STATE LAW
A State Law was enacted regulating the passage of Fire Apparatus responding to fires. The law requires the driver of a vehicle to drive to the right hand curb and stop until the apparatus has passed. To remain at a distance of (300) feet behind apparatus and restricting the parking of a vehicle within (600) feet of a fire.
The City Service ladder truck now in service in the Braintree Fire Department was purchased in the year of 1923. The truck in general has given considerable trouble in the last 4 years and the ladders are unsafe for fire and rescue work, therefore: I recommend the purchase of a 65 foot Service Aerial ladder truck to replace the City Service ladder truck now in service.
In conclusion : I wish to extend my thanks to the Honorable Board of Selectmen, to the members of the Finance Committee, and to the Police Department for their co-operation and interest in the welfare of the Department.
To all others that have volunteered their services or assisted the Department in any manner. The officers and members of the Depart- ment have my commendation and sincere thanks for the efficient and faithful manner in which they have performed their duties.
Respectfully submitted, FRED A. TENNEY, Chief of Fire Department.
