OF INTEREST TO VOLUNTEER FIRE DEPARTMENTS
每个城市都必须解决自己的交通迷宫问题
应确保立法在大火中统治驾驶者的行为，然后应执行法律 - 模型交通条例
LEGISLATION is the only means that will solve the traffic problem that confronts fire chiefs in many cities. Not only must necessary law be written into the city code, but the rules passed must be strictly enforced.
The chief of the fire department should have full and complete charge of all traffic directions at the fire and during the course of the fire. He should have this power by virtue of a city ordinance. The willingness of police authorities to cooperate with the chief to some extent mitigates the situation and lends tolerence to its existence, but it does not lessen the necessity for full legal control. He is the only man, by experience, who is qualified to estimate the space that would be required for the proper maneuvering of his companies.
In speaking before a gathering of fire chiefs, Chief George M. Mantor of Seattle, Wash., said:
“Pending concerted action toward a national or state traffic code, each community must be considered as a separate problem. Each fire chief must fight the matter out with his local legislative bodies.
