Indian Fire Pumps
Water holds its position as the most generally used agent for fire fighting. Fire departments recognize this as they are equipping with large booster tanks so that they will have plenty of available water for emergency fires, and they are equipping with the Indian five-gallon back-pack fire pump, which may be carried in the hand or thrown on the back like a pack basket. With slow, easy working of the solid brass pump, a 30 to 50 ft. stream may be had. “Large numbers of fire chiefs in the cities and m rural sections use this hand five-gallon back-pack fire pump on from 50% to 75% of all their fire calls, for fighting fires in buildings of all kinds, as well as for grass, brush and spot fires on the outside,” states the maker of this appliance.
