FIRE COMPANIES.
There are four Fire Companies in the city, provided with as many Engines, named and numbered as follows :
PROTECTION FIRE COMP. No. 1-Engine house under Fire- mens' IIall
EAGLE FIRE COMP. NO. 2-Engine house, Fort near Gris- wold street.
WOLVERINE FIRE COMP. NO. 3-Engine house, Randolph st, near Berthelet Market.
LAFAYETTE FIRE COMP. NO. 4-Engine house cor Wayne and Larned sts.
91
APPENDIX.
Of the importance and benefit of these companies to the city, the inhabitants have often had abundant evidence. The promptitude with which those companies obey the call, when an alarm of fire is given, is proverbial among us ; and the zeal and devotion with which they sometimes risk their own lives, for the preservation of the lives and property of their fellow citizens, is beyond all praise.
