Former Chicago Battalion Chief Does Good Work In Camp Blaze
在最近在路易斯安那州新奥尔良的博雷加德营地发生的一场大火中，一个烂摊子被摧毁了，但由于士兵的迅速工作，大火被停止了，没有其他伤害，其中许多人是彩色的，由火元帅领导营地，列伊特。P. E. Edmansey。大火在早上大约1:20左右爆发。有人看到了大火，立即给营地的火电话号码打电话给Beauregard 13。消防元帅看到了一英里以外的炮兵山附近的大火。尽管经历了严重的道路，他和他的手下在大约五分钟的时间内到达了这个地方。当该设备驶向大火时，警卫和其他士兵在空中开火，通过听起来像一场真正的战斗唤醒了整个营地。成千上万的士兵穿上衣服并准备采取行动。在三十分钟内，两个烂摊子被拯救了，大火扑灭了。 The loss was probably around $1,000, the fire marshal thought. Lieutenant Edmansen said negro soldiers, who were closest to the fire, did valiant work in assisting the fire department, and he was just as proud of them as he was of the white soldiers who lent a hand. The fire marshal, who is new to the camp, is a veteran fire fighter. He fought fires in Chicago for twenty years, rising from fireman to battalion chief or fire lieutenant in that city. On October 1, 1917, he enlisted with the colors, and was given a sergeantcy. He was commissioned June 6 at Camp Funston, where for several months he had charge of the fire companies. He now commands Fire Truck and Hose Company 336 in Camp Beauregard. Since Lieutenant Edmansen has been on the job, four new fire stations have been constructed, representing a total investment, including fire apparatus, of about $40,000. These are at the sub-depot quartermaster, at Base Hospital, in the 29th Infantry Area and close to Artillery Hill.
