Driscoll Favors a County Fire Department Station Captain Ben F. Driscoll, of the Lakeland Fire Department be_ lieves that a county Fire Depart- ment would prove a great benefit, and writeg thus interestly of the matter to the Fire Prevention, a na. tional magazine for safeguarding lives and property, published in New York: To the Editor of Fire Prevention: WAbout this time last year the town of Auburndale, in this county, had a serious fire, and Dbeing without waterworks they of course suffered bad losses. However they at once rebuilt and used brick instead of wood and felt safe. Last fall an- other fire gutted all the mew brick stores and threatened all the town, and we, not having a pump, were unable to assist them, although they have several good lakes in the city limits and a pumper would have been worth thousands of dollars. I have noticed that in my former home state, Illinois, and in lowa, similar fires have occurred where the towns needed assistance but the help they wanted was late In getting to the fire on account of the long dis- tance. Take the case of St. Augus- tine, Fla. Jacksonville responded, but that was a big trip and much property was laid waste in the time it required to make the trip. What I wish to suggest Is this: That all counties in the state bond themselves to purchase one or more pumpers, either motor or horse driven, and several thousand feet of best pressure hose—the size of the county can determine the number of i pieces of equipment needed. Then | have these outfit stationed at the most central point in the county or best junction point, and kept loaded on regular cars for quick transpor- tation. An efficient crew to handle the outfit of course should be main- tained. = Wiién any bad or threatening fire occurres in any city in the county, all that will be necessary will be to phone or wire the central station ot this County Fire Department. By “the blowing of a whistle the men She |in this movement and grant to us | First, it shall be the duty of ev- |\ could respond, place the engine on a flat car and soon be on the way to the scene of the fire. You will see that thig idea works on the same lines ag a wrecking crew, only the men must be thoroughly drilled and better time must be made than the ordinary wrecking crew makes now. The great value of such an emer- gency outside in the event of fire at a large isolated dairy or farm is plain. Under my plan every town and village would contribute its share to the cost and upkeep of the County Fire Department, for each at some time would be certain to need its gervices. The figures as near as I can get them would be, say for our county, which is one of the largest in Florida, one giant 700 to 900 gallon pumper, $8,000, either motor or horse driven; 2,000 feet of best hose, $2,000; necessary expense, such as monthly rent on flat car— perhaps this might be bought; shed for the storage of the outfit, $300, and other little incidentals, $200. This total would be not over $12,- 000, and the county board might place a rental for the outfit, just as railroads do when allowing their wrecking outfits to be used by other lineg than their own. 'Towns in the county, like Lakeland, which has five branches, would be the best placeg for the outfifit. I sincerely hope that the above suggestions will receive attention MAJESTIC F. H. Callahan.

Ben F. Driscoll, Station Captain, Lakeland Fire Department. Lakeland, Fla., April 29, 1914. Captain Driscoll's suggestion is 'worth serious consideration. There is no question that the maintenance of such a department, the cost of which scarcely would be perceived if divided proportionately among the various communities in a county, would be of immense value outside of all cities fully equipped with the fire-fighting apparatus, and even to these in the event of such a disaster as overtook St. Augustine, Fla. However, the engines and hose- carts should be motor driven, as they are independent of the railroad and are available even in a snow. storm, when horses could not move them. Tests have shown that au- tomobile fire engineg can make rapid progress even over deep snow. Ev- ery engine, wherever there is one, should have a motor truck. It is not necessary to get a new engine for this, as the old horse-drawn pump can be fitted to a special motor truck at moderate cost. Several au- tomobile or engine concerns under- take the work of making the change. While thig is not so efficient as a regularly made automobile engine on the truck of which the weight is more equally distributed, still it answers the purpose very well and increases a hundredfold the avail_ ability of the engine in when it is most often needed. All large cities, while summer furnisheg the opportunities, should change their horse-drawn equipment for automobile service. Last winter in some New York up-state towns the spectacle was seen of eight or more horses dragging fire engines through snow drifts with difficulty while fires gained destructive head. way.
