Children playing with matches have again contributed largely towards the fire loss of the year. This cause of fires can and should be stopped ; parents take every precaution to keep from the child every ordinary thing about the home that might injure him, but criminally leave lying about matches that can and do cause painful and not infrequently fatal injuries as well as the destruction of the home.
Careless smokers contributed to one-sixth of the total loss for theyear; how much more of the loss from the un- known causes is due to this class of incendiaries is hard to estimate. All mercantile establishments should prohibit smoking on the premises and enforce it.
Defective chimneys and ashes in wooden receptacles are an ever present source of danger, and effective ordinances should be enacted to eliminate this class of fires.
380
ANNUAL REPORTS.
The number of false alarms has doubled over the previ- ous year, with no known reason or excuse therefor. It is true that some of these alarms are sounded by irresponsible chil- dren, and their parents should be held strictly accountable for same; but those sounded by criminals, for such they are, should have every effort put forth to apprehend them and be prosecuted to the full extent of the law.
Early in the year a new running card was compiled and a niew disposition of the apparatus was made so that at every alarm there shall be two engines, one ladder truck and at least two combination hose and chemical engines; on all schoolhouse boxes there will be two ladder trucks. This ar- rangement brings to every alarm sufficient apparatus to handle any ordinary fire.
In July a contract was made with the Ahrens-Fox Fire Engine Company of Cincinnati, Ohio, to furnish a chassis, the fitting up, equipping and finishing to be done in the depart- ment's machine shop, when completed to be assigned to the Marshall street station at Winter Hill. This piece of appara- tus should have been in service not later than November 1st, but owing to labor troubles at the factory in Cincinnati, de- livery was not made until December 21st, thereby throwing forward into the coming year its completion and installation.
Late in the year a Cadillac roadster was purchased for the first assistant chief, thereby removing the last horse from the Central Fire station; with the installation of the new motor combination at the Marshall street station at Winter Hill, four of the eight stations will be fully motorized.
The very foundation upon which the fire department stands is the fire alarm. This branch of the service is being completely revolutionized by the abandonment of the old sys- tem, which has been in service practically twenty years, and the installation of the best known apparatus, which is the last word of perfection of up-to-date systems; furthermore it is to be removed from its present location of hazardous ex- posure to a thoroughly constructed and equipped fireproof building, thereby insuring to us for all time a safe and sure fire alarm.
Recommendations.
The fire department is rapidly approaching its maximum strength and efficiency ; as has been said, the apparatus in four of the eight stations has been completely motorized with the best class of equipment obtainable; when the department is fully motorized, which should be done as rapidly as the finances of city will allow, we will have a department of the greatest efficiency maintained at the minimum of expense, as the records of the department show by comparison that
381
CHIEF ENGINEER FIRE DEPARTMENT.
motor-driven machines cost one-half to two-thirds less to maintain than the horse-drawn apparatus.
I recommend the immediate purchase of a motor pump- ing engine for Engine No. 2 station, corner Broadway and Cross street, to replace the horse-drawn steam fire engine that has been in service more than twenty-five years, being of insufficient capacity and of an obsolete type; this change would release five horses.
The many changes in and the instability of the insurance rates this year calls for a thorough and complete investiga- tion ; I would suggest that the Board of Trade and the other civic bodies give this matter their immediate attention and inquire into the reasons therefor, inasmuch as the fire loss is so materially less, this department is so rapidly improving its efficiency with new fire alarm, new apparatus, enlargement of the permanent force and its building regulations relative to incombustible roof coverings and increased distances be- tween buildings of the "three decker" type.
In Conclusion.
The marked decrease in the fire loss and the reduction of alarms is an evidence of the willingness of the people of Somerville to subscribe to the new fire prevention regula- tions ; fire prevention is hardly more than in the experimental stage, but the results thus far have been so encouraging that the problem of teaching the public its responsibility is not so great a one as was anticipated.
Not the least of praise is due to the officers and members of the department for their vigilance and promptness in the performance of their duties and I wish to thank them for their co-operation; I also desire to express my appreciation and thanks to his Honor, the Mayor, and the Board of Al- dermen for their courtesy and confidence.
Respectfully submitted, SEWALL M. RICH, Chief Engineer.
