埃弗里特的防火。
马萨诸塞州埃弗里特的火灾保护受到国家消防工程师委员会的防火工程师的严厉批评。他们的报告说，全部付费和部分电话的零件在财务上得到了不足的支持。它的公司不足，不得不依靠效率低下的呼叫男人的力量。服务中只有一个引擎；但是它处于公平状态，而储备金的能力只有一个良好的流。梯子服务是公平的；但是化学物质不足。软管的供应相当足够；但是缺乏训练和训练。学科和方法是公平的； but the service, as a whole, is inefficient. The fire-alarm service, which is under the supervision of the chief engineer of the fire department, is managed with a fair amount of sufficiency, and the appa ratus at headquarters is in good condition. The circuits are overhead and only in poor to fair condition. Some boxes are not provided with keys or keyless doors, and in some parts of the city the distribution is fair, but only poor in others. The tests are fairly satisfactory, and the service is fairly reliable; but red lights should be provided to indicate the locations of the boxes. As to the fire department auxiliaries: The cooperation of the fire marshal is fair; the police department is satisfactory, and, though the telephone service for the lire alarm service is limited, powerful aid from the outside is available. The building department is under fairly efficient municipal control; but the laws arc inadequate and lacking in many essential requirements, and the local conditions are bad, nor are there any firelimits. The control of explosives and inflammables is mainly in the hands of the State police The laws are inadequate and only fair; the local conditions, also, are fair. As to electricity: That is under the supervision of the chief of the fire department The laws governing it are few' and inadequate; the inspections are lax; the requirements are not enforced; the condition of the wiring, both old and new, is poor; and that outside is overhead and in poor condition. In addition, electrolysis is liable to cause serious trouble. Although the conflagration hazard of the city, as a whole, however, is slight, yet the lack of adequate building laws, the large amount of frame construction, with wooden shingle roofs, and the weakness of the fire department seriously increase the hazard. At the same time, the fairly satisfactory water supply in most districts, the fairly reliable fire-alarm system and the powerful outside aid are mitigating features, which serve to make a sweeping fire a remote possibility.
