ANNUAL REPORT
OF THE
FIRE DEPARTMENT
FOR THE YEAR 1926.
Boston, July 15, 1927.
Hon. Malcolm E. Nichols,
Mayor of the City of Boston:
Dear Sir, — As required by section 24, chapter 4 of
the Revised Ordinances of 1925, I have the honor to
submit the following report of the activities of the Fire
Department of the City of Boston for the year ending
December 31, 1926.
I took office as Fire Commissioner on July 6, 1926,
succeeding Col. Thomas F. Sullivan, Acting Fire Com-
missioner, who had relieved Fire Commissioner Theodore
A. Glynn in January, 1926, the latter having tendered
his resignation from office.
The total fire loss for the city as estimated by the
insurance companies for the year was $5,199,965, show-
ing a decrease of $207,105 below the loss of 1925.
The appropriation expended for the year including
the Wire Division was $4,393,575.72, and the revenue
from all sources amounted to $136,366.68.
During the year the department purchased the
following pieces of major fire-fighting apparatus:
Six gasolene pumping engines.
Four city service ladder trucks.
Three combination hose and chemical cars.
2 City Document No. 13.
Two aerial ladder trucks.
Five four-wheel tractors.
Extensive alterations and repairs were made on the
following buildings:
Engines 6 and 42, Ladder 12, Repair Shop, Head-
quarters, third and fourth floors.
Minor repairs and renewals were made on the follow-
ing buildings :
Engines 43, 45, 51 and 52.
The grading and completing of the grounds and
driveways at the new fire alarm station in the Fens and
the new fire station of Engine Company 21, Columbia
road, was finished. Extensive repairs and alterations
were made on Ladder 17 also. Many buildings were
painted, repaired and generally put in as good condition
as their age would allow.
Plans and specifications are being prepared for two
new stations, one to be located at Broadway and Warren-
ton street; and which will provide quarters for Engine
Company 26-35, Rescue Company 1, the Chief of
Department, and the District Chief of District 5; the
other to be built on Parish street, Meeting House Hill,
to replace the present quarters of Engine Company 17
and Ladder Company 7.
Work on the Broadway fire station is scheduled to
start about March 1, 1927, and at Meeting House Hill
about April 15, 1927.
Extensive maintenance work has been performed on
the major fire apparatus of the department, and it is in
first-class condition at the present time. Each of the
fire boats was found to need extensive repairs, and
approximately $23,000 was paid to shipbuilding con-
cerns to put these boats in condition to render the service
for which they were designed.
Three divisions of the department were reorganized
during the year in order to render more efficient service.
An executive secretary of the department was
appointed to centralize the responsibility in the Head-
quarters Division.
The Fire Prevention Bureau, License Division and
the Bureau of Building Survey and Inspection Division
of the Uniform Force was abolished, and a Fire Preven-
tion Division established under the direction of a
superintendent.
The Bureau of Supplies and Repairs and the High
Pressure Steam and Marine Engineering Service were
Fire Department. 3
consolidated into the Maintenance Division and placed
under the charge of a superintendent of maintenance.
All steam fire engines have been eliminated from
service in the department and all engine companies are
now equipped with gasolene pumping engines.
Two new companies have been established during the
year, namely, Ladder Company 31 in East Boston,
giving additional protection for this section of the city,
and Rescue Company 2 in Roxbury, which will perform
service similar to that performed by Rescue Company 1
in the city proper.
The Rules and Regulations are being revised and
edited. The rules under which the department has
been operating are obsolete and not adapted to modern
practice. Many of the rules do not cover conditions
which exist in the department today, due to many
changes in the conduct of the fire departments, such as
the introduction of motor apparatus, high pressure water
system, the two-platoon system, etc;
One of the most beneficial steps taken to improve the
morale of the department was the establishment of a
drill school for all members of the department. In the
past it has been the custom to send all probationers
through the drill school before they are accepted as
firemen. The men's training was neglected from then
on, and because of lack of practice the lessons taught
in the drill school were forgotten. Now all officers
below the grade of district chief, and all privates regard-
less of their length of service, are compelled to attend
the department drill school which has been in session
daily for the past six months.
Recommendations.
1. The mutual aid system now in effect between the
Boston Fire Department and the fire departments of
adjoining municipalities should be thoroughly recon-
structed and put upon a business basis. At present the
Fire Commissioner of Boston has never been authorized
by the City Council to send apparatus and men outside
the city limits. The present system is very loosely
drawn, and leaves some sections of the city without
proper protection in the event of a large fire either in
this city or in adjoining municipalities.
2. All single unit engine companies in the depart-
ment should be made into double units. This should
be accomplished by the purchase of additional hose cars.
4 City Document No. 13.
3. A complete and scientific study should be made
of the present distribution of fire stations throughout
the city with a view to mobilizing more apparatus in
central stations and eliminating some of the old stations.
Many of the present stations are totally unfit for men
to live in, and were located before the use of motor-
driven apparatus was even thought of for the present
equipment of the department. The majority of the
stations of the department were built to accommodate
horse-drawn apparatus when the department was
operated on a call basis, and but a few men slept in the
houses. While some changes have been made for the
accommodation of the men, the quarters are in many
cases unsuitable and unclean, and the buildings are so
old and badly located as not to warrant extensive
repairs and alterations. A rearrangement of the houses
would result in a material reduction of stations with a
great saving in cost of maintenance, give a better system
of response to alarms, as well as improve the living
conditions of the men.
4. In addition to planning for modern stations to
take the place of buildings too old to be repaired,
economically, many fire houses need extensive repairs
and alterations to adapt them for the purposes for which
they are now used. Many of our present stations have
wooden floors and other conditions which if they existed
in private buildings we would be obliged to order closed
for noncompliance with the law.
5. False alarms constitute a menace to the city by
having considerable sections without fire protection
while apparatus is out of quarters. We have also had
numerous complaints from individuals being unable to
find fire alarm boxes at night. More light at our boxes,
by either gas or electricity, would assist the citizens in
finding the box at night as well as to discourage mis-
creants from pulling false alarms. The lighting of our
boxes is not done by this department, but by the Public
Works Department, and that department should be
provided with funds for that necessary purpose.
6. New apparatus in the form of lighting equipment
should be added to the fire-fighting machinery of the
department. At the present time the men are literally
obliged to fight fires "in the dark" and a study is being
made to provide proper lighting at all fires.
Fire Department. 5
7. Plans should be made for the enlargement of the
present repair shop which was designed to accommodate
horse-drawn apparatus. The present shop is overcrowded
and accommodations should be provided for an addition
to the present structure so that present equipment can
be efficiently handled. The department garage and the
fire alarm shop are now badly housed in old buildings
located some distance from the main shops. These
shops should be centralized with the other shops of this
department in the additional building for the general
repair shop.
Appended hereto are reports from the heads of various
divisions of the department and tables, schedules, etc.,
showing the activities of the department.
Respectfully submitted,
E. C. HULTMAN,
Fire Commissioner.

The following work is incomplete at this date:
Engine 26-35, Broadway, South End, new quarters.
Engine 17 and Ladder 7, Meeting House Hill, Dor-
chester, plans now being made for new quarters.
Tools and Appliances.
During the year four additional Ross thawing
devices were purchased and installed on pumpers in
the department.
Seven additional P. & Q. door openers were pur-
chased and added to the equipment of Ladder Com-
panies 2, 9, 12, 15, 23, 24 and 31, these tools having
proven to be very efficient for the purpose required.
Four of the so-called "New York" bars were installed
on Ladder Companies 1, 13, 17 and 18.
A Burrell all-service gas mask was placed in service
with Ladder Company 31 and one of these masks was
also installed on each deputy chief's car in the three
divisions.
An H. & H. inhalator was purchased and added to
the equipment of Ladder Company 31.
Seventeen foam type fire extinguishers were purchased
and added to the equipment of various companies, this
type of extinguisher being very efficient in extinguishing
small oil fires, grease fires in connection with oil or gas
stoves in restaurant and hotel kitchens.
Apparatus and Equipment.
Thorough inspections and tests of apparatus, equip-
ment and hose were conducted at various times during
the year, and where defects were found, replacements
or repairs were made immediately, so that the efficiency
of the department might be maintained at a high stand-
ard at all times.
Mutual Aid.
The department responded to forty-eight (48) alarms
of fire outside of the city limits, divided as follows:
Chelsea

Fire Department. 13
It is a source of gratification to note that a great deal
of good has resulted by this plan of interchange of
service in time of urgent necessity.
Drill School.
During the year forty (40) appointees successfully
passed the intensive course of instructions in the Depart-
ment Drill School, together with two officers and eight
members from other departments.
Fire College.
Eighty (80) officers from this department, together
with twelve officers from suburban departments, at-
tended the sessions of the Fire College and practically
every subject in the fire service was treated upon in this
course. With the completion of the final session of the
Fire College during this year, every officer in the depart-
ment below the grade of district chief has received the
course of instructions during the past two years.
Company Drills.
In addition to the usual drills of the department
another form of drill was put into operation during the
year whereby each company of the department on the
day platoon drills for one half hour by raising, lowering
and going over a thirty-foot ladder. Each member of
the company, including the officers, takes each position
and performs the various evolutions in connection with
the handling of a thirty-foot ladder. This drill is
performed daily, usually in the morning.
This form of drill has already resulted in the improved
physical condition of the members of the department.
Fire Prevention Week.
Fire Prevention Week was observed in this city during
the week of October 3 to 10, 1926. All schools, both
public and parochial, were visited by a member of the
Fire Department and talks given on fire prevention.
Fire drills were also held in all the schools. Some of the
churches from which requests were received were also
visited and talks given on fire prevention. A reel of
moving pictures was exhibited at various moving picture
theaters in different parts of the city and a talk on fire
prevention given in conjunction with same. Copies of
a proclamation issued by his Excellency the Governor
of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts were distributed
14
City Document No. 13.
to the department and posted on the station houses and
other prominent locations. A supply of "Nearest Fire
Alarm Box" cards was also distributed to the depart-
ment with instructions to have same posted in various
buildings where same would be utilized to the best
advantage. In addition fire stations were open to the
public between the hours of 12 and 9 p. m. for inspection
and information as to how the department functions and
on fire prevention matters, as well as instructions given
as to the proper method of sending in an alarm of fire.
In fact, every effort was made to impress upon the
general public the necessity of taking every possible
precaution against fire, not only as affecting their
places of business or employment, but even more so, the
importance of observing fire prevention in their homes
for the protection of those near and dear to them.
Hydrants.
The following is a list of the hydrants in service for
fire purposes, as of December 31, 1926, showing the
number and different types of same:

Fire Department. 15
During the year 1926, the High Pressure Fire System
has been extended into the following streets:
Summer street, Atlantic avenue to Dorchester
avenue.
Dorchester avenue, Summer to Congress streets.
Congress street, Estes place to Dorchester avenue.
Including the above outlined work, the High Pressure
System now includes 16.80 miles of piping and 451 high
pressure fire hydrants.
Once again the continued excellent work performed by
this system during the year 1926 has demonstrated what
a necessary adjunct it is to the fire-fighting force in the
extinguishment of fires in the high value section of the
city.
New Companies Established.
On Monday, June 14, 1926, a new company known as
Ladder Company 31 was established in the quarters
formerly occupied by Chemical Company 7, Saratoga
street, East Boston, equipped with an American-La-
France 75-foot four-wheel tractor aerial truck. At the
same time, Chemical Company 7 was disbanded and
the members of the company reassigned. The motor
wagon formerly in service at Chemical Company 7 was
installed in the quarters of Engine Company 11, making
it a two-unit company. With these changes, which
were strongly recommended by the National Board of
Fire Underwriters in their 1925 report on the City of
Boston, the East Boston district is now afforded more
adequate fire protection than ever before.
On Friday, December 10, 1926, a new company known
as Rescue Company No. 2 was established in the quar-
ters of Ladder Company 4, Dudley street, Roxbury.
This company is equipped with a motor driven car,
American-LaFrance Type 75, with Foamite Childs
equipment installed, including Foamite tanks, etc., two
Burrell all service gas masks, elevator rescue outfit,
various tools, extinguishers, life line, jimmy, etc. The
establishment of this company fills a long needed require-
ment for a rescue company in that section of the city,
and the apparatus is also available for oil fires in any
section of the city, if needed, for which foam is par-
ticularly adapted.

Recommendations.
The following is a list of new apparatus which in my
opinion is required to place the department on an effi-
cient basis and provide for an adequate reserve:
I recommend that new hose wagons be supplied to the
following companies which are at present single units,
thereby making them double unit companies and increas-
ing their efficiency 100 per cent:
Engine Companies 2, 16, 19, 20, 32, 49, 51, 52 and 53,
total, nine companies.
Reserve wagons 301 and 302 to be replaced with new
hose wagons. The new wagons to be placed in Engine
Companies 6 and 41 and these wagons placed in reserve.
Ladder Companies 10, 29 and 30 to be replaced with
new six-cylinder city service trucks. The old trucks
to be placed in reserve and old Christie tractors
to be discarded.
Two new four-wheel tractors for Water Tower 403
(Tower 3) and 404 (Tower 2).
One spare tractor to be used while tractors on aerial
trucks and water towers are undergoing repairs.
The pumpers in service in the department are all in
good condition and our reserve consists of eight pumps,
which I consider an adequate reserve.
With the purchase of this amount of new apparatus,
eleven hose wagons, three city service trucks and three
type 17 tractors, the department would be placed on a
very efficient basis and would complete the plan of
making all engine companies two units which was started
several years ago. It would also permit of the discon-
tinuing the use of the Christie tractor which has out-
lived its usefulness and is a very undesirable unit for
this department.
With the rearrangement of our apparatus we would
then have the following reserve:
Seven hose wagons; eight pumpers; five city service
trucks; one water tower; three aerial trucks; one spare
tractor.
New Buildings.
Engine 2 — Ladder 19. — I recommend the erection of
new quarters housing both of these companies in the
vicinity of Broadway and L street. In the near future
the territory along Summer and L streets will be built
up with manufacturing and mercantile buildings require-
ing proper fire-fighting facilities for their protection.
Fire Department. 17
Engines 4 and 6 — Ladder 21±.— These companies now
occupy antiquated, unsanitary and poorly located
quarters. They are, in fact, a disgrace to the city and
not at all in line with other recent improvements in this
section of the city. A new combination house on a wide
centrally located street is a crying necessity.
Engine 3 and Ladder 3. — The present building is old,
somewhat shaky, unsanitary and should be rebuilt
rather than have the large amount of money spent upon
it which would be required to help improve it. New
building recommended.
Engine 13. — Old, antiquated and unwholesome build-
ing. A shame to fireproof at large expense. New
building recommended.
Engine 16 and Ladder 6. — Old, poorly arranged build-
ings; should come down and new building erected.
Engine 18.— Engine Houses 16, 17, 18, 19, 20 and 21
were erected at the time of annexation of Dorchester
to Boston and all are in an old and dilapidated condi-
tion. Engine 21 has recently been rebuilt, Engine 17
has an appropriation and the plans are going for-
ward for a building commensurate with its location.
Engine 18 should be rebuilt.
Engine 19. — In the list just mentioned hereinbefore,
is included this building which is also too small for the
company's needs. New building recommended.
Engine 20 and Ladder 27. — For many years this loca-
tion has been condemned by various interests. A new
building on a new site is recommended.
Engine 23. — This old building, located on Northamp-
ton street, is narrow, jammed in between other buildings
and should have a new building on a more commodious
lot.
Engine 37 and Ladder 26. — The large expense of fire-
proofing and remodeling this building does not seem
warranted. It is located in a growing and important
locality in the vicinity of several hospitals. It is almost
impossible to house an 85-foot ladder and get away from
the building. The roof construction is such that there
is not ample head room for tillerman. Would recom-
mend a new building.
Remodeling, Fireproofing, Etc.
Engine 29 and Ladder 1 1 . — This house should have
first consideration under the above heading. Drop the
floor 2 feet in order to obtain proper headroom and
18 City Document No. 13.
lower pitch or ramp into building. New concrete floor,
fireproofing treatment of sidewalls and ceilings, various
improvements on second floor.
Engine 11 and Ladder 21. — This structure is fairly
modern and its condition warrants fireproofing with
alterations.
Engine 4-5 and Ladder 16. — This structure warrants
going ahead with fireproofing and improvements.
The following is a list of houses which still have
wood floors and consequently are not complying with
the law for housing motor vehicles. They should be
given consideration for reinforced concrete floors, fire-
proofing and remodeling:
Engine 9 and Ladder 2. Engine 22 and Ladder 13.
Engine 24. Engine 30 and Ladder 25.
Engine 32. Engine 34.
Engine 36 and Ladder 22. Engine 48 and Ladder 28.
Ladder 9. Ladder 12.
Ladder 23.
There are a number of wooden floors in various
houses in the department which were loaded with a fire-
proofing coat of 3 inches to 4 inches of concrete. In
most cases this is badly cracked and the whole floor will
have to be removed and a reinforced concrete slab sub-
stituted. One such house needs this treatment at once,
namely, Ladder 5 and Engine 1.
The department garage needs a new floor on top. of
old sunken one. The building itself is not adequate
and a large convenient site should be obtained and a
new building built as soon as possible.
Conclusion.
To the Boston Board of Fire Underwriters, the
National Board of Fire Underwriters, the New England
Insurance Exchange and the National Fire Protection
Association, who so kindly co-operated with this depart-
ment in the carrying out of many progressive measures,
I wish to extend my sincere appreciation. Also I desire
to extend my thanks to the various municipal depart-
ments, public service corporations and the Boston Pro-
tective Department, which rendered valuable service
during the past year.
Fire Department. 19
Finally, to the members of the department who so
devotedly and efficiently performed their many difficult
and at times hazardous duties, I wish to express my
heartfelt gratitude, and it is my sincere hope that the
department will continue to maintain its position among
the leading fire departments in the entire world, by
rendering the same high standard of service as in the
past.
Respectfully,
Daniel F. Sennott,
Chief of Department.

especially concerning circuits. Seven new box circuits,
four tapper circuits and three gong circuits were made
and other circuits were rearranged to make them more
uniform. With but one or two exceptions no circuit
now has more than the required number of boxes or
other apparatus connnected.

City Document No. 13.
This department installed 28 new boxes, 6 were in-
stalled by the Schoolhouse Department and 7 were in-
stalled on private property; 2 boxes were relocated and
10 were removed from service. All boxes and posts
were painted.
Because of the delay in receiving cable from the manu-
facturer only about one half of the underground cable
work planned was done. Approximately 22,450 feet of
cable for extension of underground system was installed
and about 12,350 feet was used to replace defective
cables or those too small for requirements. About
3,770 feet of ducts were laid underground, 31 box posts
and 5 cable posts were set, 14 box posts damaged by
vehicles were replaced by new posts and 52 other posts
damaged had parts replaced. Because of change in
street lines 3 posts were relocated. Two manholes and
2 handholes were built. Many changes and additions
to electrical equipments in department stations were
made for the betterment of the service.

I would suggest that consideration be given toward the
erection of a new building in as close proximity to the
present Maintenance Division Repair Shop as would be
possible, for the purpose of storing all our reserve motor
apparatus, to give more efficient service when replacing
disabled apparatus.
Consideration should be given to the necessity of
having the shop suitably arranged to accommodate
major apparatus, the present shop having been built
some years ago for the care and upkeep of horse-drawn
vehicles.
Our Department Garage at 618 Harrison avenue used
principally for the storage of reserve chief officers' cars,

During the past year I find about the average number
of sick and injured on file up to the month of July when
a large number of men were affected severely from
inhalation of celluloid fumes, the same causing the
death of one fireman.
From August 1 to December 1, 1926, there has been

ill and less 36 injured than the four months previous).
The past four months I find on record 79 sick and 113
injured. The previous four months I find on record 95
sick and 149 injured.
The men have always been eager and prompt in
rendering first aid to all citizens as well as to firemen.
It is worthy of record to report this year that out of
1,568 injuries on file 1,251 men were treated at quarters
or as out-patients, and remained on fire duty.
