Among the Fire Fans
THE writer enjoyed a visit with the Fire Bell Club of New York a few weeks back. Several pleasant hours were spent with the members at the club room on W. 33rd. St. A visit also was made to the National Defense Exposition at the Grand Central Palace. The New York Fire Department put on nightly demonstrations, using a portable drill tower and members of the department’s World's Fair drill team. Representative apparatus of the department was on display in the background.
Many thanks to Bell Club members for bearing with me on those prolonged fire telegraph discussions. The private alarm hell in the club quarters was too fascinating to the writer to be lightly passed over.
