PENNSYLVANIA RAILWAY FIRE DEPARTMENT.
THE Pennsylvania Railroad has its own fire department for its property in Philadelphia under Chief Fire Marshal Herbert Heston, whose portrait accompanies this article.
Chief Heston, who has occupied his position for twelve years, previously organized such a thoroughly well drilled fire brigade at one of the Philadelphia stations while in the freight department, that his appointment to the higher office followed. In his capacity as chief he has organized and equipped fire brigade the various stations in Philadelphia, and has travelled all over the road inspecting, improving, and suggesting alterations in the fire service arrangements, which are now perfect.
