来自路易斯维尔的火灾记录。
消防与水利工程对应。
这座城市几乎已经建成了21号消防站，这是路易斯维尔郊区新月山上的一个新消防站。这是一个非常漂亮的结构，压砖和白色的石头，釉面砖在内部。它的成本是2.4万美元。一台第二尺寸的大陆发动机已经签约。它将放置在3号引擎室，这是在上层商务区，其目前的第三大小的汽船将占据新的21号房子。这将加强菲尔莫尔·泰森酋长在危险地区的力量，而第三大小的引擎将适合新月山社区的城市最好的居民区。泰森队长的修理厂增加了一个工具室它配有万能磨床、铣床、小型车床和钻床。这个房间独立于主设备，由一个单独的6马力马达操作。这一增加使维修店一起完成，一个难以击败。上星期五这儿有许多大事。 The Commercial club worked up a Greater Louisville Military Jubilee, for the benefit of the First Kentucky regiment of the Kentucky State Guards. The fire department participated with but only a few pieces of apparatus, as Chief Tyson is not a “parade man.’’ He thinks it a “dangerous proposition.” He had in line two engines, one aerial truck and the water tower which followed the old volunteers with their hand-engine drawn by ropes. In doing so he merely wanted to show the public the advancement that has been made in firefighting since 1858—the date of the organisation of the paid department. The American Water Works convention number of FIRE AND WATER ENGINEERING has been greatly admired by all who have seen it here, and probably by the newspaper men of this city as much as by any others.
