RECOMMENDATIONS


I strongly urge the adoption of a Fire Prevention Ordin- ance, as proposed by the National Board of Fire Underwriters, as may be found useful to our city.


The requirements of this suggested Ordinance are presented as minimum requirements for safety.


A number of Cities and Towns have adopted this suggested Fire Prevention Ordinance in whole or in part; others have adopted ordinances with provisions generally corresponding to those given.


It is recommended that one (1) new pumping engine be purchased to replace the pumper now in service at Engine Co. No. 2, Broadway and Cross Stret.


The pumper now in service was purchased June 16, 1916. The running gear is old and worn. The two wheel brakes are not sufficient for safety and they are continually getting out of adjustment. The apparatus is obsolete, and it is very diffi- cult to obtain parts for repair. Quite often this pumper fails to start or does not arrive at the fire.


364


ANNUAL REPORTS


The purchase of a new aerial ladder truck is recommended to replace Ladder Truck No. 3 located at Teele Square.


The ladder truck now in service was purchased March 18, 1924, and it is known as a City Service Tiller Truck. It is mounted on four (4) wheels, and the rear wheels are used for traction and steering by use of a tiller. This truck is obso- lete, it is unsafe on the road, and parts for repair are practi- cally impossible to get.


A dependable ladder truck is needed for the Teele Square section very badly. When a long train is moving over the Lexington Branch of the Boston & Maine Railroad no fire ap- paratus can pass over these tracks from Lowell Street to be- vond the Cambridge line. For this reason alone it is imperative that a new ladder truck be purchased immediately.


A plan should be immediately adopted and become effective now wherein one or two pieces of fire apparatus is purchased each year. As there are twenty-five pieces of fire apparatus in service it is obvious that the number of years required to re- place our apparatus under this plan would be considerable.


The efficiency of response and protection of life and property is sometimes seriously affected by the failure of the older apparatus to respond or perform its work propertly in an emergency.


Some of our fire stations are in need of replacement, and some need a complete renovation. In some cases the buildings are so antiquated that the cost of maintenance and upkeep is prohibitive from an economical standpoint. This work should be done as soon as materials and labor are available.


Conclusion


In concluding my report I wish to state that I fully recog- nize the support and confidence accorded me, the past year, by His Honor the Mayor and the Honorable Board of Aldermen. 1 wish also, to take this opportunity to thank the Officers and Members of the Fire Department and the Members of the Aux- iliary Fire Department for their faithfulness and efficiency.


Respectfully submitted
