ANNUAL REPORT
OF THE
CHIEF ENGINEER
OF THE
FIRE DEPARTMENT
OF THE
CITY OF WORCESTER, MASS.
JANUARY 3, 1871.
REPORT
OF THE
Chief Engineer of Fire Department.
CHIEF ENGINEER'S OFFICE, r Worcester, Jan. 3, 1871.
To the City Council:
GENTLEMEN : In accordance with the provisions of the Ordinance under which the Fire Department was established, I respectfully submit for your consideration my Second An- nual Report, containing such information as will enable you to understand the wants and necessities of this organization, whose services are best appreciated when they have the least to do, whose efforts to save property from destruction by fire, often at the risk of life, are frequently more severely and un- justly criticized than any other services rendered the public. It seems to be almost forgotten that firemen are summoned to their work by the striking of a bell, or the blowing of a whistle, without any knowledge of the locality endangered, its surroundings, or the internal arrangement of the premises, with no opportunity to form plans, or make calculations, how it would be best to operate the protective force ; consequently, those in authority must form their judgment quickly and act vig- orously, trusting to the results accomplished, or the opinions of an anxious and sometimes excited crowd of spectators for the amount of approbation, or condemnation awarded them for their efforts. The Department at the present time is in good condition, the apparatus being in perfect order, the men well appointed and carefully organized, so as to render prompt and efficient service whenever required ; harmony of purpose and
4
REPORT OF THE CHIEF ENGINEER
unity of action existing among the men, and between the various companies. The policy adopted by the City Govern- ment two years ago, in bringing the department under the control and management of the City Council, and making it a permanent organization instead of expiring at the close of each municipal year, has become popular and the beneficial results admitted.
A new Engine House has been constructed on the corner of Beacon and Lagrange Streets, the past season, which will be ready for occupancy in the course of a few weeks, where it is intended to locate Steamer No. 2, equipped with a Hose Carriage, Horses, and Driver, which will afford the additional protection so much needed in the southern portion of the city. There has been placed in service during the past year a new Hook and Ladder Truck, carrying ladders of sufficient length to enable us to put water into the upper stories of our highest buildings from the outside, which supplies a want that has ex- isted for several years. I earnestly hope the government will see the importance of purchasing a pair of horses to be always in readiness to take this carriage promptly to fires : it is just as necessary as to have them for the steamers. The two drivers and six horses now in the constant employment of this depart- ment have been allowed, by the Highway Commissioner, for work on the streets, $1,994.48. I have received of John Barry for manure $56.67, which has been paid the City Treasurer, to which may be added $800 received of Jacob Hauff for the old Engine House at Lincoln Square.
At the commencement of the year, "Niagara " Engine (a hand machine) was placed at Quinsigamond under the care of a volunteer company that have manifested a lively interest in maintaining a good company, which adds greatly to the safety of property in that place. The past year has witnessed throughout the country many large and destructive fires, and while our city has not been exempt from such visitations the amount of property destroyed by fire cannot be regarded as very large. There have been thirty alarms of fire during the year, and all but one could be traced to a sufficient cause.
The amount of property destroyed by fire, as near as could
5
OF THE FIRE DEPARTMENT.
be estimated, was $70,640, nearly two thirds of which was lost in a single night by the burning of Loring & Blake's Organ Factory last March.
Most of the property burned was fully covered by insurance. The department consists of the same number of men, organ- ized into the same number of companies for the present year ; and as an evidence of the stability of the department, it is a pleasure to inform you that at the annual company elections held last month every Foreman was re-elected, with one ex- ception, and he does not retire from the service, but takes a place in the ranks of the company he has commanded the last five years; and further, the whole number of changes was never less at the commencement of a new year.
The department consists of the following companies, viz :-
3 Steamer companies, 12 men each, 36
5 Hose 66 66
50
2 Hook and Ladder companies, 20 men each, 40
I Hand Engine company, 40 men,
40
I 66 6 6 volunteer.
Drivers of Steamers, 2
Board of Engineers, 5
.
Total, 173
It will be necessary to furnish the department with some new leading hose this year. None was bought last year and after supplying the company at Quinsigamond, it made us rather short of the usual complement. I would therefore recommend the purchase of two thousand (2,000) feet at an early day.
I feel it my duty to again urge upon your attention the im- portance of the Fire-alarm Telegraph. Measures were taken late in the year, under the last administration to ascertain and report the expense. Enough has been done by them, to know it will cost all complete, and ready for use not over $15,000 ; an expenditure it seems to me the property owners would justify and approve. This system is in operation in nearly all the principal cities throughout the country, and in no single in- stance is there any difference of opinion in regard to its merits.
6
REPORT OF THE CHIEF ENGINEER.
In closing permit me to thank the city council for the cordial support they have given me in the administration of the affairs of this department, and especially the committee on the Fire Department for the interest and attention they have manifested in the details necessary to maintain this organization. I am also under obligations to the city Marshal and the force under his control for their assistance and co-operation at fires.
I am, respectfully, R. M. GOULD, Chief Engineer.
