REPORT OF THE ENGINEERS OF THE WAKEFIELD FIRE DEPARTMENT
TO THE HONORABLE BOARD OF SELECTMEN :
The annual report of the Board of Fire Engineers is herewith presented, giving the records of fires that have occurred during the year ending Dec. 31, 1911. The financial report, showing receipts and expenditures, will be found in the auditors' report.
THE DEPARTMENT
The department consists of a chief engineer, two assistant en- gineers, five permanent men and forty-seven call men. The ap- paratus remains the same as last year, and consists of one Amos- keag engine, one Silsby Engine (relief ), a combination hose and chemical wagon, a hook and ladder truck, a supply wagon, an auto hose wagon (owned by the Volunteer Library Association ), and two hose wagons. There is also a hose reel at the town farm. There are eight horses in service, six of which are in good condi- tion ; the other two in fair condition. All the hose has been tested. 2000 feet of hose has been added during the year, this amount being necessary owing to the loss incurred at the Cutler fire, and to re-place worn-out hose.
48
FINANCES
As shown in the auditors' report, there is a decrease in the earnings of the department, owing to the fact that the streets have been oiled instead of watered. The increase in expendi- tures is due to the purchase of 2000 feet of hose at a cost of $1274, as noted above. All bills have been paid and there is an unexpended balance of $133.23.
FIRES
During the year the department has responded to 129 alarms of fire, the largest number in the history of the town. The number ber of still alarms shows that the residents of the town are becom- ing educated to the fact that instead of ringing in box alarms for small fires, a telephone call or message will bring the necessary assistance.
The most disastrous fire of the year occurred July 6, when the Cutler block was totally destroyed and the Armory, Miller Piano Factory, Town Hall and other adjacent buildings considerably damaged. Valuable assistance at this fire was rendered by the fire departments of Melrose, Stoneham, Reading and Woburn.
RECORD OF FIRES
