FIRE-HAZARD AT KANSAS CITY, KANS.

FIRE-HAZARD AT KANSAS CITY, KANS.

根据国家消防承销商火灾预防委员会的工程师的说法，堪萨斯州堪萨斯城的大火危机仅是温和的。总结了那个城市的条件：“供水。- 工厂由西弗吉尼亚州大都会水公司拥有和运营。宪章于1906年12月到期。从密苏里河的供应，直接过滤到该市，没有分配系统的存储空间。抽水能力不足。消费mod板条箱，考虑到用于制造目的的大量。压力公平至非常低，白天维护不佳。城市的单一力量太小了。在一座无止境桥上的Packinghouse区的主要主菜之一。分发主电源太小且烤不良。 Gate-valves in good condition, but spacing too wide. Hydrants in good condition, spacing too wide, type poor and all do not open in the same direction. Fire Department.—Full paid: under a progressive chief. Under the supervision of a committee of the council appointed by the njayor. Appointments made for two-year terms only. Force small. Too few engines in service, considering the poor water supply; none in reserve; only two in good conditions. Too few ladder trucks. Chemical service meagre. Insufficient supply of hose in reserve. Minor equipment fair. Discipline is fairly good, ami drills are good. Service, as a whole, is inefficient. Fire-Alarm System.—A telephone system used exclusively. Exchange poorly located in building of ordinary construction. Contains numerous elements of unreliability. System decidedly unsatisfactory. Conflagration-Hazard.—Moderate, as a whole. In parts of certain districts severe group and individual lires are likely to occur, due to the poor water supply, weak fire department, unreliable fire-alarm system and structural weaknesses. A mitigating feature is the aid available from the adjoining city of Kansas City, Mo., both in water supply and fire department. The chances of a fire covering any large area are small.”
