Sully, Newforo and Frank D. Girolomo. Damage to building. $1,154 ; to contents, $500. Cause, overheated stove.
FALSE ALARMS have again contributed the greatest number ; alarms of this kind are all too numerous and not infrequently expensive; one such alarm from Box 332 in the latter part of the year caused damage to the fire apparatus amounting to more than $1,000. The local papers, through their editorials. have called attention to the seriousness of these criminal deeds, calling fire apparatus falsely to one part of the city when its service may be urgently needed in some other part to preserve and protect life and property. Persons, or those responsible for them, should be made to reimburse the city for the expense incurred.
CHILDREN PLAYING WITH MATCHES: twenty bell alarms have been recorded directly attributable to this cause, and the pitiful feature is that the loss of the lives of four children was the toll exacted from the thoughtless, negligent and careless parents leaving matches around the home where children may get them and destroy themselves and possibly the home. The Fire Chiefs of the State are urging the Legislature to enact a law prohibiting the use and sale of any match other than the scratch-on-the-box match; the passage of this bill will very materially reduce this class of fires and act as a reminder to the parents of the ever present danger of the combination of child and match.
DEFECTIVE CHIMNEYS cause many and expensive fires ; this class of fires is unnecessary inasmuch as if the chimneys are properly cared for as is the remainder of most of the dwellings there would be no occasion to call out the fire apparatus ; furthermore chimney fires are the most inaccessible being in the middle of the buildings and cased in, therefore requiring con- siderable damage to the interior of the house to extinguish.
Recommendations.
Immediate action should be taken to establish fire dis- tricts, this is of the utmost importance. The National Board of Fire Underwriters insist upon the creation of at least two such fire districts or fire barriers. Our city has imposed upon it an extra 5 cents insurance rate due to the conflagration haz- ard, so called, therefore it is necessary to comply with the im- posed condition if we ever expect to remove this additional insurance tax now imposed upon our citizens.
The department today consists of eleven pieces of motor- driven apparatus and eight horse-drawn; the operating ex- pense, for the past year, of the motor-driven has been $1,368, as against $3,745 for the horse-drawn. Full motorization of the entire department equipment at the earliest possible time
320
ANNUAL REPORTS.
should be effected not only because of the economic feature, but because of the more prompt, speedy and effective handling of fires. I again recommend, as in last year's report, the attach- ing of a tractor to Ladder 3 at Engine No. 2 Station, thereby removing all of the horses from this building; next in im- portance is the motorizing the Teele Square station; eight horses would be released by such action and a very great maintenance expense would thereby be saved.
Seven of the eight fire stations are in very good condi- tion, but that of Engine No. 4, at the corner of Grove street and Highland avenue, is very poor; the expense of fixing this building suitable for men and machinery is hard to estimate, in fact in my conference with the Building Commissioner, it is our opinion that the repairs and changes in this building, hav- ing been erected 44 years, would be very considerable and the results far from satisfactory. I am of the opinion that this building might be torn down and replaced with a modern build- ing, smaller, without hay-loft and stable, suitable for motor apparatus. The material in the present building would go far in the erection of the new one.
Fire prevention, its rules and regulations, their applica- tion and enforcement, although in many instances annoying and sometimes causing expense, has been a great factor in re- ducing useless and many times expensive fires ; its assistance in the extinguishment of fires is invaluable. The matter of safeguarding our school buildings against disastrous fires is all important ; in 1915 the building commissioner and myself were directed to make inspections and recommendations, in detail, of schoolhouse conditions ; after seven weeks of inspections and investigations we were of the opinion that the source of four- fifths of all the fires in this class of buildings was in the base- ment : we recommended the isolation of the basements from the remaining portions of the building by the erection of partitions protected by metal lath and cement plaster and fireproof spring closing doors so that neither fire nor smoke can find its way up, thereby making it possible for the scholars to make safer exit in event of fire; furthermore, the basements should be equipped with automatic sprinklers; a start has been made in this direction but the' completion of this work is remote: the danger is very great and ever present; this work should be done as speedily as possible.
In Conclusion.
In closing, I desire to express my sincere appreciation for the unfailing courtesy and confidence shown me by the Mayor-

and Board of Aldermen. I wish to commend the members of the department for their faithfulness, energy and efficiency in the performance of the arduous duties of an exceptionally hazardous calling.
