Moore Chief at Army Air Base
L. C. Moore, formerly with the Sacramento, Cal., Fire Department, has been appointed Fire Chief at the U. S. Army Air Base at Jacksonville, Fla. Just prior to his appointment, he served as Fire Chief at Camp Blanding, Fla., while the camp was under construction.
Chief Moore started at Camp Blanding with two men. No stations were built and no apparatus was on the ground. When he turned over his duties to the fire chief of the completed camp, there were six large stations and a personnel of eighty-seven firemen. The equipment consisted of eight pieces of apparatus, two 750-gallon pumpers and six 500-gallon triple combination pumpers and six one-half-ton pickup trucks.
