Engineers' Report.


TO THE HONORABLE BOARD OF SELECTMEN :


GENTLEMEN-The Board of Fire Engineers herewith present their annual report, containing the record of the fires attended by


50


the department, for the year ending December 31, 1910, and such other matter as they consider may be of interest to the town.


It will be seen that the number of alarms have greatly exceeded those of any previous year, especially in the number of still alarms. This shows that our citizens are becoming educated to the fact that a telephone call or sending word to the fire station for chimney or other small fires, instead of sending in a bell alarm, will accomplish the same result.


APPARATUS AND HORSES


The number of pieces of apparatus and horses are the same as last year, the only change being that at the annual town meeting the town voted to purchase the property owned by the Green- wood Library Association.


All the apparatus and horses are in good condition.


HOSE


There is in the department 5,700 feet of hose in good condi- tion and 1,200 feet that must be re-lined this year.


During the year we have purchased 1000 feet of hose from the Boston Belting Co. at 65 cents per foot, using $375 appropriated for that purpose at the spring meeting, and taking the balance from our regular appropriation, the ffirm allowing a 2 per cent. discount. The total cost was $637. All the hose has been tested.


RECORD OF FIRES


The following are the alarms responded to during the year, the total being the largest in the history of the town. There were 35 box alarms and 65 still alarms, making a total of 100, as follows :


Monday, Jan. 3. Box 35, 10.32 a. m. Small fire in house rear of 11 Center street, owned by John Flanley heirs. Loss small. Caused by children.


Wednesday, Jan. 5. Box 35, 10.25 a. m. Cobbler shop, 383 Main street. Caused by kerosene stove. Loss small.
