A Tardy Response
Ed Jacobs, one of the ardent members of the S. W. Johnson Engine Company of West Haverstraw, N. Y. Fire Department, failed to hear the alarm of his engine company early one Sunday morning. However, he did hear the alarm of a brother company a short distance away. After jumping into some clothes, he hurried to his station. Finding the door locked and not being able to locate his key, Ed did the next best thing, which was to go in through the window. He received a surprise when he found the truck gone. It was already at the fire.
