ANNUAL REPORT
OF THE
Chief and Clerk of Fire Department.
NEWMARKET, N. H., Feb. 15, 1899.
TO THE TOWN OF NEWMARKET :
In compliance with the law requiring the Chief Engi- neer of the Fire Department to make an annual report to the town containing a list of all the apparatus used for the ex- tinguishment of fire, the condition of the same and the amount expended for repairs, the following report is respect- fully presented.
FORCE OF THE DEPARTMENT.
The regular force of the department consists of 46 offi- cers and men, as follows : A chief and three assistant chief engineers, two hose companies of 16 men each, and one hook and ladder company of II men. Each company is allowed five substitute members, who are paid by their principals when acting as substitutes, but who respond as call firemen on a second alarm of fire, when they are paid by the town. By courtesy of Agent A. J. Nichols of the Newmarket Man- ufacturing Co., the hose company of 20 men belonging to the Newmarket Manufacturing Co. will respond to a third fire
3I
alarm, making a total force of 81 officers and men available for fire duty, all of whom are subject to monthly out-door drill except in winter. The companies are well officered, are under good discipline, and the service done by them at fires during the past year would be creditable to any fire depart- ment.
FIRE APPARATUS.
The fire apparatus, a list of which follows, is all in good condition and ready for service, except one length of Climax and two lengths of Paragon hose. The equipment of the two hose companies is: two Gleason & Bailey hose carts, chain winding reels, each with a capacity of 700 feet of hose ; 2000 feet Climax knit rubber-lined hose; 1000 feet Paragon hose ; 8 flexible play pipes ; 4 solid play pipes ; 4 Callahan shut-off nozzles ; 2 single hydrant gates ; 3 Siamese connections ; 2 1 Taber spanners; 6 hydrant wrenches; 18 hose and ladder straps; 4 firemen's lanterns ; 4 torches ; 2 fire axes ; 2 crow- bars ; 3 reducers ; 18 fire hats ; 10 coats ; 4 pairs rubber boots.
Newmarket Manufacturing Co. Hose Company, (3d alarm) : 1500 feet hose ; 6 play pipes.
Equipment of Hook and Ladder Company : One Gleas- on & Bailey steel frame truck No. 2; I 45-foot East Somer- ville extension ladder; I 26-foot, I 25-foot, I 24-foot and I 18-foot single ladders on truck ; I pull-down hook, chain and rope ; 4 hand hooks and poles; 2 crotch poles ; 2 fire axes ; 2 pick-head sledges ; 2 crow-bars; 12 rubber buckets ; 4 fire- men's lanterns; I signal lamp; 1 13-inch gong. Reserve ladders-2 30-foot, I 25-foot and 3 roof ladders.
Tiger Engine, No. 1, has been overhauled and is in good condition for service outside hydrant limits. When needed for such service it will be manned by firemen from hose companies ..
A new traverse runner hose pung for winter service has been purchased. It was a much needed piece of apparatus.
32
It carries 800 feet of hose, 4 play pipes, and a full outfit for the use of hosemen. It is housed at J. Elmer Kent's livery stable, where a fire alarm gong is located and a driver is ready by night or day to start at once, on an alarm of fire.
WATER SUPPLY.
There are 51 hydrants in the hydrant system, with a pressure of from 70 lbs. per square inch at the high school building, the highest point in the hydrant system, to 92 lbs. on Exeter street. Sixty pounds is considered a good work- ing pressure for fire purpose. Superintendent Harvey of the Water Works Co. has kept the hydrants in good condition and the service has been first-class in every respect.
