圣路易斯普泽尔队伍。

一个有趣的帐户的起源和工作的圣路易斯庞皮兵团是给予了9月25日的共和党。我们报价:

“Pompier Corps是一家St. Louis的机构就是自豪的，并且在组织本身在短时间内服务的众多完美程度已经在其自身确凿的证据表明成员不孤单，因此成员不经历过消防员但同时彻底训练了运动员。在任何所需点到达高层建筑的所有楼层的窗户始终是消防部门在这个国家解决的最困难的问题。在南方酒店火灾之后，这件事是一般讨论的主题，若干先生们强烈支持引入一些欧洲城市所使用的普尔普普尔制度的修改。该计划没有一般青睐，但为了表现出其可行性，将成立委员会，其中E. D. Meier，Zero Marx和代表C. A. Stifel是积极的工人。一个独立的22岁jmembers的军团，组织了六名车手的帆船和其他曾经攀登的其他人，并且组织了六名机构，而基督徒的胡扯是由工人制造的。该组织于1877年4月19日进行了影响。第一届钻头于4月22日举行，并于6月18日举行，获得了足够的技能来展示可以做的事情，在Peper仓库中发挥公共展览并解散。结果是，该系统发现它是常规特征的常规特征，圣路易斯消防部门。主席塞克斯顿被任命为军团的成员，这四个属于独立公司的二十二人，他们仍在服务中。他们是，ch。 Hoell, Win. Ruetz, George Dauber and John Pillman. Their appointments were made September 14, or about a year ago. The members were appointed from the regular Hook and Ladder Service, and their subsequent record, including the Chicago triumph, is too well known to need any comment. Suffice it to say, there is hardly a fire of any consequence at which the peculiar facilities possessed by this means do not come in play. They can now scale any building in the city without other aid tha n their little ladders. St. Louis was the first city f 0 adopt the system, and she has so fully demonsti ated its usefulness that the Convntic n of Fire Engineers that met at Cleveland has recommended its general introduction in all cities. Lately a letter was received from Philadelphia, asking for the necessary information to enable them to start a similar organization. Similar letters have also been received from other cities. St. Louis has always been quick to improve her Fire Department Service. She was second to adopt the Paid Department system, Cincinnati being first. She was also secord to adopt Steam Engines, and was among the first to procure a Skinner Escape. It seems only natural, then, that she should lead off in the Pompier service which is really a most important acquisition.”
