Gadzooks, Percival...we’re theonly castle in the kingdom notheating with Gas!

8 out of 10 new homes on Gaslines have Gas heat. (So do

lots of fire stations.)Why the overwhelming preference for Gas heat?Because it’s clean, quiet, dependable, and safe.Moreover, nothing beats Gas for operating economy.It’s today’s chief fuel for new home buyers. Howabout your home, Chief?

HONORABLE TIMOTHY J. CONNORS: Thank you very much, Mr. President. Rev-erend Clergy, Distinguished Guests, Ladies and Gentlemen. It is my pleasure againthis year to welcome you here to The Wentworth-By-The-Sea. This is my third Con-ference with you, and I really fee! almost like a Fire Chief.

The weather is going to be good for the whole time, and the City of Portsmouth isguaranteeing that. Chief Crompton saw to that. He didn’t want a new truck. He justwanted a good Conference.

Again, I want to welcome you to Portsmouth, and we hope that you will have afruitful Conference. (Applause)

PRESIDENT SEAVEY: Thank you, Mayor Conners.

Next, we have the Honorable Ralph F. Frobisher, Chairman of the Board of Se-lectmen of !~ew Castle, New Hampshire. (Applause)

HONORABLE RALPH S. FROBISHER: l~Ir. President, Reverend Clergy, Honor-ed Guests, Members of the New England Association of Fire Chiefs and their wives.It is a pleasure to welcome you here this morning to New Castle. I am remindedsomehow, and I don’t know why, that a train recently passed through West Germany,and in one of the compartments, there sat four people, one of whom was a middle-aged lady; secondly, there was a young girl, and third, there was a Russian soldier,and fourth, there was a Wes~ Berlin patriot. The train went through a tunnel in com-plete dartmess for a few minutes, and a!i of a sudden there was a kissing noise anda loud whumpf!

The train emerged from the tunnel and in the broad daylight, you could see theRussian soldier had a beautiful shiner starting, and blood was dripping from his nose.

t want to tell you the inner thoughts of each one of these four people. The middle-aged lady thought: "That guy tried to kiss the young girl."

The girl thought: "I can’t understand why he wanted to kiss the middle-aged wom-an when I was right here."

The Russian soldier thought: "The West Berliner made a mistake and wallopedme."

The West Berllner thought: "Well, that’s the first time I’ve been able to kiss theback of my hand and slug a Russian Soldier!" (Laughter)

We welcome you here to the Town of New Castle. Have an enjoyable meeting andcome back next year.

Thank you very much! (Applause)

It is always my pleasureevery year to accompany the Mayor to bid you Welcome to this area. I have beenhere ever since I have been City Manager of the City of Portsmouth which, for manypeople, is really too long. However, I enjoy coming here, and I notice every year thatwe promise you sunshine, and the minute we leave you and go back home, I don’tknow what you people do, bt~t the rain starts in the afternoon and sometimes you geta couple of days of it.

I do hope that you have good weather.

Have you ever noticed that history repeats itself? Years ago, most municipalitieshad fire stations a!l over the plantation. Then, we got into the habit of saying thateverything must be consolidated into one central fire station and now, we are going backto that period.

The City of Portsmouth will have a new sub-fire station in the fall, and we hopeto have another one, a second fire station next year sometime. I have noticed thatthe City of Concord and other places in the State and elsewhere are doing the samething.

I am noticing the saree thing, too, as far as history repeating itself, and as far asmy physical condition is concerned. I have noticed that when I passed sixty, I was get~ring younger all the. time, so that in another three or four years, I might be a youngchild again, I hope!

!t seems to me that every year, we try to find something encouraging to tel! youfire fighters. I hope that you have a fine Conference here and ! don’t care whether youlearn anything or not, because. I am satisfied with what you know as far as fire fight-ing is concerned.

! have to keep up with the trends and I think you have to do that, too. I hope youhave a good time, and don’t study too hard, and give those sweethearts of yours, thewomen folk, a good time, too, for they well deserve it.

Now, unless I tell you a story each year, I’m nothere too many ~imes, so I have just abou~ run out oftel! you, if you have heard it before, please bear withmay have happened to you, and if not, it may happen

satisfied. And yet, I have beenstories. This one I am going tome, because I love to tel! it; itin the future.

It seems as though a fire chief had retired at the age of seventy. On his first dayhome for good, his wife said to him:

"You know, dear, I’d like to make a sma!l change in our living conditions."

He said: "Yes; what is the small change?"

She said: "I wish we would get some twin beds; we’re getting older and I knowI disturb you sometimes, and when we wake up, we’re not as young as we used to beand we have a hard time to go back to sleep."

He consented to buy the twin beds, and he bought them. The first evening after thearrival of the twin beds, he pnt on his evening gown, nightgown and bonnet, and he gotinto bed and got ready to go to sleep. Al! of a sudden he heard:

"Harry, Harry ! ’ ’

"What! What! What’s the matter?"

"When we slept together, you always nsed to kiss me Goodnight before we wentto sleep."

We]l, he pushed the blankets back, put his slippers on, walked over to the otherbed and Pdssed his w~fe Goodnight. Then he came back to the side of the bed, tookhis slippers off and pulled thle blankets up around him and again tried to go to sleep.In a couple of minutes, he heard:

"Harry! Harry!"

"What’s the matter now?"

"when we slept together, you used to bite my ears before we went to sleep."

He got up out of bed again after pushing the blankets back, put his slippers on, andwalked towards the bath room.

She said: "What are you doing over there?"

And he said: "I’m going to get my scissors!"

Mr. President, Chief Ralph Seavey, Reverend Clergy, .the Honorable Mayor of theCity of Portsmouth, Ted Connors, Honorable Selectmen Ralph Frohisher, the RightHonorable Happy City Manager of Ports~mouth, . Bob Violette, my good friend ChiefRoscoe Warren, President of the Fire Chiefs ~inb of New Hampshire, distinguishedand brother Fire Chiefs, and convention members, their wives and friends:

It gives me a great deal of pleasure to respond to the fine words of welcome thathave been extended here to us this mol~ning, and it is with a grat sense of humilitythat we accep~ this warm and gratifying welcome.

We, the New England Association of Fire Chiefs, have been holding our confer-ence here at the Wentworth Hotel for quiet a few years now in fact, we’re on our wayto our silver anniversary--and each year we appreciate more and more the privilegeof meeting at this fine hotel in these beauti~! surroundings, partaking of the fine hos-pitality that is extended to us by Mr. and Mrs. Smith and their able staff-- and alsothe fine hospitality that has been extended to us by so many others that have been con-nected with these conferences. I personally feel an extra sense of appreciation andhappiness this year to have been selected to give this response to your addresses ofwelcome because I think the records will bear ont that yon have never had a man inthe front yard of the conference give the response before. As many of you know, New-ington, New Hampshire (God’s OWN country) where ~ am Fire Chief, is only aboutten miles from here, and that is why it makes it quite a unique situation.

It is my humble belief that we of the fire services here gathered should dedicateourselves and this conference to the protection of all mankind and their properties, thatduring these meetings and sessions and conferences that will be conducted here fromthis time unti! we break up here Thursday noontime and head for home., our thoughtswill be ever dwelling on the prevention and extinguishment of fires and the renderingof assistance in a!! emergencies, no matter what they might be. We should strive for thefu!~illment of the aims and scope of the programs that will hereafter be presented, andthough we may take some time out to play, when that gavel is rapped for the morningsession, each and every one of us will walk into that conference room ready for afull day’s work.

We must ever be alert to the fact that it is our cardinal responsibility to maintainthe high s~andards that have been established not only by the. able and outstandingmen who are with us today but by those men who are no longer with us who devotedtheir lives to the fire services.

Again I wish to express our appreciation to a!l those who so graciously extendedto us the warmest of welcome today, and we look forward to having the opportunityof meeting here again next year.

Thank you. (Applause)

TraininE men with Rockwood FOAMcosts you least, saves you most

Trainees using Rockwood Double StrengthFOAM liquid learn one of the most effec-tive fire-fighting techniques ever developed.Training cost is low because 3 gallons ofFOAM can provide 1,000 gallons ofextinguisher.

Rockwood Double Strength FOAM liquidgives you more efficient fire protection at lowercost than any other fire extinguishing agent.By mixing only 3 gallons of FOAM liquid with97 gallons of water and 900 gallons of air youget 1,000 gallons of a powerful fire-fightingmixture -- the cost o[ which, per gallon, is onlythree tenths of 1% of the cost of FOAM.

Double Strength FOAM liquid helps youimprove and economize your departmentaltraining too. The very small proportion ofFOAM liquid required to produce this extin-guishing agent permits training under actualfire conditions at negligible cost.

It was nearly four centuries ago, in the year 1588 to be exact, that one of greatestbattles for life and death was fought in the relatively narrow body of water that sep-arates England from the Continent of Europe. For it was there in the English Channelthat you wil! recall Philip II K~ng of Spain, assembled his one hundred and thirtyships that were known as the Spanish Armada, and those ships, together with some27,000 men and 2,400 pieces of artillery were gathered to do battle, to attack the islandfortress of Elizabeth I, and at that time, Philip’s collection of sea power was one ofthe greatest the world had ever known.

History records that although the forces had gathered there wer~ great in num-ber, there was some pessimism at home in Spain. The Commander was not a reallyqualified Commander. The ships were too frail and the crews were such a vast mLx-ture of men that orders had to be issued in s~x d~fferent lauguages.

N~W t~NGLAND ASSOCL~TION OF F~_~E C~I~FS, ~C. 33

Between the 29th of Jnly and the 9th of August in that year, Sir Francis Drake ofHer Majesty’s Royal Navy engaged that floating arsenal from Spain, and when thebattles were finally conclnded, wreckage of the once powel~t armada was strewnlong the shores of Scotland, the Hebrides and Northern Ireland. England had becomeMaster of the Seas.

The question was once asked of a young naval cadet at Annapolis the reason whythe Armada boasts its battle and hence control of the Seas. The young cadet’s answerwas clear, sharp and decisive. It was that the Armada lacked three ships, Leadership,Markmanship and Seamanship.

He might have said that England won the battle of the channel by employing thesesame three ships. In either case, these three qualities, to be found either in a nationor in a commnnlty, in a business, even in a Fire Department, or in one’s own personallife, contribute to its greatness. Each man exhibits to some degree these qualities in hislife, and a man who senses the full requirements of his vocation, his ca!ling, the gL~sof talent given to him by God the Father bears the marks and scars of these threeships, and they contribute to his greatness among his fellow men.

The writer of Ecclesiasticus has said: Let us praise famous men. The Lord hasapportioned to them great glory and His majesty from the beginning.

Some of these men make headlines and their names are on the lips of childrenand grandparents. These men go down in the books of history. This, we know at first-hand, from our daily experience. But then the record goes on to say that there aresome who have no remembrance; they have perished as though they have not, lived,but these were men of mercy whose rightous deeds have not been forgotten. Theirprosperity wil! remain with their descendants and their inheritance to their children’schildren. Their glory will not be blotted out. ,

These men, too, though they rarely go down in history books, still have their nameswritten on the hearts of men and women and children, for they, in the fulfilment oftheir calling, exhibited all those marks of greatness through their leadership, theirmarksmanship and their seamanship.

The sixteen men whom we honor this mornflug were men whom we must judgeas leaders among men, not in the sense that they were heroes in the public eye, butthey well may have been heroes to those men who served with them and to their ownwives and children and to those who owe their lives to their leadership.

These were men who might have said of themselves:

"I am only doing my job."

Men who possess that quality as children of God to rally others about them, asteachers of warfare, can combat one of nature’s most destructive forces. When theirtime of trial or crisis came, they proved their true greatness by the contribution theymade to life and to the good of their fellow men.

It is this kind of greatness that proves their leadership ability of those whom wehonor this morning. It was Shakespeare who said:


You’re in the best of circles...¯.. when you have entrusted your important insurance affairsto your Independent Insurance Agent... "the man youcan depend on;" He may be a neighbor, a personalfriend...’certainly a professional businessman.You know him.., he knows you and your needs.We of the Boston Insurance Group regardthe Independent Insurance Agents as valuedassociates¯ We back them with a reservoir oftechnical assistance and insurance knowl-edge through our strategically.located "LocalHome Offlcesi’ each with its network of re-’porting Branch and Service Offices¯ This pro-gram of consultation and cooperation with morethan 8,000 Independent Local Agents assures youof fast, efficient, interested service.Our policyholders know they are in the best Of circleswith their local Independent Insurance Agent...backedup by The 8ostnr~ Insurance Group.

"He is not great who is not greatly good."And, a leader among men must be good in that he knows his job and how it should

be done; he !mows his men and he know.s to whom he can. entrust certain responsibili-ties. He knows himself, his own strengths and weaknesses and will continually worktowards improving himself, towards improving his men’s performance and toward im-proving the quality of his job twenty-six hours every day.

The great leader cares not so much for what he is in others’ opinions, or what heknows himself to be. Essentially, he has a good reputation rather than great one; hebecomes great by being a good man. Men of great leadership come upon the humanscene and they work and create and give to others, always within the limits of highideals and noble purposes. Their work enriches the lives of others, while they forgetthemselves, and those who work with them know always that when the going getstough, those men who have become their leaders can be depended upon for the correct-ness of decisions.

It would seem, then, that the essential quality of real leadership comes from Godour Father, who has endowed these men with the opportnnity and the moral strength tobe great, in a loving way and with a concern for their fe!low men and translating thatlove into service.

Leadership, then, is an essential quality for true greatness, and I trust we havefound such greatness among those whom we honor this morning.

But so, too, are the marks of marksmanship, the qualities of marksmanship. Ac-curacy in one’s work is a virtue that today seems to becoming one of the fundamentalaspects of life. You and I both kuow how much there is of shoddiness in the ways ofthe world today; but, if a man has a rea! sense of calling, and if he feels the pressureand the burden to do his very best, he can accept nothing less than to reach that highgoa! of perfection in his work. The higher a man’s purpose or aim, the greater thechance that he will rise above the sea of mediocrity that might surround him.

!n the lives of truly great men, we see that their aim was always something aboveand beyond themselves. They find forgetfulness of their own difficulties and handicapsand limitations in becoming involved with the fate of other human beings. They findstrength and ability which they never suspected they had, to do great things, whenthey see a great need to set themselves above fulfilment.

Ben Franklin once said that there never was a truly great man who was not atthe same time virtuous.

I believe that would be one of the marks and scars; one has to be absolutely andundeniably opposed to anything but the best. In a word, the men whom we honor knewtheir work and they weren’t satisfied until they had reached that high goal of per-fection. Such a goa! for these men was and is the saving of human life and property.

These men had the marksmanship, the intent to f~fiffll the ultimate commitment torespect the dignity and worth of every human being and his property. In other words~the great man is one who knows the value which God has placed upon every one ofhis children. Not only are leadership and marksmanship essential qualities devoutlyto be wished in a man, but there is a third, seamanship.

The actual performance of one’s calling or vocation and flying the flag from themast of this ship is the question: Is my world a better place because I live in it,because. I served in it?

I suspect the man who boards this ship is qapable of self-sacrifice, which calls forstrong and fundamental humility. Hum~Aity is not weakness, contrary to some people’sopinions; nor is it a cringing, apologetical, under-rating of one’s self or one’s ability.The word itself comes from humus, the Latin, which means earth; hence it means"down to earth." The honest facing of the facts of their job, an honest appraisal ofwhat must be accomplished--those are the necessary things. Never exaggerate orminhnize the resnlts in Sureness and the strength and the character of any man. It isthat which we call "drive"; it is that which moves a man, not to demand headlines,but to perform his job to the very best of his ability, and then some.

On this ship, the great man disciplines himself. He expects much of himself andfrom those around him, and he practices his professional ar~ in much the same way asa pianist practices Beethoven or a baseball player swings his bat; he is prepared fora11 that is demanded of him. He is honest with himself, and he tries to be humblein acknmvledging that he is a member of a team for which he is responsible. He hasthat stage power to meet any crisis, or he is in shape to meet the demands his jobcalls him to meet.

You know the word, "crisis" in the Chinese is in two characters, not just one. Onecharacter means "danger" and the other character means "opportunity" and the menwhom we honor this day have a!! met the time of testing the crisis, as an opportunityto overcome danger. Thus, the leader lmows his job and his men and himself and isalways prepared to handle a crisis, of any danger, and the opportunity to overcomeit, whether it be one or five alarms.

Seamanship greatness is possible for any raan who has prepared himself for thestruggles and contests and trials he must face in performing his job to the very limitof his ability.

A teacher I once had in high school often remarked what power there is in manto surpass himself. This is true, by the grace, of God, for it is He who has called those~vhom we honor to become to the servants of their fellow men to mark upon their velwbeings the state of leadership, marksmanship and seamanship, that the world mightbe a better place to live in because these, men have served it.

Let us, then, praise famous men with the glory that is theirs, for these were menof mercy, whose righteous deeds have not been forgotten. Their prosperity willmain with their descendants and their children’s children; their glory will not beblotted out. Amen.

At this time, I want to remind you of the New England Division Meeting of theInternational Association of Fire Chiefs, which wi!! follow immediately after this tech-nical session.

To moderate this afternoon’s program, I have chosen Chief John Clark of theWestfield Fire Department. John has just been elected President of .the Western Mas-sachusetts Fire Chiefs’ Association. It is my pleasure to introduce to you at this timeChief John Clark of Westfield, Massachusetts, who wil! act as our Moderator thisafternoon. (Applause)

MODERATOR JOHN CLARK: Thank you, Bob. It is, indeed, a pleasure for meto serve as your Moderator here this afternoon.

The first speaker at our 44th Annual Conference is Mr. James F. Casey, Editor ofFire Engineering. Jim was appointed a New York City Fh-eman in March of 1938,and retired as a Lientenant in May of 1962, and has been with Fire Engineering eversince.

He worked as a truckman and engineman, chauffeur and pump operator in all sec-tions of the city. He did spend twelve years as a Battalion Chief’s Aide. And at hear~,he considers himself a "Truckie."

For many years, he "l~!oonlighted" as a free lance writer, and spent the lastfour years in the New York Fire Department as Editor of WNYF Magazine, the officialdepartment publication, and the head of the Graphics Unit.

As a fireman-writer, he got most personal satisfaction in co-authoring the write-upof the Aircraf± Carrier Constellation fire in the Brooklyn Navy Yard that appeared inthe April 1961 issue of the N.F.P.A. Quarterly magazine.

It is my pleasure to present Mr. James L. Casey, Editor of Fire Engineering,who will speak on the "New York City Super Pumper System." Mr. Casey! (Applause)

NEW YORK CITY SUPER PUINPER SYSTN~I

(A Slide PresenSa$ion)

by ~’ames F. Casey,

Thank you very much for the introduction. This is my third trip to THE WENT-WORTH, and I assure you I will be up here the rest of my life.

To start my talk, my subject, as you were told, is New York’s Super Pumper Sys-tem. This system was designed by William Francis Gibbs of Gibbs & Cox, a New Yorkfirm of naval architects. Back in 1936 Mr. Gibbs had designed New York’s largest fire-boat, the FIRE FIGHTER, which went into service in 1938 -- the same year, inci-dentally, that I was appointed a fireman in the New York City Fire Departraent. TheFIRE FIGHTER still !ooks the same and is going strong -- after twenty-eight yearscapable of discharging 20,000 gpm at 150 psi. Unhappily, ! !ook quite a bit differentand my pump has to a!low for about a 30 per cent slippage.

At the time he designed the FIRE FIGHTER in !936, Mr. Gibbs dreamed of highvolnme-high pressure land companies. But the lack of high capacity, light weight en-gines and large size high pressure hose, ruled out this possibility until just a fewyears ago.

At this time a high output light weight Diesel engine was developed through theefforts of the British Admiralty and was released for commercial purposes. Followingthis, U. S. naval research produced a very high pressure hose.

Gibbs & Cox then came up with plans for what amounted to a fireboat on land. TheNew York City Fire Department bought the idea, and after studies were made, l~IackTrucks, Inc. engineered and developed the Super Pumper System.

This system consists of the Snper Pumper, the Super Tender, and three SatelliteTenders that are actually somewhat oversize hose wagons, each carrying a giantwater cannon and 4--~-/-~ hose.

SUPER PUMPER (Slides 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, & 6) (Size of engine 10x4)

Tractor--l~/Iack Diesel F-715-ST 6-wheel, cab over engineHeight--l! ft. 4 inchesLength--19 ft.Width--8 ft.Wheelbase 14~- inches

Trailer--Height 10 ft. 4 inchesLength--B~ ft.Width--3 ft.

As you can see, the unit has a length of 53 feet and is not at all the monster thatnewspapers and magazines painted it a few years back. In fact, it is about the sizeof a 100-foot aerial truck, and is smaller than a lot of the box trailer trucks that roamthe streets of New York every day.

SUPER TENDER (Slides 7, 8 9, !0 & 11)

The Super Tender is the fire fighting end of the system. It consists of a tractorand semi-trailer unit, and the tractor is identical with thai used on the Super Pumperexcept that a !0,000 gpm water cannon is mounted on the chassis frame. It has a hy-draulically operated outrigger used for stability when the cannon is throwing water.The trailer can be dropped--Tractor with cannon positioned elsewhere.

The trailer is compartmented into two sections. The forward half carries auxiliaryequipment. The rear half carries 2,000 feet of 4-1/~ inch hose in a conventional flat bedarrangement. The hose was originally designed to be carried on powered reels, 80couplings, but the bulk of the couplings ruled out this possibility.

There is a ~-~/~ inch water manifold under the rear that directs water throughcheck valves to siamese connections at the sides of the trailer. Air for these valvesis provided by cylinders stored in the front compartment.

It is possible with this setup to reduce incoming water pressure from 700 psi ~osay 100 psi and supply four 2-~/~ inch hand lines fed from each side of the trailer.

THE SATELLITE (Slides 12, !3)

The three satellite tenders are exactly alike as shown here, and are of convention-al design. Each carries 2,000 feet of the 4-1A inch hose, and each is equipped with a4,000 gpm water cannon which is fed by fonr 4-1/2 inch outlets, two on each side.

THE HOSE (Slide 14)

The Super Tender and the three Satellites each carries 2,000 feet of 4-1~ inch allpolyester light weight high pressure hose. This has been tested to withstand in excessof 1,000 psi and wi!! operate at 800 psi. Each section of the hose with couplings weighs108 pounds. The friction loss per hundred feet runs about !0 psi with 1,400 gmp flowing.

PUMP ENGINE (Slide !5)

The hear~ of the system is the engine you see here (in cross section). It is about10 feet long and 4 feet h~gh. It is a Napier Deltic Model T13-37C Diesel. It has 18cylinders with opposed pistons. This motor is liquid cooled, is ignited by compression,and operates on a two-stroke cycle. A mechanically driven supercharger supplies theair.

The triangular cylinder arrangement results in a compact engine consistingstructurally of three cylinder blocks--one more than we had on conventional V-8gines. These blocks form the sides and the three crankcases and shafts--one at eachapex of the triangle.

Power is transmitted from each crankshaft to gears in a phasing gear case, whichcombine the outputs of the three shafts into a single output shaf~ that drives the pump.

The bottom shaft, incidentally, must rotate in the opposite direction of the ~woupper sha~s.

]~uel injection is by individual injection pumps feeding a single injector per cy-linder. They are those little gadgets we see here in the middle.

The engine is of the dry-sump type (there is no conventional crankcase) and itrequires both pressure and scavenging lubricating oil pumps.

Maximum power in this motor is 3,100 horsepower. Bnt it has been reduced to2,400 horsepower which is continuously available. At this output the engine operatesat 1,800 crankshaft rpm and drives the DeLaval pump through a one-to-one ratio.

Coolant for the system is ethylene glycol which is circuiated through a heat ex-changer that is cooled by wa~er bled from the first state of the big pump. Engine oilis cooled in the same ~ashion.

PUMP (Slides)

This pnmp was specially designed by De Laval Turbine, Inc. It has six impellerswhich can be operated in a three and three parallel arrangement to deliver 8,800 gpmat 350 psi. Or operated in straight series that will give 4,400 gpm at 700 psi.

In this view the pump is positioned for par’nile1 operation. Notice the ~’ransfer valve--or the stage valve, if you will. It is operated manually from a whee! on the operatingplatform which you will see later--and through a worm gear arrangement.

When the valve is moved forward, water entering this inlet is split, hall going toimpellers 1-2-3 and the other to impellers ~-5-6~ Each set of three works in series, buteach set discharges to a common manifold giving us maximum discharge of 8,800 gpmat 350 psi.

PUMP (Slid~s)

Here we have the p~mp in series arrangement. Note the changed position of thevalve.

There is now only a sirigle waterway. Water enters the inlet and flOWS to impellerone, then two, then three. From impeller three it goes out through a port in the centralchamber and into impeller four,, then five, and then six.

It leaves six and enters the discharge manifold at 700 psi with 4,400 gpm flowingif the engine is a maximum input.

INSTRUMENT PANEL (Slides) .

So much for the technical aspects. Now let us go into the practical side.

Here you see the split instrument panel, watched over. by preferably two pumpoperators who have been especially trained for the job.

The instruments on the left are for water pressures. The eight smaller ones arefor the discharge valves--one for each outlet on the manifold. That larger one on theleft is a compound gage ~for the low pressure side of the pump, and its mate, a pressuregage for the high pressure side. For normal use the pump is operated at 500 psi.

INSTRUMENT PANEL (Slides)

A!! instruments shown here relate to the pump engine--oi! pressure, water andoi! temperature, starter, throttle, and so forth. The lights you see are for warningshould some part of the engine malfunction.

Incidentally, the noise generated when this motor is running is somewhat over-whelming. So much so that the pump operator at the panel communicates to his part-ner on the operating platform by telephone. The earphones look like giant ear muffs.The phone is sell-powered.

OPERATING PLATFORM (Slides)

The third member of the pump operating team presides over this array of valvesand gates on the operating platform. Notice that there are pressure gages available

¯ for the discharge valves, four on each side, that duplicate these adjacent to ~heengine.

WATER INLETS (Slides)

The pump is designed to receive water from pressure sources such as hydrantsthrot~gh eight 4-½ inch inlets or from open waterways such as rivers or harborsthrough two 12 inch suction pipes. The pipes shown here are made from hard plasticthat is fairly light weight. Elbows are also provided. The boom takes the weight offcouplings.

Slides were then shown of fire in the Borough of Queens.

When the contract was signed for the Super Pumper and Super Tender, the news-papers made much of the fact that this system could provide streams to knock downwalls and put out fires on the 70th floor of a skyscraper.

A nozzle that discharges about 35 tons a minute can certafifly knock down a wall.But a fh’e on the 70th floor calls for a stream reach of a least 700 feet vertically.Tiffs cannot be done -- the effective range of the cannons is about 450 feet.

What the newspapers did not play up was that the Super Pumper was a mobilepumping station that offered a new, versatile and flexible too! for the tire service.

The Pumper, in addition to supplying the Super Tender and Satelhtes, can supply--at a great distance from the fire--portable monitors, turret pipes, or other appa-ratus, ladder pipes, multiple gates, and even other pumpers.

For a year before the System was put in service, the New York Fire Departmentundertook the greatest flow test on mains ever conducted, and the results wereplaced on hydrant maps that are carried to every fire. There is almost no place inthe city that the Super can’t operate off mains.

Hydrant maps also show the locations where the Super Pumper can draft water;and locations where fire boats can berth to supply the Pumper if necessary, or whereadded reach is requh-ed.

The Super Pumper and Super Tender are housed in the same quarters in theWilliamsburg section of Brooklyn, and just two blocks away from the East River.

The Satellite Tenders are strategically located in different parts of the city.Frequently they arrive at a fire before th Super Pumper and have long lines of hosestretched from a source of supply, saving precious minutes at a fire.

The System responds to second alarms in the neighborhood surrounding the SuperPumper and Tender, and to all third alarms anywhere in the city.

New York is fortunate in that it is almost completely surrounded by water. Andfortunate, too, that practically all heavy industry and commerce is !ecated near thiswater. So whenever possible, and this happens more often than not, the St~per Pumperdrafts salt water--an added dividend when you remember the water shortage thatthe city is going through.

Since last September when the Super Pumper went into service, it has had abouttwenty-five workers. At each worker it demonstrated its flexibility and versatility,and as more experience is acquired it will improve on these qualities.

The cost, incidentally, was $850,000. (Applause)

MODERATOR CLARK: Thank you, Mr. Casey, for a very interesting talk re-garding the, New York City Super Pumper Engine.

Our next speaker is Mr. Paul R. Lyons, Editor of Fireman Magazine. Mr. Lyonshas been with ~he National Fire Protection Association for more than fifteen years. Heis Secretary of the Forest Committee and the Sectional Committee on Protective Equip-merit for Fire Fighters as well as Assistant Manager of the Fire Service Department.

IvIr. Lyons is a graduate of Boston University, and has served as a commissioned~¢~ftlcer with the Corps of Engineers during World War II and he lives in Norwell,Massachusetts.

CURRENT DEVELOPMF~NTS IN FIRE PREVENTION

By Paul R. Lyons, Editer, "Fire~nen l~Iagaz~ne"

Thank you very much, Mr. Chairman. ~ have about seven or eight slides to showyou, and I hope they come out in the proper order. We didn’t have a chance to preparefor the slides just before the meeting, but I feel that you will understand them.

I do want to extend the very best wishes of the N.F.P.A. to the New EnglandAssociation of Fire Chiefs for a successful conference. We always like to come up tothese gatherings whenever we can, and certainly it is a pleasure to be with my goodIrish cousins, Casey and Brannigan.

Here is a picture of one of the most difficult fire control problems a Fire Depart-ment can meet--all the water in the world but it can’t be placed effectively on thisship fire.

This fire boat with the elevath~g platform is the WILLIAM LYON MacKENZIE ofToronto, Ontario, and this photo ties in with our program topic of "Current Develop-ments in Fire Prevention."

On the international scene, fire protection and prevention aboard ship has been ofmajor importance following the loss of life fires in the Yarmouth Castle and otherpassenger ships, as well as the very heavy losses in naval and merchant cargo ships.I think you know that the high safety standards required for United States passengerand cargo vessels have placed this country at an economic disadvantage with manyother countries which do not require these standards. However, a strong internationalmovement is under way to raise the maritime safety standards on an international

leve!. We should make special note of the fact that the U. S. shipping interests andmaritime unions are not asking for a lowering of U. S. safety standards in this eco-nomic battle but are asking that other countries improve their standards.

And this is one lesson that app!ies to fire protection at sea, on land, and in the air:our experience with fire does not permit us to erase the standards we have developedthrough the past centuries.

SLIDE 2

One simple but important development is the universal coupling designed for con-necting the fire mains of a merchant vessel either ship to ship or ship to shore. Thearrangement specified is a pair of flanged and threaded fittings; one connection for theship, with female threads corresponding to the vessel’s hydrants and fire hose, and oneshore connection provided by the local fire fighting forces with female threads to matchlocal threads. The flanges can be gasketed and bolted together quickly to permit pump-ing aboard of emergency water for fire fighting. The Coast Guard has requested theNFPA to encourage local authorities of seaports, particularly the fire service, to equipthemselves with this international shore connection, to be prepared for fu~_re fireemergencies.

I know there are a lot of landlocked sailors in the audience, but let’s swing toanother development which probably will affect many Fire Departments in the future.This is the use of data processing and other automated equipment for recording reportsof fire, fire prevention inspections, training and maintenance data, personnel records,and other administrative details.

SLIDE 3

Here are a couple of pages from the Field Incident Code book developed by theSeattle Fire Department for its data processLng system. Seattle uses key punch mach-ines, a card sorter, and an IBM accounting machine to record and analyze more than500 separate items. These pages are prepared by the Department to codify fires, spills,leaks, and other incidents demanding Fire Department response. This code book covers35 types of possible incidents, 86 types of occupancies, 51 probable causes, 54 areas oforigin, and 56 different materials subject to ignition. If you are familiar with thismachine type of accounting system, I think you will realize how quickly a Departmentcan develop the various breakdowns needed for administrative analysis as well as fortechnical analysis of fire experience. Chief Vickery in Seattle claims that this systemhas brought ten times the output with the same administrative personnel.

With respect to that, I would like to call attention to this new tentative guide forfire analysis and property classification deve!oped by the NFPA Committee on FireReporting. It probably will be severa! years before this becomes available as a stand-ard, but it now contains a numerical system which will fit in with modern types ofautomated analysis equipment as we1! as your present system.

This guide is only tentative this year, but we would appreciate your suggestionsand recommendations ~f you look it over and apply it to the operation of your localFire Department.

Since the tragic fire in the Hartford Hospital severa! years ago, many FireDepartments have been stepping up their emergency planning for hospitals, nursinghomes, and homes for the aged. This is a picture of the Spokane, Washington FireDepartment carrying out one of its practice drills for a fire or hospital evacuationemergency. Most I)epartraents make a careful approach to this sort of planning andtraining, and work closely with hospital authorities to develop an efficient system ofnotifying the fire alarm office, as well as piacement and operation of fire apparatuson the hospital ground. Within the past year or so, there have been three or fourmajor fire .emergencies in hospitals in which more than a thousand patients wereevacuated safely, primarily because each Fire Department and the hospital staff hadpracticed thoroughly on routines for handling a potential emergency si~ation.

Much attention has been given to the training of n~rses for carrying patients andusing fire extinguishers, but perhaps, the most important aspect of this planning istraining the entire hospital staff in the fire evacuation drill. Most personnel in hospitalsoperate under relatively strict discipline and are fairly we!! trained in their assign-ments. On the other hand, you are not likely to find the same type of disciplined per-sonne! in the smaller nursing homes and homes for the aged. The current edition ofthe NFPA Building Exits Code has a great deal of irfformation to guide Fire Depart-ments in developing plans for evacuating these occupancies.

Quite a few Fire Departments have asked NFPA about fire protective measures forshopping malls and centers which are springing up like dandelions across the country.

SLIDE

One of the basic problems is that many of these centers are .designed in such away that the fire apparatus cannot be placed effectively to handlefire in certain build-ings or certain parts of buildings. This is a situation that should be considered throughlocal codes and locat authorities at the time when the shopping center is being planned.

This slide shows an illustration of a center in Mountain View, California. This is inthe downtown district where the merchants opened parking lots for 700 cars in ~herear of six of these malls. Because stores and shops were on both sides of these malls,the Fire Department was able to persuade the City Council and merchants to provideautomatic sprinkler protection for the malls, and this was accomplished. However, inmany other areas, lack of Fire Department Action, or out of date and inadequate firecodes, have led to some potentially serious fire problems. The two major deficienciesin these shopping centers seem to be inadequate water supply and lack of room forthe movement and placing of apparatus so that fire fighters can get proper access to ~hebuilding.

Moving to another area which is on the borderline between fire protection and fireprevention, I would like to touch a moment on the use of aircraft for handling forestand brush fires because your Fire Departments wil! see more of this action in thefuture.

Here is one of the Beaver planes now used by the Yiaine Forest Service for wet-ting down the flanks of forest and brush fires. As you probably l~ow, aircraft andchemical fire retardants have been used to a wide extent in West Coast states for these

outdoor fires, but they are just beginning to come into use in the New England area.In the future we will probably see aircraft used much more widely in this vicinity forreconnaissance, fire control, and treating areas to minimize the spread of fire. Thereis quite a bit of danger for persons working on the gronnd in the vicinity of where oneof these planes makes its drop. This Beaver aircraft carries 150 gallons of water andthis PBY carries 1,200 gallons of water. If a fire retardant chemical is used, it is veryimportant to make sure that no one is in the path of the drop. Air-to-ground communi-cations, marking of the top side of vehicles, and bright clothing for those working onthe fire ground, are essentials for maximum safety in this operation.

SLIDE 7

To give you some idea of how rapidly these techniques are changing, the NFPAForest Committee published a book on chemicals used in fire attack on forest, grassand brush fires only two years ago. That book is now almost completely outmoded bycurrent developments, and we are preparing a whole new text on the same subjectthis year.

Let’s move now to the broad scope of fire losses across the country. Last yearbrought the usual trend. Total estimated monetary loss through fire for 1965 was !billion, 760 million dollars and more than 12,000 men, woraen, and children lost theirlives in fire. The biggest single fire loss was at the SPADAT missile tracking stationat Elgin Air Force Base in Florida. Worst loss of life in a single fire was in the crashof a DC-8 aircraft after an in-flight fire. Fifty-four persons died.

The trend is contimting tiffs year. Figures for the first five months of !966 indicatea slight drop in our total fire losses, but the loss of life by fire is higher. Worst lossof life in single fires this year has been in hotels in St. Patti, Minnesota and Boston,Massachusetts, each taking eleven lives. Biggest dollar loss fire since last Januarywas the fire at the air terminal in Burbank, California on February !3, 11.5 milliondollars.

As a quick summary then, we can say that fires are continuing to happen and thatthe role of the municipa! Fire Department is just as important as it has been in thepast hundred years. The basic problems of protecting individual communities remainthe same. Eqnally important is the need for modern legislation on fire protectionrequirements and thorough fire prevention programs carried out by Fire Departmentswithin their scope of authority.

There is no way of measuring how much the combined knowledge, persuasion,aggressiveness and dedication of Fire Departments means to the fifty United States.Probably, billions of dollars in property and many thousands of lives have been savedbecause of these efforts.

As a reflection of the important trends in fire prevention and pretection, I wouldlike to mention the recent Annua! Meeting of the National Fire Protection Associationin Chicago, this past May. Attendance of 3,000 persons at this meeting broke al! pre-vious records, and action on reports by NFPA technical committees resulted in 4!standards of the Association being revised and adopted. Let’s consider a few of thesestandards.

In the past few years we have been surprised by the growing demand on FireDepartments for the 10-volume set of the National Fire Codes. Part of the reason forthis demand is that a number of small town Fire Departments have grown to the pointwhere they need an active Fire Prevention Burean to keep up with the building-prob-lems and changes of our growing cities.

Another reason is that many communities are updating their existing fire codesand are using the NFPA standards for reference. A third reason is that certain stateshave adopted NFPA standards by reference, such as the flammable liquids code, thecodes on gases, and the National Electrical Code. As an example, Wisconsin and Illinoislast year adopted the National Standard hose thread as specified in NFPA No. 194.Both have allowed a five-year period of conversion of al! fire hose couplings to thisthread.

To meet the demand for fire protection standards and fire prevention material,our publications department last year filled 60,000 orders for !3 million publications.

Perhaps of most importance to you as Fire Chiefs of New England communities isthis year’s revised code for "Safety to Life From Fire in Buildings and Structures",commonly Imown as the "Building Exits Code" or "NWPA No. 101". As you know,this spells out the requirements for exit facilities and other fire protection in placesof asserably, educational, institutional, and other types of occupancies, and includesrecommendations on fire exit drills for each of these types of buildings. In particular,it recom~nends automatic sprinlder protection for hospitals, nursing homes, and resi-dential-custodial care institutions except those of fire resistive construction or 1-honrprotected noncombustible construction, not over one story in height. The code asadopted this year is almost completely revised from previous editions.

The second items which drew a great deal of attentio~ at the Annual Meeting wasNo. 704-M "Identification of Fire Hazards of Material". Now this is not a standard,but it is a system of identifying hazardous materials by number and by color. Numbersrange from zero, indicating practically no degree of hazard, up to 4, indicating themaximum degree of hazard. Colors t~sed are red for the fire hazards, yellow to indicatestability of the material, and blne to indicate the health hazard. Several states andindustries have adopted this system for marking materials in plant or in storage. TheFire Marshals Association of North America has urged that this systera be adopted forthe transportation of materials also, and this resulted in quite a few hours of discussionat our Annua! Meeting.

SLIDE 8

You may have followed some aspects of this controversy in "FIREMEN" maga-zine, when regulations of the Interstate Commerce Co~nmission were np for adoptionlast year. The Fire Marshals Association of North America sent a resolution to theurging that the recommendations of 704-M be adopted for transportation. The Inter-national Association of Fire Chiefs, the ~nternationa! Association of Fire Fighters, andthe International Association of Chiefs of Police supported this resolution, but afterseveral months of consideration, the ICC issued its new regulation and said that theNFPA system "although appropriate for industrial or storage locations is deemedinappropriate and impractical for the purposes of transportation..."

In this slide we see the new marking system of the ICC which will apply to al!vehicles carrying hazardous materials effectiv~ this coming September. Each markingor placard will have letters not less than 4 ~nches high in a specified color with eachelement of a letter being three quarters of an inch wide with the exception that motorvehicles carrying flammable compressed gas shall be marked in letters at least 6 incheshigh as well as with the common name of the contents. Even though the ICC hasimproved its previous system, the question still hotly contended is whether this newICC system gives enough information to Fire Department personnel when they respondto a fire or other emergency. Just last week we received a resolution from the Con-necticut Association of Fire Chiefs approving a cargo marking system similar to thatin 704-M. This will probably be a subject of discussion for some years to come, but inthe meantime all Fire Departments should know about this new mark~g system of theICC.

The fire service has shewn such a great amount of interest in the storage, handlingand transportation of hazardous material, that the NFPA is publishing a new FireProtection Guide made up specifically for Fire Department use. This will include thebooks, the manual of "Hazardous Chemicals Reactions; Flash Point Index of TradeName Liquids, the Fire Hazard Properties of Flammable Liquids, Gases, and Voia-tile Selids," and finally the Identification of F~re Hazard of Materials in No. 704-M."We expect to make these books available very shortly, and we expect wide usage ofthem by Fire Departments and Fire Prevention Bureaus.

During our Annual Meeting, the Fire Marshals Association of North Americapassed several resolutions of direct interest and importance to you. This group, as youl~ow, includes 500 ore more state, provincial, municipa!, and county Fire Marshals,and is broadly representative of the fire service and genera! public. John Clougherty,Assistant Chief of the Boston Fire Department, was elected President of the FireMarshals for the coming year.

The first resolution concerns OPERATION EDITH which stands for exit drills inthe home. It was resolved and adopted by that Association that at 8:00 p.m. local timeon Wednesday of each Fire Prevention Week, communities throughout North Americaconduct programs of practice fire e~it drills in dwellings. In certain localities this pro-gram has had very great success, and the Fire Marshals Association has asked thesupport of NFPA, the International Association of Fire Chiefs, the InternationalAssociation of Fire Fighters, and other organizations to promote exit drills in thehome on a coast to coast scale.

A second resolution dealt with model rocketry. The Fire Marshals are most con-cerned about the T_CC Class C explosive model rocket engines being used by youngstersin many areas, because these engines contain certain dangerou~ chemicals whichdeflagrate or burn rapidly. The handling and launching of rocket engines demands adultsupervision, and the Fire Marshals have requested NFPA to develop a guide or standardto encourage proper regulation of these materials.

They passed another resolution urging strict enforcement of all existing fireworkscontrol laws and regulations, and recorded its endorsement of the model state fire-works law developed by NFPA. This law serves the state’s legislation in twenty of theUrfited States, and has been found effective in reducing injuries and property loss byfireworks. But as we have pointed out in severa! issues of the Fire Journal, severe~njuries and deaths are still being caused by fireworks in states which have little orno regulations.

A fourth resolution endorsed automatic sprinkler protection fo9 all institutions andhomes caring for the aged, r~gardless of the type of construction, detection systems,or other protection.

Another major fire prevention and protection pr?blem cohfronting r~a~y FireDepartments was reflected during our Annual l~Ieeting. Basically this concerns theoperational methods and required fire protection for the high rise buildings now beingbuilt in hundreds of communities across the country. Chief Curt Volkamer of Chicago,Chief Ed McAniff of New York, and Chief Heyd of New Orleans gave an excellentpanel presentation of this subject. In essence, they agreed that the so-called high risebuildings require complete automatic sprinkler systems as we!l as standpipe protec-tion, elevators which could be controlled manually, and smoke removal equipment, ifthe fire service is going to have any chance of minimizing loss of life and property byfire in these bnildings.

At this point I would like to remind you that the NFPA is going to’hold its AmmalMeeting in the Sheraton-Boston Hotel next May, and I urge all of you to attend thesessions. I think you will find it most rewarding.

Another change yo.u should note is in Standard No. 19--"Specifications for MotorFire Apparatus". Chief Walter Carter of Lynn is Chairman of the NFPA Fire Depart-ment Equipment which this year revised this standard to recognize the pumper listingprogram now conducted by the Underwriters’ Laboratories in Chicago. As you prob-ably know, the old listing program conducted by the National Board of Fire Under-writers has been taken over by Underwriters’ Laboratories and is markedly differentfrom the program of previous year~.

The UL listing is concerned only with the performance of the pump, so it wi!!up to the purchasing Fire Department to Conduct acceptance tests on other capabilitiesof the apparatus.

Quite a few communities seem to have problems in preparing specifications forappara’~us, so the committee this year developed a companion booklet which serves asa guide for using NFPA Standard No. !9 in writing these specifications. If you areconsidering the purchase of apparatus in the near future, you ought to get a copy ofeach of these books for reference.

These items I have mentioned are only a few of the many developments now underway which relate to fire prevention and protection.

We co,rid dwell at some length on the activities of individual Fire Departments,such as dwelling inspections, school fire safety programs, and education of the generalpublic. However, you have featured all of these on your previous programs, and Ithought you would be interested in some of the broader trends.

if you want to analyze what is being accomplished by individual Departments,then drop down to our NFPA office next December .when the Fire Prevention Con-test entries are being judged. Incidentally, this year the National Fire Waste Contestformerly run by the U. S. Chamber of Commerce is being combined with the NFPAFire Prevention Contest.

MODERATOR CLARK: Our last speaker on this afternoon’s program is Mr.Francis L. Brannigan. l~r. Brannigan graduated from Manhattan College with a B.B.A.degree in 1938 and has done post-graduate work at New York Univers~’~y and the Uni-versity of Maryland. During World War II, he served as the commanding officer of theUnited States Naval Fire Fighting School, Balboa Canal Zone.

Mr. Brannigan was the former Chief of the Fire and Safety Branch of the NewYork Office of the Atomic Energy Commission, and is presently assigned to theDivision of Operational Safety in Washington, D. C.

Our speaker has also been the author of many publications and magazine articlesfor which he has been cited by the Training Officers’ Conference and the AtomicEnergy Commission.

It is my pleasure to present Mr. Francis Brannigan, who will speak on "The OneWay to Get Killed by Radiation." Mr. Brannigan! (Applause)

THE ONE WAY TO GET KILLF~D I~Y RADIATION

By Francis L. Brannigan

Nuclear Training Specialist,

United States Atomic Energy Commission

Gentlemen, we are going on with the afternoon program. I just wondered whatyou could say to people who came all the way to attend a convention, and then walkout. I am always appalled at the people who get up and wa!k out. The fact of them~i~ter is that this is a serious topic.

!t is a rather interesting fact that the accident that I propose to have happen,or propose that might happen, has never happened. Some day it may happen. It maycost the lives of a hundred firemen. When it does, there will be an investigation;yes, there will be a grand jury investigation, and it will be rather interesting be-cause, obviously, in one sense, all of the agencies involved wil! be under attack, in-cluding the Atomic Energy Commission, and it will be rather interesting, if this hasoccurred and the grand jury investigation turns up the fact that the Chief, ~he FireChief of the particular community was paid by his city to go to a meeting wherethis hazard was discussed and didn’t attend the meeting, or if he did, he didn’t doanything about the problem.

Now, that is rather a blunt statement. The fact of the matter is, there is a wayto get killed, and there is a way to take care of it.

The Fire Chief is responsible for the safety of his men. The City is responsiblefor the actions of the Fire Chief. You can al! remember the days when yon couldblunder along. The City of New York, with a very large budget, sent firemen into

danger with an all-service mask on, where the oxygen analyzer and without givingthem the proper self-contained mask equipment. This sort of thing is going to hap-pen more and more and. more, and you are going to be responsible for the profes-sional discharge of your duties, personally and official!y.

This is only the beginning. We have al! heard the doctrine that the I~ing cando no wrong. The municipality is thought to be in a charitable mood. But thosethings can go out the window, because we have many decisions about this. If youtake the money of your city or town, you have got to deliver the goods.

Here is the killer, and this is one of those things that may happen; indeed, theprobability is extremely low. But, the potential is there. This is just typical. Thisis the heart of a Cobalt 60 teletherapy unit, as it would be used in a hospital formassive radiation treatment for cancer. As you can see, it is a finely made pieceof machinery. When in use or when transported, it is transported in a massive leadcontainer. The lead is necessary to provide shielding from the gamma radiation,intense, that is forthcoming from tiffs, sufficient to burn up the cancer. It is physi-cally protected by a steel shield, but the container will not resist fire. These con-tainers are tested in the Underwriters’ Laboratories for twenty minntes, in a stan-dard fire.

We begin to put the pieces together. The item in transportation is moving, andas I said, this is just typica! of the high radiation, gamma radiation source.

In the shipping, this must be Red Label material, and the truck must be plac-arded. The difficulty there is that 95 per cent of the shipments, like this one, areintended to be put in with a needle and shoved into the buttock of some sick per-son, so that 95 per cent of the shipment present no problem at al!.

But, there are a few, and if you wil! listen to me, the few I am talldng aboutare high energy, gamma radiation sources, in lead and steel containers, whichare vulnerable to fire.

When we talk about transportation, people then start to worry about things outon the highway, for the highway is probably the most serious place. But in thisparticular matter, the high~vay is not necessarily the most serious place, becausein order to get enough heat to melt down a couple of tons of lead shielding, youhave to get a pretty good fire. You can get it out on a fire with a propane truckor something of that type.

In general, cargo truck fires on the highway wotfld not develop sufficient heat.A group of trucks are grouped together at a depot, or at a diner. The cargo goesinto a warehouse. The cargo is in a freight ear, maybe, or in the hold of a ship,or the transit shed of a pier. Or, let us say the cargo is in an airplane. If thereis a crash in any one of those situations, the possibility of the shipment being inan intense fire, sufficient to destroy the container, if that occurs and you had thispart of a cobalt teletherapy unit kicking around, this might well have as much as3,000 curies of Cobalt 60 in it, and 3,000 curies of Cobalt 60, at one foot, unshielded,will give you a radiation level of 45,000 Roentgens per hour.

Now, some of you have been to school, and you know what that means. Anordinary dose is around 600 Roentgens, and at the rate of 45,000 Roentgens perhour, how long would you have to be there to get a fatal dose? In less than a min-ute, you’ve had it. And, if you get up close enough to see what it is, you are nevergoing to survive. Furthermore, unlike the gasoline fire, you are not going to fallover dead right now. If this occurs in a fire, the only question, there, is this: Wheredoes it happen in the fire?

If we are fortunate, and it happens in the basement of the b~Iding, and thesuper-pumper fills it up with water, we have quite a bit of shielding, and we maybe alive. If it happens to be where the coffee wagon is, no.

You see, you have to stop and think about that for a while. This is one of thethings where even the Chief isn’t safe!

If we have it in a plane crash, and the CAB says: "All right, fellows; let’s seewhat’s in the airplane." They take all the parts into consideration and see whatcaused the accident.

Now, if you were out picking up the pieces of an airplane crash, you wouldprobably pick this up. In one major city, they were moving one of these from thewarehouse to the pier shed; while moving it through the city, they usually escortit. They get it down to the pier shed. And at the pier, when they put it on the pier,they say: "Thank God we got off the street of the city." And, everybody goes home.

Even on the streets of a city, the possibility is very slight. If you do have acollision and a fire, the Fire Department responds in a couple of minutes. This isnot the same as the high explosives. This is a situation of where the fire can damagea couple of tons of lead. When you have it in the warehouse, on the pier shed, inthe truck, in the plane crash, you have put together the essential elements of thedisaster, and the high gamma radiation source, the fire, is of sufficient heat tomelt the lead, and usually there is total ignorance on the part of everybody as towhat is going on.

Well, you say that you’ll take care of that. First of all, we a!! know that youcannot do everything you want to do, and you are rather hard-put in any of thetowns to tel! the citizens about these things: You hardly know, yourselves, wherethe bomldary lines are with reference to buildings, and there are problems there.Maybe the notification systems don’t work.

At the Picker x-ray fire in Cleveland, they got hold of notification to the Chief,a~d the Chief pu!led this out of his files, and this was loaded on board a ship inHoboken. I asked the group at the Coast Gnard I was talking to about this fire,what was the probability, there, where he got this thing at two o’clock in the morn-ing, he doesn’t have any idea of what he is up against; he doesn’t have any idea ofthe problem. Of course, if they got this up to Cypress, and they Imew what they hadthere, you could move in and take the next town.

There is our problem. What are you going to do about it?

Actua!ly, the gamma radiation is unique. There is no other hazard that tellsyou that it is present like the gamma radiation hazard. This building may be about

to blow up underneath us. Semebody may have painted 50,000 tons of T.N.T. in theCoffee Shop. The ticker i~ going," and it is in the last minute; there is no way inthe world that we would get warning.

We have no way of knowing whether the building is going to fall down. Aud so,there are many, many hazards that we know nothing about. The gamma radiationhazard is unique. It is sending out signals that we can detect. In other words, thehazards cannot exist without our being able to detect them, provided we tune inon it. We need a radio, or what is called a radiation detection instrument; thatis all it is. A signal is being sent.

Now, if you want to listen to the fire alarms that tune in on the frequency,all right, and don’t tell me you don’t have one.

This instrument is the one you want to tu.ue in, and it is a high-leve! radiationinstrument, not the Geiger counter, for that is a low radiation instrument. Youneed an ionization chamber. Civil Defense has distributed thol~sands of them.

How do you get one? That’s your problem. I am simply te!ling you what thehazard is. l~Iy advice to you is that any fire in the transportation situation whereyou don’t know what you have, you run out and leave it. You have a lighted gaso-line truck; well, you have no radiation hazard, and you and I know that. But, if youhave an unknown situation, if you have a truck situation, a plane crash or a cargop~ane involved, and if the situation is in the hold of a ship, on a general cargotransport, you can run into a lot of general cargo, but you can make a high-levelradiation survey before you get close up on the fire. If you find that you have aradiation hazard, you back off and get help.

The chances are that all of you could go home and never do a thing aboutand nothing wotdd happen. The probability is low. Aud that’s the difficulty aboutsome of the things one talks about with reference to transportation. You may sayto me that this has never happened. But it may happen, and when and if it doeshappen, there will be a!! kinds of investigations. The answer is right under yournose. This is the first time that a potential disaster has ever been spe!led out indetail. Frankly, this is a sort of a personal .crusade with me. A lot of people in thefire service don’t care about it. And, there are people in the transportation busi-ness who say to me:

"Look, it has never happened. So what are you worrying about?"

But, the fact of the matter is that the hazard does exist. And a couple of other~hings that are nice to know are these.

This is not the same thing as getting killed. I have told you what you need toknow along that line. These are things to keep from being foolish.

First, let me say that in Cambridge tomorrow, _~ will be giving lectures at FireHeadquarters on the problems of "Scientific Laboratories" and on Wednesday raorn-ing, the lectures will be on the subject of "Transportation of Radioactive materials"in more detail than I am talking to you about here this morning.

he will be happy to have your people there; you should have somebody from yourstaff there, and if you want to send them over to Cambridge Headquarters, theywill be welcorae and they may take advantage of the lecture program.

We also have a movie available from our film library, and Chief Gallagherhas a print available; this goes into quite some detai! on the subject.

Now, having disposed of the one major thing, let me say this. You can’t getkilled inhaling radioactive material in an accident. You may get scientific curiosity,and then you would run into all kinds of probleras. The only people who ever gotldlled, they really ate radium, day in and day out, month in and month out, foran extended period of time, and yet many of them never got killed, and just livedout normal lives and died of some other causes.

Now, let’s say you have a truck on fire on the highway, and there’s a guytrapped there. The label on the truck is "Radioactive materia!." Don’t worry aboutthe label. Go and get the guy out of the truck.

The next point that you rnn into often is the so-called leakage tanker. We haveone of these every couple of weeks. !~Iost isotope shipments look like this. Most ofthem start off in the package or bottle. This goes into a lead safe, and it is alltaped together, and packed in a can; the can is filled with paper and canned withthe regular canning machine. You can see there is a package that isn’t going tolead, in the normal course of events.

So what happens? Something else leaks into the package and leaks out, andthen the package is seen leaking, and the fellow may say: ’qYfy God" and thenhe calls somebody else in at three o’clock in the morning, and the Fire Depart-ment brings the Geiger Counter over there; well, the Geiger Counter is off scaleand you can’t get a proper reading, and the first thing thought of is that this is radia-tion emitting because the material is giving off gamma radiation and you can’tstop it, but you can reduce it.

The package can read 2 million, and yet if the Geiger Counter goes off scale,al! you can think of is that all hell will break loose, if yon think you have it spilled.But it will never kil! you. You will come out lool~ng smart, and that can be a help.

You check the counter, and the counter gets a read~g from the package, andyou measure the smear over here away from the package. Now, if you can measuresomething from the smear, you can measure the radioactive material. Follow itup, and don’t worry about it.

We sent a Ph.D. down to Baltimore one time, and he didn’t do any better. Hetold them to take a train out of the yard, and it was not a Lionel train.

Now, this is a piece of natural uranium; I could pass it around the class and youcould handle it al! day long. Yet it is a radioactive material. In any ease, that isnatural uranium. There is only one major problem with it. !t is heavy. It is theheaviest natural element. If you have a truckload of natural uranium and it getsit, it can be all over the world, deadly active material.

Now, how do you know when it is a problem? You measure for the high level ofgamma radiation--well, yon have been to radiation school, and yon know that theradiation level is going up like this (ilhi~trating) as you approach the sonree. Ifyou can get one Roentgen per hour in the street, there is no immediate need to goany further; you have got it a lot higher some place else inside the building. Youhave to know the "ins" and "outs" of this thing.

Remember one thing. The real problem is the hit, and the hazard. You can rec-ognize the label, and if the package is intact, the chances are you have no problemat all, even if the massive lead container is dropped and it cracks, which it won’tdo, but let us say it did; then you would have a radiation beam, not a field. Thatis like getting sunburned by a crack opened in the blinds; the sun is coming in,but you will never get sunburned. The same thing applies here.

The one problem is the high level gamma radiation source in a serious fire, i~a transportation facility, and the answer is to get up a procedure in your depart-ment providing, automatically, that if you have such a fire, a radiation survey willbe made.

How do you get it made? That is your problem. You are the Chief. You have thewhite hat, and you have to solve the problems. But, be sure you get a radiation surveymade by a person working with it. Then, if you find you have a radiation hazard,back off, until you get some help. If you want the Atomic Energy Commission, callour New York Office, and they will dispatch somebody to your assistance, if you arehaving a high level radiation reading.

Let us say there is a tremendous radiation shipment. You don’t have the sameproblems, because tremendous shipments don’t move in general cargo, or ordinarycargo. Everybody knows about them when they are coming into port; nothing in theworld can happen to them.

But, if you have ever been around the trucking business, you know that thethings moving by truck spend a lot more time in buildings than outside, on thehighways. The truck terminals and the warehouses are the high fire loaders. Youare up against the containers, there.

What about the containers? If the container gets a wooden overcoat, what aboutit? Well, the chief reason why nothing ever gets done aro~md the world is becausenothing has happened. In this case, if the wooden overcoat failed, it would give you afire, and even after two hours, you would just reduce the probability and you do noteliminate the hazards.

Sometimes, you can talk your brains out on the same subject. About a year agolast spring, I was saybag: Why don’t we get the ionization chamber right? And thisguy from the AEC, they send him out to tell you everything is all right, said: "Don’tworry."

Well, you know, soraetimes you do things to convince people that there is a prob-lem. Nobody will ever do it for you.

We have done everything that we possibly can, putting these situations into moviesand books, so as not to conceal the problem from you; we want you to get the in-

formation and act upon it. In raany cases, we have failed to convince people that itcan happen. The chances are, in all probability, that it won’t happen. We may liveout our ordinary lifetimes and the thing may never happen to anybody. You have toput too many things together for it, for the accident to happen.

Cobalt 60 is a high energy gamma source; you test the elements and things ofthat type; the hazard does exist in at least a small number of shipments. Fires deoccur. At the Pier 5 explosion, a fuse blew up and all of a sudden it blew up, the wholething, behind them. They search the pier. Well, they did the right thing for the wrongreason, but in any event they found two cases of alarm clocks could just as well havea Cobalt 6{) source, on the way overseas, through the port of New York.

Now, as I have said, I am going to talk a little more at length at Cambridgetomorrow; there is going to be a four-day course in the whole subject. A to Z, atNorfolk in the summer time. Every Fire Department should have one guy aroundto know the score on the subject, and remember, the executive Fire Chief can’t knoweverything, but he has to have people on his staff who do I~mow, and if you get someof your men to these courses, I will tell them everything I have been able to learnin twenty years.

I have no secrets: I know I talk too much. But if you wmfld like to have some-body from your department get some information on this subject, send him or themdown to Norfolk, as well as over to Cambridge for the lectures tomorrow andWednesday.

The high level gamma radiation source involved in the fire and unshielded, thenumber of people killed, depends upon how closely they happen to come to it, andwhere it is or where it is not, in the fire, and not on anything that you are presentlydoing, unless you have read the book and seen the movies and taken the advice givento you already.

I trust that you stand sttfficiently warned.

The chances are you will make it; the odds are in your favor. But, the fact ofthe matter is that the hazard is there, and possibly some day you will pick up thepaper and there wil! be a real first-class situation. Then, everybody will be passingall ldnds of resolutions about what should have been done.

If there is any one who wants to argue with me, all right.

QUESTION: There is trouble in notifying at all points, on a transporting job.Why can’t the AEC tel! us the destination, etc.?

MR. BRANNIGAN: First of al!, the AEC doesn’t make the shipments. Secondly,~f you do it, the City of New York has a rule that they be notified of what is shippedthrough the city, with certain levels, and they want the destination. But, the destina-tion is the least part of the problem. In other words, the notification is there, butthe gamma rays may be sent ont by th~ container. I would recommend the systemof the shipment being fiat on its face, because if a gamma radiation hazard exists,you have a radiation instrument and you bring it into the area and it will tell youthe hazard exists. That beats the daylights out of any paper work system.

There is a system with respect to New York, and I strongly recommend to NewYork that they carry this out, because the paper system doesn’t work. It doesn’twork for anything else, and I don’t tmow why we think it should work for this. Youhave to be alive to the hazard.

Suppose you know that sometime Tuesd.ay morning, there is a truck that is goingto pass throngh your town, carrying 60 Cobalt source. When you hear the word"Fire" you wonder: "Is that the truck?" Wel!, how do you !zmow? How do you findout? You go out with the instruraent. Why not do as I suggest, then, to go ont withthe instrument in the first place. Yon go where the hazard might be. Yott don’t havea serious problem. You have no problem. The container gets lost; it is a lost pieceof lead. If the container gets dropped, it is not going to break open. The only wayto get the hazard is to put the problem together, the fire and the high level radia-tion source, and the guy in the white hat should recognize that he may have thespecial hazard and make the survey.

If he has a fire in a house at three o’clock h~ the morning, he doesn’t take acopy of the census with him; this is a house, with people h~ it.

QUESTION: What about the waste materials?

MR. BRANNIGAN: Let us look at it this way. The first thing you think of whenyou say "waste" is garbage, watermelon rinds and the like, because the normalwaste is handled only with regard to economic advice; it is not worth anything.

Atomic waste is lfl~e human waste. It is handled with respect to health hazards.In other words, when you get a l~cense to use radioactive materials, tf there isgoing to be any waste, if you are going to administer radio-isotopes to this patient,he is going to urinate them out and you have got to l~aow what happens to the urine;this is a particular material where the urine has to be checked.

There are waste disposal problems. You have to show the chain by which thebnrial sites get this material. The various states have them; in fact, the State isthe only organization that does have them and the State must own the site, and theycan hire somebody to rent it, and then the waste goes back to the burial site, ~f itis the type of thing that has to be buried.

That is what is done. It does depend upon the particular hazards.

With the type of material that we use, there is no waste to dispose of; becauseit is a short-lived material, it goes out of existence; it decays away.

Most all isotopes that are used in the human body are high specific activity;therefore, they are short-lived, and they decay away, so that there is no problem at all.

Whenever you get a license, you must show the entire path of that waste; youcan’t pitch it out into the back yard, the city dump or any place like that.

CHIEF GALLAGHER: What time would a person have to get to Cambridgetomorrow morning in order to take in your lectures?

MR. BRANNIGAN: To answer your first question, I am going to lecture thereat nine o’clock tomorrow morning on the genera! subject of "Radiation" and in theafternoon at one o’clock or thereabouts on "Fires and Radiation and Other Hazardsin the Scientific Laboratories."

Let us say here is a fire in Cambridge, and it is not a pickle factory; this is abrand new AEC Scientific laboratory, scientifically built facility. I took this problemout to Stanford, and they said:

"Don’t use any water; you might endanger the electrical equipment."

Well, some place in the back of h~s head, you would think he had a better way,rather than use water to put out the fire. There is a better way, rather than usewater to put out the fire. There is a better thing than water for putting out fires.It is your knowledge. In other words, you are always looking for some magic to putout the fire, and if they haven’t got it ahead of time, you ought to use powder or C02.

In the report of a Princeton fire, they ran al! over Princeton, to get two poundsof C02 to discharge the vault about half as big as this room, and these are grownmen, and finally at six o’clock in the morning, they unloaded the problem, at Lake-burst, with one of the greatest fires, with icy roads and a tremendous run to get npthere, but it took 120 seconds to put the fire out. They had to go sixty mile to get this.

Gentlemen, you have got to have some planning, and you have got to settle theproblems ahead of time.

.~ am thinldng of this roof fire when everything below got destroyed. And yet itwas the greatest salvage when they used the foams; the building was cleaner thanwhen they started. There were all sorts of records that were salvaged, includingincome tax records and everything else, and they never lost a signature.

Yn a fire in a reactor plant in England, they sent for tons of CO2, and it is abse-lutely useless.

The main thing, as I have said, is pre-planning.

QUESTION: What is your office number at the AEC and why do we have tocall New York?

MR. BRANNIGAN: We need a central dispatching place. The people who maycome to your assistance may well come from activities in New England, but wehave to have a place for dispatching twenty-four hours a day, with some one onhand and a guard to answer the phone.

I~ODERATOR CLARK: We have Mr. Casey and Mr. Lyons here, too, Gentlemen.Are there any questions you would l~ke to ask those gentlemen, before we have toclose in order that the New England Division of the International Association of FireChiefs might hold their meeting.

CHIEF M!CHALS of Norwalk, Connecticut: ~Ir. Casey talked on the Pumperbut not the overall expense of it and the upkeep of it. Would he please touch on that?

MR. CASEY: Well, all I can say on that is that it is no more expensive to runit than anything else. The housing is no problem; you put it in the Fire House. Theregular firemen operate it, and as far as maintenance goes, you keep it up, andthat’s about it.

CHIEF MILLER of Auburn, Maine: How much time dees it take to get wateron the fire when you are called up? How leng does it take to get the suction andlay your lines?

I~IR. Casey: Fifteen minutes to a ha!! an hour, depending upon the !ocation youare in. The lines aren’t much of a problem at all. You stretch it out like any otherapparatus. You line up all of your couplings and fittings to the suction pipe. Youhave to get the boom working and pulled out. They have done it in as little asfifteen minntes and much higher than that in a few instances.

MODERATOR CLARK: Are there any other questions? If not, I want to thankyou very much for your kind attention, and I am going to turn the program overto the Chairman of the Program Committee, Chief Ulm.

PROGRANI COMMITTEE CHAIRMAN ROBERT F. ULI~I: Thank you very much,John. I also want to thank our exce!lent speakers of this afternoon.

We are going to have a New England Division Meeting of the International Asso-ciation right after this meeting; however, I have been requested to allow afew min-utes to Chief Terrezen~ of Boston, as he wants to say a few words about the Inter-national Convention which is coming to Boston in August. We would lfl~e to havethe Chief come forward at this time.

CHIEF TERREZENI of Boston: Thank you, Bob. Don’t get alarmed; I am go-ing to take only a few minutes, but you have been such an atten~ve audience thatI thought I would give you a word or two on the progress of the International Con-vention.

I want to thank your Moderator for making this possible and the Chairman ofthe Program Committee, too.

It is nice to be with you, and I want you to know that I am enjoying this Con-ference very much.

We are coming along very nicely, thanks to the cooperation of so many people,and it is really terrific. We have our problems, of course, and one problem begetsanother, and things go on, but we are making progress and I think we are going tohave a really wonderful convention in Boston.

We have over 900 rooms reserved right now. We had four hotels, originally, andtwo of them are sold out. The headquarters hotel rooms will be gone by the end ofthe month; we have been trying to hold them for this section of the country, as faras possible, but, we have to be fair with everybody, so that by the end of the monththey will be gone.

Those of you who are commuting back and forth and are quite handy, I hopethat you will by to attend every phase of the Convention. It is going to be a veryinteresting one, and the interest seems to be growing all the time.

You all know how important the Ladies’ Program is. We have put in a lot ofeffort on our Ladies’ Program, and we are trying to entwine it into the mdin pro-gram so that they can have their social activities and the men can have the busi-ness end of it.

Monday, after the Opening Ceremonies, no doubt they will go to the exhibitsand pick out a souvenir or two; then, we are going to bus them to Anthony’s Pier 4;it is called a Luncheon, but it will be a real nice dinner. We will get them back intime for the Exhibitors’ Party at night, and that is going to be a wonderful time, Iunderstand, and I am sure it will be.

On Tuesday, we are going to bus them down to Plymouth, to one of the nicestrestaurants down there, and another nice dinner. That evening, when they get backto Boston, we wil! have an old-fashioned baked bean supper, and I hope that everyone will attend that affair, because we have a good caterer. This dinner will notextend too late into the evening, because we all know how important it is for themembers to get around to the hospitality rooms, to renew acquaintances, and thisis one of the best parts of any convention. Any one who is familiar with the Shera-ton-Boston Hote!, the headquarters hotel, won’t need a compass to get around tothe hospitality rooms, because they will be on every floor.

On Wednesday morning, we will go to the Bunker Hill lYlonument and also to seeOld Ironsides. The buses for these trips will be furnished. And, in the afternoon,we wil! let everything else go for the demonstration by the exhibitors down at ourFire Academy. You fellows probably know Captain Finnegan, who is in charge ofthis demonstration, and this is what he said:

going to put on a show that they won’t forget."

The Installation and Banquet will be in the evening.

For those of you who are interested in the Sky Walk at the Prudentia!, or theDiorama across the street from the headquarters Hotel, you will find those thh~gsmost interesting.

There are tickets in the Give-Away Packet for these, and additional tickets youwill find at the Registration Desk, if any one wants them.

Just a word to the Chiefs who have been so kind to help us on our chance books--you don’t know how much we appreciate that, because it takes a lot of money,believe me, and hard work to put over an international convention. Perhaps if wehad realized what a job it would be, in the beginning, I wonder if we might havetackled it.

Mfl;e said to me: "Thanks to you and the problems you have had that you haveexpla~ued, and your personnel, we have a terrific crew, with Chief Clougherty andthe other fellows. Each year, we are going to try to make it easier for the hostChief, so that any city entertaining us later will have it a little easier."

I see Walter Carter here, and he has been very cooperative with us. It takesso many to do a good job. We do have more chance books, and we would appreciateyour getting them in.

The first prize is a $1,000 check, not a war bond but a check for $1,000. And,there are several more checks to be given in prizes for a total of $2,000. So that it isworthwhile, and you will be helping a good cause, and I hope you are all enjoyingthis Conference as much as I am. I am having a wonderful time, and I have beenlearning a few things.

I hope to see you in Boston, when we open up on the 21st of Angust, 1966. I thinkwe will even top this Conference, and that’s a lot to ask for, isn’t it? We hope todo it, fellows, because it will be on a little larger scale, and there is so much interestin Boston.

Thanks for listening te me. You are a wonderful audience! (Applause)

PROGRAM COMMITTEE CHAIRMAN ROBERT F. ULM: Thank you, Chief.am sure we will all cooperate, and we will see you all in August in Boston..

I want to thank all of the members and guests for being here this afternoon andbeing so attentive an audience. It is most gratifying to any one on a committeesuch as the Program Committee, to see such a good audience present. I hope thatwe will see such a good audience on Tuesday and Wednesday, as wel! as on Thurs-day morning for our business meeting.

This session is now adjourned.

Harry A. Shook

Thank you, Mr. Moderator. If I may, I am going to stay down on the floor, here,and do you know that sometimes I don’t think I need a microphone to be heard!

As ~ look around the audience here this morning, I am reminded of the state-merit that Jackie Gleason made to the effect that it must be heek for people whodon’t drink to get up in the morning and know that that’s as good as they’re goingto be feeling all day long! Oh, did it take that long to sink in? (Laughter)

This morning, we are going to talk about a few things that a lot of people takefor granted, and I refer to the chimneys and vents and connectors that are put in,not only in residential but industrial and commercial locations.

The chimney is usually built into the building and is ignored from that pointon. Many years ago, when we would look in a Code Book to see about chimney con-struction, it would say the chimney area would be 8x8. Period. It raight say some-thing abont intense or extremely high heat chimneys, or boiler plate stee! stacks, butthat was the extent of it at that time.

If any of you have looked at the NFPA pamphlet No. 211 recently, you wil! knowthat it is getting to be quite a good-sized booklet, and it also has a wealth of in-formation.

In the book is what I call the insurance policy for the Code Anthority. Thereis an appendix A, which lists the types of ventilating systems and chimneys thatare available in the field today.

One thought that I should like to dispe! right away is that a factory built chim-ney or venting system, as they are known, is not a cheap substitute for a masonrychimney. These have been developed because of progress in the heating industry.The higher the efficiency of the heating equipment, the bigger the problem is incarrying off the products of combustion.

We have now broken down the masonry chimneys into three classifications, really"four classifications: Residentia!, low heat, medium heat and high heat. We have steelstacks, boiler plate steel stacks, in three classifications: Low, medium and highheat.

There are venting systems that are classified as B for gas, B-W for gas and typeL for low temperature oil burning equipment.

For any of you who have never seen any of these types, I have brought one pieceof each of them with me, and they are sitting on the table in the back of the room;I am going to leave them there until after the luncheon break. ~,Please feel free tolook at them. ~’~’

I said that this chart was the insurance policy for the Code Authority. If a manwalked in for a license and saw a building official, and if he said: ’°I am installinga cruller furnace. What ldnd of chimney do I need?" the building official wouldsay either to build a masonry chimney, or come back tomorrow. In the meantime,he would search through a lot of books regarding that, and particularly this appen-dix is broken down and the man runs his finger down and when he finds the crullerfurnace, he can tell this chap if he needs a low heat chimney, either factory-built,masoury or metal.

This takes the monkey off the inspector’s back. There is no need for any guesswork. We have factory-built chimneys, in low-heat and medium-heat. There are nofactory-built chimneys in the high-heat classifications. There are steel stacks forlow, raedinm and high, and masonry for the low, medium and high heat.

I have brought some slides along. Some of them I shall run through quickly, butI do want to get you thinking along the same lines as those in the heating industryand some of the people who have sat down on the committee for No. 211 and whythis came about.

The higher the efficieucy, the tougher the job the chimney has to d~.(Slides were shown at this point.)

As I said, we call this the next generation of chimneys, because actually, thisis what they are. They don’t resemble what we already know as chimneys in theindustry today. This is the picture of the first chimney problem, when the caveman discovered fire. These two could not live t?gether in the same place.

The Indian came along and he had a hole in the top of the tepee.

In the days of old, the Knights of old had castles that were cold, and one wayto bring heat into the living quarters was to enclose it ~n heavy, masonry or stoneconstruction.

Little changes have been made since those days.

This is what we came up with, in the style of masonry work, but a single coursebrick chimney. It is a funny thing about masonry chimneys today, bu~ for everyman who builds a chimney, there is a difference in figures or the idea of how thechimney should be terrninated and what ~t ~hould be built of.

These are small chimneys, and the right location. You wil! notice that they hada chimney problem in every one of the extensions, and the extensions on top wereintended to correct the situation; actually, all they did was to compound it, because

they added more masonry to more area, to be heated up by the somewhat low tern.perature conlbustions.

As you ride around the country, you will see the picture as I have put forthin these slides. Here in one, pointed up, and plastered, and a piece of glazed tilestuck on top. This is an inside chimney. The black spots are where the plaster fell,and the green mold was actually growing because of the dampness and the con-dentation coming through tlle chimney. In some places, the wall paper is stained.The ceiling paper comes off. This is standing on the attic floor, looking down at thechimney, over one hundred years old, and this was used to burn wood, coal and oil,and because of the effect of the chimney here, the condensation washed the productsof combustion completely out; the entire chimney was cleaned inside, and they took itdown into the basement, without using a hammer one time.

Here is another one. A man was able to pull the bricks out by hand. All chim-neys should go up and out, and here is a man who didn’t believe there was waterin the product of the combustion, until he tried to go downhill, as you see here. Thisis the result of a man saying:

"All my heat is going up the chimney. If the heating contractor can’t fix it up.,!’!! fix it myself."

So he made a one hundred per cent efficient heater. The only trouble was thatwater started collecting on the floor. We had to tap in with a piece of copper tubingto drain off the water. This one doesn’t look too bad on first sight, but it has a rathersad story connected ~vith it.

Now, this is the men’s room of a restaurant. A little boy went in here, andhe was carried out. A!l the Code Books say that heating equipment should be locatedin the same room, and yet the boiler was located on the other side of this wall andthe connector came through (illustrating). There was a hand daraper, too. When theconnector was pu!led out of the chimney, it was completely plugged, and, becauseof the pressure difference in the two rooms, the products of combustion, which werenot complete, were spilling out, and the little boy walked into a lethal chamber.

Here is the old shell-type of chimney, which has been outlawed in most places,without a clean-out, and you will notice the man thought he was having rain comedown his chimney and it was actua!ly the condensatioin coraing through the brick-work. Needless to say, he didn’t leave the corrugated iron on there too long.

Now, we have some of these fellows who say:

"Why should I pay a mason $4.00 an hour, when I can do this myself?"

There are icicles at every joint here, and the next thing that happened was thatwe came along and found out that since cur single, brick chimney wasn’t so good,maybe we should put liners in it. We put a clay liner in it, but it didn’t eliminate this;we put it all the way around it, and the other thing that happened is that the humanelement now takes a hand in it; the installer or the mason. In this ease, we had acontractor who built chimneys that nobody could get a draft reading in, and onespring day, when the man started to work again, I took a look at it, and this is the

opening of the fireplace; this is the boiler flue coming down inside the fireplace, andthe Code Book says that the tiles shall be placed squarely, one upon the other, anda!l joints shall be tight, in clay mortar. This joint between the two tiles, you couldstick your finger in it; it was open all the way through.

This one is the case of a lady calling and saying:

"I have soot showing up around the base-boards in my living room."

We went out there and took out four bricks, exposed the tile work and whenI sopped this up and saw the black, I flmught the man used a used-brick for hisconstruction. Looking at it, going in towards the house, this if another course, andyou can see this black spot (indicating on slide). This happens to be just leve! at thefloor. We cracked open the tile, loaded with debris and with mortar. And, if you can’tsee this too well, this is the first joint here, and this is the corner of the tile whichwas actually 4x3, and a!l the other tiles were sitting up in the top.

Here is another case, and the poor building inspector was saying:

"What am I going to do? I can’t stay there when they lay these things up, butthese are the things that happen."

When a certain contractor couldn’t get draft readings in the new houses, hewas frantic. The Code says that the chimney shall be carried up from a solid founda-tion. But, he was in such a hurry to get the brick up from the outside, that he setthe tiles on the foundation here, and you can see the nice, cemented joint up there.This is a double wall, stee! liner, the same as the inside liner, which is being in-stalled, in the same house.

I show you another view of it, with the tile on one side, and the double wallsteel liner on the other side.

Today, we are not throwing 900 or 1,000 degrees into a chimney; the tempera-ture of modern heating equipment is down to around 600 on oi! burners, and some-thing running arotmd 425 is all right. On gas equipment, it runs 325 sometimes, andwe do not have high temperatnre going into the chimney, to get it hot and keep ithot.

Consequently, the use of the stainless steel lining flue will heat up fast, and g~veus the draft that we need for better efficiency in heating equipment.

Now, I have talked about operations, but for the last ten or twelve years, chim-neys are about fifth or sixth on the list of causes of fires. We have wanted to makesure that these installations are also fire-safe, as well as operating properly.

A coal chilnney will cause improper combustion, and soot accumulates on theinside of the chimney wall, and during a cold spell, when the burner is on for along, extended period of time, you sometimes reach the ignition temperature of thesoot and away we go!

And the funny thing about the chimney fire is that after the fire, the cnlprit stilhstands !

What goes into a chimney fire? For a moment, let us take off, which is prob-ably the predominant fuel in this area; for 100,000 BTU, we need three-quarters ofa gallon of fuel. To properly burn that, we need 800 cubic feet of a~r, and 440 cubicfeet for excess air that goes through the rest of the equipment and does the heatingjob. We come up ~vith 1320 cubic feet.

Now, whatever goes into the equipment comes out, but in a different form, carbondioxide and water vapor, and it is the job of the chimney to keep the water vapor hot,antil it gets ont of the chimney. We have sulfur dioxide, and if we allow the watervapor to condense, it will come out in the mild solution of sulfuric acid, which attacksthe mortar binder between the bricks.

We have 1125 cubic feet of nitrogen and other gases that have done the heatingjob and are riding through the equipment for a total of 1320, out.

So that we cal! it scientific bookkeeping.

The reason we need such a large proportion of air to fue! is because we are con-cerned only with the 21 per cent oxygen in the air, and this, Gentlemen is one of thehardest problems we have in the heating industry today, to convince people thatjust because the equipment might be sitting in the middle of the basement floor, theair is getting into the building to bring the proper combustion characteristics about.

Furthermore, the houses, today, are too tight. They don’t even breathe, likethe older houses did. Today, we are using poor concrete, plywood for sub-floors,weather stripping, and fully insulated houses, and the air does not always get into thehouse or the building. A lot of the heating service calls occur after eight o’clockat night, and the reason is that everybody has had dinner, and it is cold outside,and the doors are closed, the old man is in front of the boob-tube with a bottle ofjuice, mother is collapsed on the couch alongside of him, and all of a sudden, theyhave heating system problems. The service man comes on a safety call, and every-thing is like it is supposed to be, and he starts the thing up again, and there is noproblem. But, the thing is that the service man came into the house, and he let theair come in, too.

Air supply is really a problem. The chirl~neys work on gravity flow of draft,and usually, 4/100ths of an inch is the strength of it. If you have a gravity flowchimney, against some of these mechanica! monsters that they put in some of theserestaurants, and even in private homes, the exhaust fan, well, the houses are sotight that, believe me, on Wednesday, you could smell last Friday’s fish so that papagets the exhaust fan and this is going to solve his problem, but where does the aircome back, ~ you are taking it out of the building? It has to come in from some place.

Did you .ever try to walk through a restaurant door and use the handle of thedoor, when both you and the air were trying to get in? The air was trying to pushits way in, and you were trying to pull your way in. The only answer is to followthe Code Book closely and isolate the heating system completely from the rest ofthe building and bring in the air from outside. Sometimes, low chimneys cause prob-lems, and all chimneys should be above the roof line.

I have another slide on that, later.

The function of a venting system is to carry out the natural systera. They do notnecessarily have to generate a natural draft, because the equipment provides itsown draft.

On oil burning equiplnent, the chimney must provide a draft through the equip-ment, plus carrying off the products of combustion. These are the factors that mustbe considered in chimney construction, and they are taken iuto considertion whenNo. 211 was written. The input to the unit, the temperature of the flue gases, theresistance to the flow. Remember the picture I showed you, with the type of con-struction of the chimney and what it is made of, it is going to rob all the heat fromthe flue products.

Last, but not least, the height of the chimney is important. This is a cut-a-wayof one factory-built chimney, and it has a stainless steel liner, fully insulated andwith a galvanized outside casing. There are male and female couplers, so that youhave no cement, no screws, no draw-bands This man has to do it right, or the chim-ney won’t stand up. They are. made in 7-inch and 10-inch sizes, and they carry theU. L. label. Underwriters’ Laboratories has standards for safety, and this is onefor factory built chimneys.

Preferably, they take the support plate and wire it up; they install it in a teststructure, with a fire-stopped spacer, all wired up; they install the chimney andbox it in, in plywood, with one-inch clearance to the outside of the pipe. The picturethat you see, here, is as if we were standing in the basement, with the housing ontop of the roof. Down in the basement, there is a heat generating machine. Thiswould represent the heating equipment, and the thermo-coupling would be here (indi-cating). This is fired at 1,000 degrees, at 1400 and 1700 degrees, and it is shock-tested, and they will run it up to the maximum temperature and keep it there forfour hours.

The funny thing is, Gentlemen, that if any one were to subject a masonry chim-ney to this test, it couldn’t pass. The reason we can pass these rigid tests, and allmanufacturers must do it, is because of the insulating factor and the insulation thatis used in chimneys. The temperature, one inch away from the outside wall of thepipe, cannot exceed 90 degrees.

Underwriting is concerned not only with fire safety, but with structural safety.

They also test the support plate by nailing it onto the simulated floor joint andputting a hydraulic jack on top of it, and bear down enough pressure to represent fourtimes the height of a 60-foot stack.

I am sure you are familiar with the U. L. Guide Cards. The instrumen~ require-ments are also listed in tl~e gas and oil equipment list, and this is just a partial listof some of the equipment that factory-built chimneys can be installed on.

A typical installation starts from the floor, above the heating equipment, suchas the ceiling of the utility room, and goes up through the building. It is not similarto the masoury chimney, which rnust go to a solid foundation.

There are various types of support in them, in the framing.

We have No. 1, in the upper left-hand side of this slide, the support plate, or, if wehave a cathedral lining. In the Shopping Center, where a lot of suspending heatingequipment is used, the pipe can be suspended through the room. There are insulatedsections, for goinng through combustible walls safely.

Let me show you some of these terminations. This is the method of holding thehousing down on the roof, where they do not depend upon the nails going into theroof deck, but use fonr perforated iron straps, steel straps up into four corners, withbolts that hold it down. These are naris into the roof rafter, so that the wind wrilnot blow them off, thus getting chimney terminations.

Now, the Code says that all chimneys shall go three feet above the highestpoint of combustible material of the roof, two feet higher than the building, withinten feet.

Now, that is confusing, and we have this slide showing that if we come up nearthe peak, we have to be three feet here (indicating); we must be two feet abovethe ridge, or, if we are coming out closest to the eaves, we have to be two feet aboveany portion of the building within ten feet, measured horizontally. Elbows are avail-able through the offsets.

Some of the old chimneys built in New England years ago came up straight andthen out through the ridge; these can be taken down, if they are in bad shape, usingthe same space and the same holes.

This was a new building, but the architect would not allow more than one holethrough the roof. The first stack was the heating equipment. This was coming off afireplace and the two stacks going out through the roof and terminating in this twinhousing, above the roof. A quick summary of a comparison between masonry andservice chimneys are facts we should know about. The equipment is not in an "on"confusion for a great period of time, because the houses are tight, and they don’tlose much heat. The thermostat calls for heat, and the burner comes on for fiveor ten minutes, and it shuts off. So that we need a strong draft immediately. Wehave no condensation, because the steel heats up rapidly, and we do not allow theproducts of combustion to condense.

We have very little soot pried up, because it is a smooth, inside liner of chimneyand there are no rough places for it to accumulate.

We have excellent detection for combustible materials, with the proper clearance,and we have a very low fire hazard rating. There is no record of a fire ever startingof being started by an insulated factory-built chimney. Some of the big old chim-neys that we have in New England are like this. This one (showing slide) had asteel door on it, and when we opened the door we found that this man had a reputa-tion in town for selling the best smoked meats; he had two steel brackets in there.He would climb up into the attic and hang his meat in the chimney. Of course,there were eight fireplaces, and I am sure you kmow what I mean.

If we rtm into some of these restoration projects, all is not lost, because theheating equipment today has smaller flue outlets than we had years ago. In manycases, we have a five-inch outlet and we want to go into the larger chimneys;sometimes, they are five times or more larger than we need.

If this happens, the products of combustion come in and because they are sucha low temperature, they are not sufficiently hot enough to warm up the air columnin the chimney and then the brick work, and ff this is a problem, the chimney canbe lined with the double wall steel for oi!, or tight beam for gas. It is not a difficultjob; it is not an expensive job, and you would not be out of line Jf you required anold masonry chimney to have a separate liner for the heating equipment.

And, this is the man who has just finished the job (showing slide); he is finallysmiling; even though he is dirty, he finally solved the problem that he had beenliving with for five years.

Here is a chimney (showing slide) and the outside had been plastered sev-eral times, with a plaster-coated cement; you could see the water-leaking and theliner has finally been installed.

The chimney can be used on frame houses, pre-standing fireplaces on shell pipe,the masonry type of fireplaces that might be in bad shape, they can take the old chim-ney down to the top of the smoke chamber and put on the anchor plate and run thechimney above the roof.

You know, a lot of houses were built right after the war that did not have fire-places installed in them, and there are manufacturers of shell-type furnaces whichdo not require a solid footing or foundation. Al! they do is put down a course of cementblock, a course of fire brick, set the shell on top, and they brick or panel around it,and then use a factory-built chimney above, and this does not exceed the gross load-ing of the floor joints.

As you were informed earlier here today, the heating equipment that we havetoday is highly efficient, and we like to blame the heating equipment manufacturersbecause of our problems sometimes. I am sure there are some in the audience whoremember the days of the wood stove and the fireplace and the coal stove, and on thefirst cold day in September, you would take a piece of newspaper, crumble it up,shove it up the chimney and light a raatch, and, after you did that, you could startthe stove a-going. When you started the stove, it usually kept going all year long,even the coal furnaces would be lit up, and at night, if we didn’t want heat upstairs,we would bank the furnace, but there was always heat going np the smoke pipeand into the chimney, keeping it hot. When we needed the draft, all right.

We do not have that consideration any more, because it is thermostatically con-trolled, with the highly efficient heating equipment.

When you go back and ride around the country as I do, which is obvious, takingpictures of chimneys on the outside, and you think about it a l~ttle bit, Phamplet No.211, which is also in Volume ~V of the National Fire Code, and I believe it is Seefion1 in the Handbook of F~re Protection, will give you a lot of answers, safe answers,tried and tested and proved, that perhaps the masonry chimney, as beautiful as itis, as lovely as they can be built, may not always be the answer to the ventingproblem.

We want to make sure that our installations are safe, and this is the reasonfor development of this type of Code.

I am quite frequently called to go out on service calls, which I am very happy todo. If you should have a problem in your area, please feel free to contact me, andwe will go out and make the inspections. Nobody has to know who I am. When wetake a look at the job, then we will go down the street and have a cup of coffee, andI will tell you what ! think. You know, I do have a tool box and coveralls in the car,and I do travel.

Thank you very much, and I think I am within two and a half minutes of thetime that was given to me! (Applause)

MODERATOR CHAMPION: Thank you very much, Mr. Shook, for that very in-teresting talk.

Our next speaker is Mr. Donald L. Drumm. mr. Drumm is a graduate of Buck-ne!l University with a B.S. Degree in Civil Engineering and he holds a professionalengineer’s license in Pennsylvania.

He entered the employ of the National Board of Fire Underwriters, now theAmerican Insurance Association, in 1940, as a field engineer, and then supervisoryengineer. In 1959, mr. Drumm was appointed Assistance Chief Engineer.

During World War !I, he spent three and a half years in the Air Force, be-ginning in 1942, and now holds the rank of Lieutenant Colonel in the United StatesAir Force Reserve (Retired).

His present duties include supervision over and assignment of field engineers inthe New York office.

May I present l~Ir. Donald L. Drumm, who will speak on "The Fire Chief andHis Responsibflties."

It is a rea! pleasure for me to atend your 44th Annual Conference here at Went-worth-by-the-Sea. In fact, I’m like the firefly who got caught in a power lawn mowerand had his "flasher" cut off--delighted, no end.

As you know, the American Insurance Association is the successor to the oldNational Board of Fire Underwriters and the Association of Casualty and SuretyCompanies. Our new Engineering and Safety Department is continuing the engineer-ing and safety work of the two previous organizations, with two major exceptions.First, we no longer publish standards which are available from another organization(I have i~ mind specifically ~he NBFU Standards, such as No. 19, which can be oh-

rained from the National Fire Protection Association). Second, the pumper listingprogram is now being handled by Under~vriters Laboratories, Inc.; if any Chief thathas received a pumper tested under the new certification program (effective June 1,1965), has any comments or suggestions, I know that the Laboratories would bepleased to receive them.

I feel sure that most if not all of you are somewhat familiar with the municipalfire protection surveys that have been made for so many years, not only in the largercities by our organization but in the smaller communities by the local rating bureaus(The New Hampshire Board of Fire Underwriters in New Hampshire and the NewEngland Insurance Rating Association in the remainder of New England).

The surveys include thorough studies of the water supply; fire department; firealarm system; fire prevention, building and electrical regulations and their enforce-ment; and a study of structural conditions in order to determine the conflagrationpotential within the commuhity.

Each of you as a Fire Chief, is concerned specifically with the Fire Department,and in most cases also with fire alarm and fire prevention. Before discussing yourresponsibilities in those areas, I would like to show a film which portrays a fireprotection survey and which covers some of the points that I will mention later on.

The matter of "negligence" on the part of a Fire Department has appeared inthe courts quite a number of times, a few of them quite recently. In one case theFire Department was held to have inadequate equipment to handle the fire in ques-tion. In another instance the courts awarded $!48,000 to the widow of a fireman whodied while wearing a particular type gas mask; the charge was that the Departmenthad failed to provide suitable breathing apparatus. In still another instance, twe firecompanies argued as to which one was supposed to handle the situation at hand, andconsiderable loss occurred; the owner of the property brought suit for damages, andin this particular case settlement was made out of court. A few days ago, the widowof a fireman filed a $!,000,000 negligence claim against a city, charging that herhusband was crushed to death because of an unsafe ladder truck.

In view of the foregoing, and considering that s~milar legal proceedings will nodoubt occur in the future, I felt that it would be well for us to look briefly at someof the items which are the responsibility ef the Chief. You may not find these pointsspelled out in detail in any law or ordinance but they certainly are implied by thebroad powers or duties outlined in municipal charters. They apply to both paid andvolunteer Departments.

Admi~s~ra$~ve I~a~ters. These include the adoption of requirements for enlist-ment in order to obtain the most desirable personnel; requirements for promotiun,to better assure that the best qualified men are moved into positions of leadershipand authority; and requirements for an annt~.al medical examination, to make surethat each individual is in good health and able to do his job. Also the adoptiun ofsuitable rules and regulations to provide for proper guidance of all members of theDepartment is important.

lYfanpower. You as Chief can do little about obtaining additional men, unless fundsneeded for salaries are provided by your city government. However, you can andshould use what men you have to best advantage. How? (1) Spread the vacationperiods over all or most of the year; (2) a!low as few men on vacation at a time

as is necessary; (3) keep the shift strength balanced; and (4) use the off-shift mem-bers judiciously; also don’t be embarrassed to call upon outside aid where such isavailable. In volunteer Departments, arrange to have a few men sleep at each sta-tion on a rotation basis; this will help to get into action quickly at night.

Companies. The need for additional engine and/or ladder companies because ofgrowth of the community, whether due to annexation or increased development, shouldbe determined. Perhaps yon as Chief cannot actually establish addi~tona! companies.but the need for them should be recognized and brought to the attention of yoursuperior, the Mayor, City lYfanager, or whoever he may be.

In some instances, careful study may show that certain stations may be com-bined (in other words you may have an excess of companies over what the AIA orthe Bttreau would recommend); however, many times a complete station relocationmay be needed in order to do this. In any event it is suggested that you obtain adviceand suggestions from the Rating Bureau or the AIA before doing anything alongthis line.

Apparat~s and Eq~fipmen~. It is suggested that apparatus be replaced accordingto a regular program so that all do not become old at the same time and therebycreate the need for a huge capital expenditure at once. Though funds may not beavailable for new fire apparatus, it is necessary that emergency vehicles be kept ingood repair. It is very embarrassing for a piece of apparatus to break down en routeto or while working at a fire; besides, failure of a piece at a fire could have seriousconsequences, even los~ of life. Adequate maintenance, including annual tests ofpumpers, is a must.

As to equipment, a good workman cannot do a good job without suitable tools--neither can a fireman. It is suggested that you check the equip~nent on your apparatusagainst the lists of recommended equipment in NFPA No. 19 (Specifications for~Iotor Fire Apparatus). If you are short, try to rectify the inadequacy.

Also you must have an adequate amount of hose. Here again, good maintenance,including annual tests to at least 250 psi, is a necessity. Burst lengths of hose at afire do not create a good impression in the eyes of the public. ~ake sure that youhave suitabl~ arrangements for refueling apparatus; at stations fill the apparatusoutside and use safety cans for carrying fuel to apparatus at fires.

Training. This is most important. Proper and adequate facilities cost money,but remember, they do not have to be provided all at one time. Take it step by stepand the financial load can be spread over a number of years, if such is necessary.The first move is to obtain a site, which should be of ample size and so located thateventual use, including the employment of smoke and water, will not be cause forcomplaints by the citizens. After the site has been obtained, you can ~hen build upthe facilitie~ that are needed.

Oil pits can be dug and a junked tank for flammable liquid fire can be obtained,both at lost cost. As for a tower, why not build one of four telephone poles for tem-porary use until a more suitable one can be provided. These are only a few ideas--you probably have many more.

Even without suitable facilities, much training can be carried on.

Classroom work and practice in the use of many items of equipment can be donein quarters. Building inspections by company members and use of the informationobtained for pro-fire planning is important. Obtain and show films of appropriatesubject matter. Have people from local industries lecture to your classes on subjectswith which they are familiar and which firemen should know about. What about han-dling fire involving radioactive materials? After a large fire there should be a cri-tique, at least by officers, to determine if there were any shortcomings in operations,and if so, how the job could have been better handled; in other words, learn fromexperience.

Response So Alarms. When the alarm sounds is not the time to decide which com-panies should be pro-determined for all areas of the city and set forth in runningcards or other suitable arrangement. Make sure that the response decided upon isadequate; as the saying goes, don’t send a boy to do a man’s job.

Operations en ~he Fire Ground. Good, modern fire methods should have beentaught in the training program. Put them to work for you. The laying of back-uplines, connecting to sprhLkler and standpipe systems, ventilation, salvage work, are aHtried and true operations.

Records. Good records should be kept of all important matters, personnel, appa-ratus, hose, equipment inventory, repairs to apparatus; but not jt~st for the sake ofpaper work. Study them and often they may tell you somet!~ing. For example, ifthe maintenance record for a particular piece shows frequent repairs, this could in-dicate that the piece should be replaced. Again, a stt~dy of hose records may showthat a particular brand of hose is not giving good service; if so, you know what to do.

An annual report to the Mayor or City Manager can be an effective document.It should show not only what the Department did during ~he year, but should includesome evaluation of your Department and a statement or statements as to what isneeded so the Department can provide the protection that is expected.

It has taken quite a few minutes to point out at least some of he Chief’s respon-sibilities insofar as the Fire Department is concerned. Time does not permit a sim-ilar discussion of fire alarm and fire prevention matters, but much of the same ad-ministrative approach would apply. For example, perhaps lack of sufficient fundswil! not permit expansion of the fire alarm system, but recommended tests can bemade, and the system can be kept in good operating condition.

As for fire prevention, make sure that your community has adequate regula-tions to provide for the proper control of hazardous material and processes; the A~Ahas a model Fire Prevention Code, which in many states can be adopted by reference.

To conclude, recognize your needs, fight to obtain them, and do the best youcan with what you have. If these principles are fo!lowed, I doubt that any Chiefcould be charged with negligence, but I do know that fire protection in your com-m~mity will be improved. (Applause)

MODERATOR CHAMPION: Thank you very much, Mr. Drumm.

MR. AI~IOS: Moderator Champion, Ladies and Gentlemen. We are all here sell-ing safety today, and that includes my industry, your industry and many other fac-tors that are in our market. The electrical industry has probably outstripped manyother industries in developing safety controls and measures, in order to get its productson the market.

Many of the people involved, who accept the very boundaries, perimeters, thevarious manufacturers and users and developers of electrical energy, are our ownprofessional group, the organization known as the International Association of E1ec-trica! Inspectors, as well as our own professional group of electrica! engineers,the Petroleum Chemical and employing groups, the National Electrical l~Ianufac-turers Association, which set certain standards for which various equipment is de--signed to meet hazardous locations and other various electrical equipment to be used.

Of conrse, the Underwriters Laboratories have a segment which set perimetersfor design and usage of such equipment. The electrical ~mion groups, throughout thedevelopment of their apprentice trade organization, have certain scholastic require-merits for their apprentice people, teaching them how to install the equipment prop-erly for safety.

Then, too, the electrical inspectors, the men with whom in your cities and townsyou work closely, are right on hand, and between you two, you can set certain re-quirements and certain standards for various occupancies.

The very ground work, the foundation for which this electrical inspector developshis own electrical code and as a measurement for determining whether such-and-such is a safe location, is the electrica! code.

Granted, this is a minimum, but it is the ground work from which nearly a!!development comes.

In your own communities, you are electrical inspectors, and your inspector organ-ization may up-grade these standards. That is your prerogative. But, the NEC pro-vides a yardstick on which to develop the standards, the local codes.

We have a short 25-minute film which has been developed and put together bythe Bureau of ~ines; it is an excellent film, both from the standpoint of giving youa few hints, in case you have to go out and analyze an explosion or a fire, the originof the fire, and contrary to what our wives might think that we are all living JohnnyDollars, with a big expense account and a blonde in every township, there are a fewbasic fundamentals outlined in this film, which you can actua!ly use to analyze theorigin of a fire.

After we have finished with the film, we will go through some basic tenets of theNational Electrical Code, with a demonstration of dusts, and I want to assure youthat this will be al! in time to hit the big clam bake before it is all gone.

(The film above referred to was then shown.)

And now, I should like to go through with you some of the basic tenets set upby the Nationa! Electric Code, which designates hazardous occupations, and howthey are classified.

Later, you will find at the back of the room, brochures which are excerpts fromthe Nationa! Electric Code, dealing with Article 500 to 517, and dealing with hazard-ous areas, garages and the like. Also, in the front of the book, you will find one ofthe most complete listings of hazardous mixtures and compolmds I have found any-where, all gathered together in one area which you can readily refer to. You willalso find the typical solutions and compounds used in the industry today, as well asignition temperatures, and so forth.

Basically, the National Electric Code set up two different categories. One recog-nized hazardous areas in which faulty gases are involved, and the second one dealtwith dusts.

In the Volatile Gases Section, they further break it down into four groups, andthere again, it is depending upon the degree of hazard the gas provides.

The gaseous hazards are referred to as Class 1, and this is further broken downinto (a) which deals with a set line and (b) hydrogen or gases or vapors of equiva-lent hazard, such as manufactured gas, and (c) ethyl ether, ethylene and cyclopro-pane, and group (d), gasoline, naphtha, benzene, butane, propane, alcohol, acetate,benzol, laquer solvent vapors, natural gas.

Class 1 group (d) is not nearly as "beefed" up as the requirement required tocontain the acetylene explosions. The threadings are fewer. In an examination, theyreferred to having five threads engaged in the film. Mos~ manufacturrs put togetherat least seven threads, a screw cover, or the threading that goes onto the hub forconduit, thus insuring that the wire man make the installation.

When we deal with hazardous locations, A, and B, there wi!! be at leas~ twelvethreads to a cover, and they are very fine, so that there is a much greater frictionor control surfaces between the cover and the body.

In the groun:!-joined installation, as the film showed, this tolerance between thecover and the body is already to f~fteen ten-thousands. You can see if a wire manshould gouge this surface with a screw driver or bits of sand or dirt adhere to theoily surface, the entire installation is really negated. There is no such thing, youknow, as a partially pregnant woman. The same is true of an installation for elec-trical use. It is just not half-safe.

The other category is Class II, Corabu~tible Dusts, group E, being the most haz-ardous, explosive and conductive metallic dusts, including ah~minum, magnesiumand their commercial alloys; group F, carbon black, coal or coke dust; Group G,flour, starch, grain dusts.

The design of electrical equipment as an example, and I wKl touch on it quickly,is quite complex. It is just not a matter of employing a molten batch of iron, becausestresses are developed, and they take the shape of a sphere, pushing out on all sidesin equal directions and various strains are set up within the rectangle box. We haveall of these pressures here. We actually have a sheer effect set up in the variousboxes. When we use this, this determines to a great degree, how thick the walls shallbe ~ubject to a safety factor of 4. For example, a small fixture is demonstrated inthe film, normally using petroleum derivatives as the gas, and that wi!l develop 75pounds per square inch pressure, but underwriters require that we put it on a waterte~t, and have it subjected to 280 pounds of pressure, to see that the glass wil! standit, and the joints do not leak. Incidentally, the glass is noted, on which explosivesoccurred, and tests are made, at least in our laboratory, up to 800-pounds persquare inch.

Two methods are common in manufacturing. One is the ground joint, and theother is the threaded arrangement. Now, you might rattle the box, and turn to yourfriend and say that it is poor equlpraent, but actually, it was designed in that manner.It was a sloppy, precise fit, the point being that when the explosion occurs within ajunct;.on box, it forces the thread surfaces, and this forces the flame path all aroundthe circumference of the cover. In reality, instead of having a flame path ~/~" orYa" wide, we have a flame on a small junction, as much as 4-feet.

Also, from the safety factor, the electrical inspector, when you have a groundjoint installation, there may be the sand, but totally it looks perfectly satisfactory, butwhen a threaded junction box is used immediately, if the cover is down, you knowyou have a safe installation; otherwise, it is not quite apparent.

This one has been shown in the film, and as I mentioned, the gas is constricted.No box used in hazardous locations completely contains an explosion; all it doesis restrict the speed of the explosion to the degree the hot gases are cooled, andmoving through the construction until it is cold down to the degree that it does notignite the surrounding atmosphere, and it is no greater than 80 per cent of the igni-tion gase~ to be used.

Explosive l~mits of various gases and atmospheres are quite interesting. Actu-ally, in acetylene, which is in Group A, as an example, from 2V2 per cent mixtureup to 80 per cent mixture, you would have an explosive atmosphere; hydrogen, from4 per cent to 75 per cent. Group C, such as in an operating room, a mixture of 1.85up to 36, and anyth~g above that, such as when your wife floods the automobile, it ~stoo rich. ~n order to get ~hat, it had to go through the gray area. Group D, gasoline,from about 1.3 to 6 per cent.

I quite often t ~tfink, especially in the summer time, of people who commonlywill store turpentine in the basement or garage, and maybe you have washed outa paint brush, with a cigarett~ hanging from your lips. If you wKl refer to the table,turpentine has no upper explosive limits; it ignites at about 4 per cent mixture.

Here is a typical explosion-proof, so called, mixture for use in C!ass I locations,hazardous gases. Our manufacturer is typica! of all others. Here, we use both typesof flame pattern, a ground joint between the gla~s and the part, here, made of metal,and the threading, in which we put the canopy down over it, and also, the manner inwhich we sea! the lamp receptacle from the rest of the conduit system.

There is a very great misconception of dealing with hazardous locations. One isthat if you buy a fixture which costs $50.00 and you use it in a dusty location, thisis perfectly satisfactory, but then this fixture is worth maybe $10.00 or $!2.00 only.You will find this to be true with the processing people, but the expensive one is notthe bargain because this fixture, as I pointed, out in the different categories, is de-signed for a different operation.

When we dea! with hazardous gases, we are designing a fixture or a box to con-tain the explosion, and it is brought about in the conduit system.

When we deal with dust locations, we are designing for exterior temperatures.Here, the fixture cannot operate a surface greater than 165 degrees centigrade. Weare worried about seeing that the operating temperature of the equipment does notrise high enough to cause charring.

Coming from the mid-west, I have talked with people who have surveyed grainelevator explosions, and one man told me of seven separate explosions. The firstone explodes and it is relatively rather minor, and there is more dust in circula-tion, off the beams and into the atmosphere. If you are alert, you have plenty oftime to get to the chute or the window and get out.

A third fixture which was demonstrated by the exploding of the gas, by the so-called vapor types of installations. This is one of the greater misnomers perpetratedupon the electrical industry. Every time this light fixture is turned out, it heats upand the air, the atmosphere in that fixture expands and then sends out through theground joints or the threaded joints, into the atmosphere. When you turn that fixtureover, the air within the conduit system comes do~-n and sucks in the hazardous va-pors. Consequently, we want a fixture that wil! contain the explosion.

We use the so-called gasketed and enc!osed fixture, and the glass is not thickenough sometimes and the joints are not designed to contain the explosion; conse-quently, it ernpts. It is only satisfactory when you have dusty, dirty locations, nothaving a hazardous connotation.

The Bureau of l~Iines man referred to a seal A seal is one of the most expensiveitems placed in a conduit system. A sea! is nothing more than a barrier, built intoa conduit system, around a piece of operating equipment, such as a motor controlor a push-button or starters for the operation of motors. They are also used to seala hazardous area off from a non-hazardous area. We find that we seil far more sealsthan sealing compound. You can go into the local service s~afion sometime in the

future, unscrew the cover and take a look at the seal; you will find that if it con-tarns anything, it may contain beeswax, plaster of Paris or most anything. I oncemet a fellow in Arkansas who used beeswax and he said, very siraply, that all hehad to do was to put a torch on the seal, and everything was okay.

Actually, you are prostituting the entire electrical system, because the sea! ismade of, among other things, glycerine, and it sets up very hard; it actually expands,as opposed to plaster of Paris, which will shrink. Yes, it expands to the degree thatyou cannot dig it ou.t.

We may have a hazardous area, with the controls and everything, and yet unlesswe placed a seal at the barrier, we can have an arc within the system and it comesout here and it can blow the cover off and injure personnel because here is anotherhazard.

The ~ea! is a little fitting that goes into the conduit system. It is built with as-bestos packing, which is in a solution of water, setting up in twenty or thirty min-utes, and it sets up hard in the system. It prevents the pressure. The same thingoccurs within yonr automobile; as the piston presses the gasoline vapors, they buildup power. Some cases, f have seen them opened up by the explosive pressures.During the question period later, we can talk abont these pressures.

Now, I should l~ke to demonstrate for you something that we don’t run into everyday, especially in the northeast. So the tmowledge that exists about some of the haz-ards of every-day dusts is not quite so common. You all know that flour and dustmay explode. But, did you know that pecan dust is extremely hazardous? Also~ drymustard does a fine job, as well as cocoa and some of the other things that ~ willshow you here.

In this case, this lucite cylinder is to represent only a room, an area in whichyou would have hazardous dusts. This little micron wire is nothing more than some-thing similar to that used in the filament of a !~ght or a heating element. It onlyreaches a temperature of approximately 900 degrees.

Now, this gentleman back here, dragging on the cigarette, reaches a tempera-ture of 1150 degrees. Here, ~ put a piece of paper, as a convenient rupturing dia-phram, below the dust, across this heated element.

Let us try some of this Coleman’s mustard (demonstrating). I guess you canwell anticipate that we don’t have nearly as many explosions as we could have, de-pending upon the atmospheric conditions, the raoisture in the air and other uncon-trollable conditions. We wi!l try this mustard once more (demonstrath~g).

Let us now try the corn shell dust. You have all heard this old cliche: "Back tothe drawing board!" Literally, this happened. ! was talking with a group of pro-fessional engineers one evening in St. Louis, and a gentleman had done some workfor one of the companies there, and he asked me if pecan shell dust would explode.We had never tr~ed it. We left thv meeting and went over to the company and broughtback a sample of pecan she!l dust. He had just designed a job~ using the standardfixtures, of the type you would find in warehousing, and had just completed thisnew addition; so, we thought we would try it. We did, and it was literally back to

the drawing board. Incidentally, we made the same demonstration with mr. Finstoa,with no smoking in the establishment; yet he had been going on for a number ofyears, making pecan shell dust and never had an explosion.

This is a unique sample called Bentone, a clay actually scouped up in Utah,and shipped to the National Lead Company in St. Louis. This is a consistency similarto pumice; the more you rub it between your fingers, the slicker it gets. NationalLead Company takes this, pulverizes it, cleans it and adds a sterate to it; then thefinished product goes into grease. This is the differential in the transmission of yourautomobile, really; petroleum with a lot of dirt mixed in it which provides the fillerand gives the grease the consistency and stiffness, so to speak, that it has.

The chief electrician who called me to bring my ldt over had been told by hisNew York chemist that they have a hazardous condition; it is an old building,we tried a sample. Immediately, before his local Fire Chief and his insurance manfound out, he began to get the proper equipment in his manu~facturing area.

Let me try one more experiment, aluminum dust, which is the most hazardous,in the dust group. Incidentally, i~ there are any of you who would like to try yourown hand, here, be my guests. (Demonstration.)

This concludes our demonstration. ~f there are any questions, I shal! be happyto try to answer them. (Applause)

MODERATOR CHAMPION: We have one more speaker scheduled for this morn-ing, and I would ask your indulgence for five minutes only; we are really ahead ofschedule, as it is only 11:35 now. Thank you very much, Mr. Amos and Mr. Morris,for conducting the demonstrations, and for the fine talk on "Flame Propagation."

Our next speaker actually needs no introduction; all of you know him. He isChief Adrian ~eyers of the Grand Rapids Fire Department, and he is currently thePresident of the International Association of Fire Chiefs. It is my pleasure to presentChief Meyers to you at this time! (Applause)

CHIEF ADRIAN ~EYERS, PRESIDENT of the INTERNATIONAL ASSOCIATIONOF FIRE CHIEFS: Thank you, Mr. 1Vfoderator. And may I give you the greetingsof the Internationa! Association of l~ire Chiefs for your meeting here, and thank youat this time. I am leaving shortly after luncheon. Both Mrs. !~eyers and I haveenjoyed ourselves immensely.

~ spoke to some of you yesterday. You know that the International Associationof Fire Chiefs has made quite a few changes. We want to become a service group.We want to give you the services necessary to assist you in your problems.

One of the Committees that we have organized is the Committee on Public Re-lations. This committee’s purpose is to work with all groups, and in addition to that,we have the disparity program, where the police are trying to get more too’heythan the fire service, and this, we are fighting. You must understand this: Someof the problems that we have are of our own making, perhaps because of ~nisunder-standing. We have this problem of disparity and it needs bargaining. I believe that)everybody has the right to bargain. I do not state who should be bargained for,where, why or how. That is the problem for the Chief, and he must fight and he mustfight for it al! the time.

You must have the understanding in all of these things. I think that most of theproblems that we have today, which really come under this problem of bargaining,and yet some of which were put through the legislatures are because of mi_sunder-standing. Many problems were created because we did not take the time to studythem. But, if you will take the time to study your law, I don’t think it is quite asbad as you might think it is.

I don’t want my people to tell me what to do, and they wouldn’t. So if you will sitdown and figure ways and means to work it out with them, you can solve theseproblems. We have these problems, so let us understand them. Let us read our laws.Let us sit down and bargain with our people before they have to go to the City Man-ager or the Governor or whatever form of service you have in your areas. Let usdiscuss our common problems with these people. Let us make them understand thatthey should talk to us first, and then go on from there. This is bargaining, and youhave got it, and you are going to live with it. You are going to have to work it out,so let us understand it.

It is a pleasure for me to be here today and to talk to you, yes, just to bringthese few words to you. I hope that you will all think about it.

May you have a most successful Conference here in this beauti~u! spot! Thankyou very lnuch! (Applause)

MODERATOR CHAMPION: Thank you, Chief Meyers. On behalf of the NewEngland Association of Fire Chiefs, ~[ would extend our deep appreciation to al! ofour speakers who have participated in this morning’s session. I will now turn themeeting back to Chief Bob Ulm.

.PROGRAM COMMITTEE CHAIRMAN ROBERT F. ULM: Thank you, Walter, forthe fine job you have done here this morning as Moderator of our program.

Many thanks to our speakers, and to you, the audience, for being so attentivehere this morning.

We are all due to be down to the clam bake at twelve o’clock.

Then, this afternoon, we will have only two speakers, as ~ mentioned to you before,because we are going to have the Bathing Beauty" Contest at four-thirty down at thePool.

Be here promptly at two o’clock for the afternoon program, so that we may gothrough with our program and then enjoy the Bathing Beauty Contest after it is over.

This session is now adjourned.

Firemen are very important to all of us. A previous speaker at a group like thiswas a volunteer fireman, so he fitted right into the group. ~ ca~mot claim ~o be avolunteer fireman, but if you do let people in by marriage, I think ~ may qualify,because my brother-in-law is, or was, at least, a Chief in the South Lancaster FireDepartment in Massachusetts. Some of you may know him~ Jim Bond. So that ifyou will let me in, by marriage, I am "in."

The subject matter of my talk interests me a great deal, because we are inter-ested in safety. I am interested in your safety and the safety of your men, and I aminterested in the safety of all people who make any use of or contact in any waythese chemicals which we call pesticides. We might use a broader term, agricul~ura!chemicals, aetually, because by that term you include al! the fertilizers, as wellas the pesticides and many other chemicals that are used on farms or are used inways which are related to agriculture, in many instances.

Of course, you may say that we are using pesticides for a great deal ~f thebrush-killing work, and in many ways that we hadn’t thought of before, it is becom-ing particularly important.

I have passed out a sheet, which most of you have, now, I think, to illustratewhat we mean by the term "pestieide." So many people do not really realize thatthe word "pesticide" as it has come to be used in the past four or five years, coversa great variety of chemicals, and uses of chemicals. That sheet is se!~-explanatoryand indicates so very easily what I mean by that.

There has been a great deal of controversy in the last few years, concerning theuse of pesticides. I am sure that you are aware of that. Let me say at the outsetthat there is no question but that in anybody’s mind who really thinks the th[ugthrough, pesticides are here to stay. So long as we require food, so long as we re-quire shelter, clothing, we want to be able to enjoy our leisure time, so long as wehave our present standards of living, and therefore, pesticides will have to be used.There is just no other way out. Pests affect all of us, either directly or indirectly.They bite us; they bite our animals; they carry disease; they destroy our crops; theydestroy our forests; they interfere with our leisure time activities. ~ do not need toenumerate al! the ways in which pests, whether they be weeds, rodents, insects, mitesor tics or plant diseases or what-have-you, they affect our everyday lives.

Even £f you don’t use pesticides, even if you are not involved ~n protecting evenso much as an anima! around your house, or if you don’t have animals to protect,pesticides and pests do affect your everyday lives because they cost you money.

Pests take a great toll every year of our crops and our food and our properties,and to alleviate those losses to the extent that we are able to do so, it takes money,and that is reflected in the cost of things that you and I buy every day.

The reason that pesticides are becoming more and more important to us, to youas firefighters and to me as a person who wants to help you do your job in thesafest way possible, is that we have come to realize, through a few rather unfortunatei~cidents, that fire fighters and those who have pesticides in storage or who usepesticides need to get together so that they understand the problems.

We have two types of problems. We have storages for pesticides, which are incities, in towns, in residentia! areas, even, or in industrial parts of cities and towns,and we have storages for pesticides out in the rural areas. That is where you willbe most l~kely involved w~th pesticides, in the storages. The manufacturers of pesti-cides have to store them until they are sold. They sell them through a distributor,and again, they are stored in a warehouse, probably. The distributor distributes

and transports thern to a dealer; the dealer, in turn stores them u~til the finalsale to the consumer is made, and the consumer may be a grower or he may bean arborist, and other persons in various walks of life who are using these pesticides.

Here, again, they are stored ~mtil they are used. So that to me, storage is thekey point that we need to emphasize.

I know that most of you are probably we!l acquainted with the dangers and haz-ards associated with oil fires, and cases where chlorine might be released, or am-monia, possibly, and perhaps you are well aware of what might happen if thereis a bunch of arsenic compounds of some type stored somewhere, but do you realizethat since the days before 19~0, we need only heat arsenic and nicotine sulfate andonly one or two other pesticides, and snlfur was pretty prominent in those days, andof course could be hazardous, and since those days when we had, perhaps, a fewhundred or perhaps a few thousand products on the market, today we have regis-tered in the Federal Pesticides Registry Division over 60,000 products which arecalled pesticides.

Those products are made up of some 500 to 600 basic chemicals, and, of course,many of them contain some of the familiar solvents, like the oils, the hydrocarbonsand the others, with which you are perhaps somewhat familiar.

The other thing that I wonder if you realize is that whereas, ~n the days of thearsenicals, you had to eat that material in order to become poison, tmless you gotan awful dose of it in the course of a fire through inhalation, you practically had toeat it in order to become poison, but today, our pesticides are of a different nature.Most of them are poisonous, by injection, through the mouth, and into the digestivetract, but a very high percentage of them can also be absorbed through the stdndirectly, just by contact with the powder or the liquid, whatever it is. The skin absorb-tion is very rapid in the ease of many of these pesticides that we have today. Thatwas not so with the old lead arsenics.

Another point that needs to be considered is that many of these pesticides arevery injurious, very poisonous, when breathed into the lungs, and for a very high per-centage of them, there is distinct danger when one breathes the fumes or vapors orsmoke from those raaterials. So that we have a different situation today.

An apple grower, for example, may have as many as a dozen or fifteen differentpesticides in his storage place, if he has a single storage. However, the chances arethat they are scattered all over the farm, in various buildings.

A potato grower certainly would have six or seven.

Very likely, the brush killers, wheat killers, for the most part, are somewhat lesshazardous than some of the insecticides. We don’t have to be quite so much con-cerned about there. But the thing I want to point out to you is that there is a differ-ence between the chemicals that you run into in storages, now, than the chemicalswe recognized as being pesticides fifteen, twen~:y or twenty-five years ago. There isa difference, and they must be handled and worked with differently. That is thesituation.

Fires are occurring in t~esficide storages. Some of you may have heard aboutthe situation near Rochester, New York last year, where twenty f~remen were over-come in fighting a farm fire and they were rushed to the S~rong 1~Iemoria! Hospital,where they failed to respond to the ordinary treatment for smoke inhalation. It wasn’tuntil a neighbor suddenly realized the situation and said:

"Wait a minute, that fire was where there was parathion stored. Thosefellows may have parathion poisoning."

He took the word back to the hospital; they gave the proper treatment for thepoisoning, and the fellows responded right away. That is the d~ference. It is notjust plain smoke inhalation; it is pesticide poisoning, in a case like that.

The other problem, and one which is very uppermost in my mind, after seeing acouple of places I saw the other day, when preparing for this talk, is this. I wentinto a city where there are two agricultural chemical warehouses, where they storesupplies for home garden use and for farms.

Now, here are two warehouses, largely of wood, sitting right here in the middleof the city, with the residential area around there and the industrial area right aro~mdthere, too. I went in and asked the manager what he stored there, .or how much hestored there, and he said:

"Oh, yes, several times a year, we will have several tons, perhaps five,or seven or even up to ten tons of guthion, which is an organic phosphate similarto parathion."

I said to him:

"What kind of a contact have you had with your firefighters here in the City?"

He said:

"Oh, they come around and make an inspections."

said:

"What do they do when they make this inspection?"

"Well, they come in and chat with us; they may look arotmd a bit and notice

that we have some bags and some drums in the warehouse."I said:

"Do they pay any attention to what you have stored here?"

He said:

"Oh, no; they are not interested in that; they are just chemicals, so they p~down as chemicals.’

Well, now, to me, that is a very dangerous situation, because if you have thekind of a fire in which you have much smoldering and much smoke, you can practi-cally wipe out that residential area. That is very highly toxic material in the formof vapor and smoke. So that it seems to me that at the present time, judging bywhat I have been able to read and pick up in this way, there is a serious lack oftmowledge, not only on the part of the people who have these materials and arestoring them, but also on the part of the people, like yourselves, who are chargedwith this responsibility for fighting fires.

Well, now, let us go on into what is being done about it, if anything. There issomething being done about it.

Following a serious fire in a ware house in California, and following this Roches-ter, New York incident, a Virginia incident and many others over the country, theNational Agricultural Chemicals Association, which is an organization of chemicalfirms in a trade organization, set up some committees to see what they could doabout this rather serious situation.

I have here a statement which was prepared by the National Agricultura! Chem-ical Association, as a start towards doing something about this f~re situation:

"Fire control specialists have repeatedly claimed that proper storage of pesti-cides and identification of the areas are most important in controlling and greatlyreducing a potentially dangerous hazard. They are realistic in their requests forassistance in this connection, many of them are business men and farmers whoknow the problem of inventory control for seasonal products. They also know thatany program must be simple, to be effective."

I would surely agree with that!

"All these specialists ask is that pesticides be stored in a minimum numberof areas, and that all entrances to those areas, including windows, be marked asto identify Storage and Identification of pesticides.

"1. Wherever possible, all pesticides should be stored in a single area. Wherethis is not possible, the number of storage areas should be kept to a miniraum. Stor-age facilities should be built with non-absorbent surfaces to minimize contamination.

"2. Wherever possible, pesticides should be stored in a separate building. Thebuilding should be located so that in case of accident or fire, run-off would not en-danger the public, farm personnel, animals or property. Avoid, if at all possible,drainage to streams or ponds used as a water source for spraying, irrigating, fish-Jag, stock watering or public water supplies.

"3. If a separate building is not available, try to arrange for storage in a wingof a building. If a wing is not available.," .usb a corner room, preferably with a cornerwindow or opening through which the fire hose can be used.

"4. Keep pesticide storage areas properly secured.

"5. Install a pesticides poster, securely fastened, over every entrance to everypesticide storage area.

"6. Firmen say that the types and amounts of pesticides stored in or aroundgarages and used for lawn and garden purposes do not generally present a signifi-cant hazard. Semi-commercia! users could, however, have enough on hand at onetime to warrant special storage and posting."

Now, here is an association of chemical firms, producing suggestions for theuse of their member companies and others. They have this series of six suggestionshere and they are all good.

Another thhlg which has come to my attention is dated April 13, 1966, and theCommittee on Pest Control Operations of the Pest Control Committee in Wash-ington has worked up a justification of work on storage standards, on pest controloperations, and they recognize such things that there is a distinct hazard fromtoxic smoke and gases. They also recognize that we don’t know all about it. Theydo have this statenlent in there, however, speaking of this situation in California,because it was known that a rather large volume of this organic phosphorous com-pound, closely related to nerve gases (but stored in this warehouse), and they wereconcerned about the firefighters who had not been properly protected.

They are also concerned about spontaneous combustion. They had a large num-ber of fires, in which paper wall bags seemed to be the seat of the start of the fire,and each one had been storing a certain type of chemical. There are combustibleand explosive materials. Most of our liquid pesticides are made up of petrocarbonsolvents, and zylene is one of the major constituents, and there are also the oils.So that in addition to being a fire hazard, if you have some of these organic phos-phates or carbamate compounds in those oils or in those hydrocarbons, then youhave the additional danger of highly toxic smoke and vapors coming from them.You have the hazards from run-off and water from the fires.

Now, how many have ever given any thought to where the water you have usedto put out a fire was finally ending up. At the time of the fire, I donbt if anybodythinks about it. But it seems to me that that is something that should be thoughtof in preparation for the fire; not that you can alawys do somehing about it, butwe need to realize that where large gal!onages of water are used in putting out afire, where chemicals are involved, they do become partially burned and the con-tainers are ruptured in various ways, and you do get run-off of those materialsinto whatever drainage syste~n is there.

There have been some rather acute cases of run-off from chemical fires intopublic water supplies, or in the drainage ditches and finally, in the storm drain-ages and in ~he waters that support fish life.

So that there is a hazard, a definite hazard from the rml-Off.

Another problem, which perhaps does not concern you fellows qnite so much,but I am sure that you should be in a position to advise people that there is a hazard,and that is the matter of cleaning up this mess. It is not the same to clean up amess left from the fire, after the use of these agricultural chemicals, as it is toclean up where just a wooden building went down, with no chemicals in it.

In the fire in California, there were some 150 tons or more of a highly toxicmaterial used, and some of it was left there after the fire, and the question was,what to do with it. It ~ook them six months to find out what to do with it.

Finally, the solution was to pay some $3.00 or $4.00 per cubic foot of material tobe transported from California out into Nevada to an atomic waste disposal area,where it can be properly disposed of.

In Hagerstown, Maryland, there were involved 70,000 pounds of Seven. I knowthat some of you have heard about this, and think of it as a safe pesticide. It is.We recommend it widely for home garden use, and it is used on dogs and cats forfleas and tics and things of that sort. But, when this gets on fire, it gives off ahazardous smoke and fumes; also, where it is too highly concentrated with water,it can be serious.

Those are examples of the sorts of problems that have come to the attention ofthis Committee in Washington, and they, in turn, are working with other committeesto produce a set of standards for storage, a set of standards as what to do in caseof fire, a set of standards as to what to do with the residue that is left, and thereare various fire agencies that are operating in this area.

In New York State, the Division of Fire Safety is putting on a very vigorouscampaign to educate the firemen as to the problems that they might run into andthe ways in which it can be handled. The Extension Services and various other partsof Land Grant institutions particularly, are becoming interested in this problem andare trying to get at the facts and have materials which wil! be helpful to youpeople.

I stopped on my way up this morning at the Niagara Chemical Plant at Ayer,Massachusetts, where they have a large, formulating plant, and warehouse, andI asked them if they were doing anything of a positive nature in cormection withthis fire hazard.

In cooperation with the National Agricultural Chemical Association, they aretaking positive steps. They have here a sheet which carries an introductory para-graph, outlining the procedure in the event of a fire, as follows:

"In the event of a fire, agricultural chemicals may release toxic fumes withlittle or no warning. Organic phosphates, such as Parathion, Tepp, Guthion, Trithion,Ethion, are the most likely to cause serious trouble.

"Chlorinated hydrocarbons, such as endrine, dyeldrine, DDT, etc. can also pre-sent a problem. Encephin decomposes with heat to give elf hazardous fumes. Chlo-rates found in some herbicides present an explosive, as well as a fire hazard.

"Solvents in liquid formulations are flammable, and drums will rupture, per-haps violently, in the event of a fire.

"When dealing with such a fire, the following precautions should be observed:

"!. Evacuate residents down-wind of the fire. Avoid working the down-windarea.

"2. Do not enter a pesticide storage area, with a face mask and serf-containedair supply.

"3. Avoid solid hose streams, when there is a possibility of dispersing sulft~r orflammable dust.

"4. Recognize the explosive and toxic fume hazard.

"5. Wear protective clothing over the entire body, including face mask, rubbergloves and boots.

"6. Avoid raising any more than a minimum of dust ~vhen cleaning up powderedagrictfltura! chemicals.

"7. Use lime. Preferred. Or absorbent clay. To absorb and neutralize quantitiesof liquid. Use soda ash or lime and water to flush smaller quantities down the drainsor outdoors.

"8. Do not smoke, drink or eat in the vicinity of pesticides or fumes from pesti-cide smoke.

"9. Decontaminate equipment, buildings, etc. with lime or household bleach andwash with water and detergent.

"10. Wash or shower with large volumes of water and soap immediately afterclean-up is completed. Wash al! protective c!othing after use each day.

"11. Be alert to symptoms of poisoning and seek medical attention immediately,if such signs occur.

"12. Prevent personnel from entering burned-out area by erecting toxic chem-ical signs or barriers until clean-up is completed.

"13. Have police look over rubble and surrounding area, for evidence of con-tamination; remove or decontaminate where found."

Now, some of those may sound a little bit impossible or perhaps academic toyou, but remember that we are in a different situation with the pesticides than wehave been with some of our other types of fires.

I have indicated what is being done on the part of some associations and someother groups to help you people out.

What can and should you people do?

I think I have outlined that most satisfactorily on this sheet here that has beenpassed around. I have used the sheet, also, to introduce "Larry the Label." He is alittle fellow the Northeastern Pesticide Chemical leaders have devised to put acrossthe story, that if you want to use pesticides safely, you must read the label, because~he directions are there for safe use. Furthermore, Larry is appearing on the radioand he is also appearing in every place that we can think of having him appear.

I have some suggestions on another sheet that ~vil! be passed out here, whichLarry the Label is providing for you. He points out first that pesticides are essentialbut they can be dangerous, and here are some suggestions for firefighters:

1. Help carry out an educational campaign, urging the storage of pesticides ina separate building, not connected to any other important structure.

You wouldn’t store pesticides in your big, high cost dairy barns, for example.One fellow did, and some of them leaked down through the floor and killed a cow.

2. Encourage labeling of such storages as "PESTICIDES."

To help to do that, the chemical companies are putting out sheets like this: "ToxicChemicals. No Admittance to Unauthorized Personnel." Or, they are handing outthis type of sheet to farmers and others who store any quantities of pesticides. (Re-ferring to sheet headed "Pesticides--What Does the Term Include?")

This is very important, so that you fellows can find them and know ~vhat youare up against, in case you are called. You can help us do that, to promote thatactivity.

3. Become aware of the different types of pesticides and their potential hazard.

I was glad to see, in the April, !966 issue of the Fireman an article on "Agri-cultural Chemicals and the Fire Hazard" and giving the role of the toxicity of thechemicals used on the farm today and being stored in warehouses. You don’t needto know the details as to just exactly which ones of these 60,000 products are there,but you need to know whether they are hydrocarbons or organic phosphates, whetherthere are carbamates present, whether it is just liquid or otherwise.

4. Obtain the best available information on methods of fighting fires in pesti-cides storages and on protective equipment for foremen.

I just want to say, here, that this smoke is not just ordinary smoke, and thefollowing is very important:

5. Remind local Doctors and Poison Control centers of the type of chemicalsbeing stored and the importance of having adequate information on treatmentsreadily available.

Our Doctors are very busy men these days, and they get things through themail and they don’t pay much attention to them, not as much attention as I wishthey would. The average Doctor just doesn’t know about all of these pesticides andthe special types of treatment that are required, in case of poisoning. We find it verynecessary to remind the Doctors of that point. The Poison Control Centers are doinga grand piece of work, but even they need to be helped.

For example, just to give you an illustration, on the garden supply centershelves today, there are four pesticides products very plainly marked SCOPE in ared diamond. Each of those contains a different pesticide, a different chemical. Oneis a granule material; one is a liquid, or a spray; one is a mixtuxe of materialsfor roses and flowers, and rite other is a fungicide which you put on turf. I inquiredof the National Clearing House Control Center in Washington as to what kinds of in-formation they seat out to the local poison control centers, and they had cards; Iasked for a sample of the cards. I was particularly Lnterested in the cards that theymay have sent out on this materia! called SCOPE.

put in the letter that I found four products on the shelves and they were dif-ferent, and I wondered about that.

I got a letter back, saying "Yes" that they recognized there were two productscalled SCOPE on the market. These products may be fotmd at the Boston Con~olCenter, and knowing the people down there, I paid a visit to them and looked throughtheir files, and here is what I found. I found one card with the headline SCOPE.You know what that was, a mouth wash. Now, it doesn’t take much imaginatien tothink about what could happen. For instance, if ray child swallowed some SCOPE,what will I do? The g~rl looked it up and said: "Don’t worry; Ws just a mouthwash."

So, the Poison Center needs our help and it also needs your help.

6. Conduct a continuing survey to make sure you know of the places and condi-tions in your district where pesticides are or may be stored.

As the Niagara representative pointed out to me this morning, we are takingpositive action to contact the Fire Chiefs and the f~re people in ot~r town, to tell themwhat we have got here, and what it can do in the case of fire. But, it has got to bea two.way street. You fe!lows have got to take positive action and make sure youcontact the people who may not take the trouble to contact you, so that you knowof these places and the possible hazards involved.

7. Play it safe! Be Prepared -- Not Sorry!

In summary, then, if I can just say to you that pesticides are here, and theywill be here for as long as we have to eat, wear clothing and have any property atall. We just cannot get along without pesticides.

Some of the older ones that were not quite as hazardous with respect to fire, evenDDT which you have heard so much about, are not hazardous, particularly, in a firesituation, but the products which they are forc~g us t~ develop and use to replaceDDT do have much greater hazards. Sure, they disappear faster; they are not per-sistent, and therefore, they are better than DDT, as far as environment is concerned,but at the sarae time, for you fellows fighting the fires, they are much more haz-ardeus. The fighting of these fires will depend upon how well equipped you are andhow knowledgeable you are of the situation facing you. In order to prepare for this,just make sure that you carry out the survey in your districts.

Our files are getting bigger. Our warehouses are more concentrated. We don’thave so many little batches of material here and there any more. It is a more haz-ardous situation. Therefore, among the other things that you need to do, this is avery important one.

Marvin Collins

On behalf of ALSCO, Inc. and the Aluminum Buildings Industry, I want to thankyou gentlemen for Luviting us here today to teil you about a problem which we knowconcerns you, and that is the problem that comes with tl~e development of new build-ing materials, new types of building raaterials.

I am a Field Representative of ALSCO, which is a leading mamffacturer of alu-minum building products and materials. New materials present new problems all thetime.

We are fortunate to have with us today a man who probably knows more aboutthe problems that come with the use of these new materials, namely, the newest ofthem, aluminum building materials, than anybody in the United States. We are veryproud that he is associated with our company, but he is also a spokesman for theindustry, because he has pioneered the research and development of aluminum bond-ing and grounding systems, for aluminum sidings.

So I would like to present to you at this time, Marvin Collins of ALSCO, Inc.

MR. MARVIN COLLINS: Good Afternoon, Gentlemen. It is a pleasure to be ableto be here and talk to you about the subject of bonding these metal clad buildings.I lumw that many of you are qu~te concerned about this, and rightly so.

l~Iy first contact with this subject was in 19~!, when I was invited, yes, I was re-quested to attend a meeting called by the National Fire Protection Association andmy New England Fire Insurance Rating Company. This meeting was held in Bostonin June, and the purpose of the meeting was to reveal to the Aluminum Associationand to the Aluminum Sidings Association, of which I was the Chairman of the Tech-nical Committee, ~hat aluminum s~ding was hazardous and would have to be bondedand grounded.

After the meeting was over, the companies represented in the Aluminum SidingAssociation and the Aluminum Association conducted a number of field experiments;with the use of Ohm meters we checked many houses scattered in d~ferent areas ofthe United States, with different installations and dates, and they were found to behazardous, from the standpoint of potential energizing, by house wiring.

There have been many instances reported of energized homes, and not too longago there was an article in the Akron Beacon Journal stating ~hat there have beenso many energized in the Akron, Ohio, area in a period of a little less than two years.Then in the latter part of 1961, the two aluminum associations issued to the NationalFire Protection Association a statemen~ saying that aluminum s~dings should be bondedand grounded.

This was the first time there was an admission on the part of the two associationsthat this should be done. A gentleman from Connecticut by the name of John Wishartintroduced to the Building Officials Conference of America at about that time a meth-od of bonding and grounding, for their consideration.

This problem was discussed for a period of three years. Various investigationswere made, and finally they decided to adopt such a code, and this, they did, inthe latter part of 1964, prior to the adoption of the Code, and as you can appreciatemany firms in the Aluminum Siding Association were consulted and many of themuerformed individua! research work.

The Aluminum Association submitted to the Engineerh~g Research Division ofPem~sylvania State University a project for further investigation of the situation, andALSCO, Inc. the firm that I represent, submitted to the University of Akron a researchproject, and a very extensive one, by the way, and the University has confirmed theopinions of the two aluminum associations and the BOCA that the bonding and ground-ing of the buildings were quite essential.

Going back a little bit, in the summer of 1962 there was a rather spectacular firein l~Iaryland. This fire was the result of an electrical house wiring short. Gentlemen,the problem, really, isn’t that lightning strikes, as so many people think; it is housewiring shortage.

In this fire, the house was energized. The firemen had aluminum ladders, andthey were knocked from the ladders. TMs fire was written up in one of the FirefighterJournals, I forgot which one it was, and as a result of it, the Ohio Fire Chiefs Asso-ciation that they investigate the hazards of energized buildings and make some rec-ommendations.

! think that most of you, here, are familiar with the organization of the Interna-tional Municipal Signal Association; it is made np of the municipal electrical engineersof the United States and Canada and other foreign cotmtries. They began their investi-gation and they contacted the two aluminum associations, and I was first contacted byreference from the Aluminum Siding Association to assist the IMSA in their researchon the subject.

The big problem that we have had has not been trying to determine really whetheror not aluminum siding needed bonding and grounding, but it has been that since wehave decided that it does need bonding and grounding, there have been very fewlocal ~odes adopted.

I should like to demonstrate the real problem that we have with aluminum sidingtoday. I am going to ask Don Johnson to demonstrate to you the rea! problem that isinherent in al! meta! clap buildings tha~ are built today.

MR. JOHNSON: Here is a test panel, which shows two typical problems of bond-ing and grounding a metal clap building. There are two typical walls here, Wall Aand Wall B. Both of these walls are grounded; the bottom course of aluminum sidingis grounded, but this red light, incidentally, indicates that there is a ground; They areboth ~rounded at the bottom panel. -- ......

Let us go to the next course of siding, and we will find that the electricity is con-fined to the one panel and it is not grounded. The same is true, here, too, (illustrating);only the bottom panel is grounded. So that this wall is not properly bonded and ground-ed, because there is absolutely no sense in grounding a bottom course and leavingthe rest of the walls unprotected.

Here is a wall that is ground and bonded correctly (illustrating), and you willnotice when I touch the bottom course, the light signifies that it is grounded.

The next panel, and so on all the way up the house; this wall probably has beengrovnded, using ALSCO’s electrical grounding system, which conforms and is theonly system, incidentally, which is approved by BOCA, the IMSA and other authori-ties in the field. So here, then, you see, is the problem. The problem is the groundon the bottom panel, and of an electrical connection with the entire wall, and withthe other walls on the house.

This is what BOCA requires.

HR. COLLINS: The program adopted by the Building Officials Conferenceof America, you have before you as it has just been passed out to the members here;there ;v a sheet given to you that has a sketch of the house on the back side. If youtake a look at that sheet, you wil! find the heavy lines, at the corner of the building,repre.~ent a metal strap. There is an aluminum strap placed on, inside and outsideof each corner. At the expans~ of the wall, between the windows and the doors, addi-tional vertical straps are run to the eaves level. Another one is placed at the bottomof the foundation level, and encircles the house completely tying all the vertical mem-bers together.

Now, ~f any aluminum siding is applied ~n this particular application, whereverthe aluminum siding overlaps, a screw is placed in the panel, through the panel andthrough the aluminum strap underneath, and it is fastened to the underlay, what-ever the sheeting or exterior may be. A connection, then, is made to a bottom panel,running through a water line, and this will provide adequate protection for a housewith this type of installation.

BOCA had us approve this for their own use.

Tb~, Southern Building Code follows the same minimurn requirements. The protec.tion is rather vital. The problem becomes very acute, when you stop to think, Gentle-rnen, that in the last twelve months, there have been approximately 5~0,000 homescovered with aluminum siding in the United States, and many more mobile homeshave been built.

Vou have the problem with mobile homes the same as you do with the regularhomes.

In developing the particular method that we use for ALSCO Paneling, we do notrequire the strap underlay for the panels. In the process of making aluminum siding,you have the rather large coil material weighing some 50{) or ~00 pounds. The materialis this width, Gentlemen, and you can see, perhaps on this edge over here, we havewhat we call skin-coated paint.

This one area, you can’t see (illustrating), but we have done the same thing onthe back side, at the tip edge of the panels.

When our panels are formed from the strip code areas, it falls within the top lot;the skip code area on the back falls down here at the tip, with a bottom lock for each.If you take two of our panels and attempt to lump them together, you have an auto-matic connection of all the panels on one wall, electrically. The demonstration madea moment ago, on the one side of the panel, first, the panel was energized and hadthis type of connection.

All panels made in the industry today are back and front coated. You cannot get110 volts to break through these coatings. On actual test, we find that it took over200 volts to do what we wanted to do. We found that it required over 400 to break thefront volting. So the panels, except for an occasional scratch contact, required almost600 volts to break through the coating.

Of course, this is not your problem; your problem is 110 volts of house wiring.

We feel, so far as the industry is concerned, that there has been a great dealof work performed. ALSCO has gone to the university, with the extension researchwork performed there.

We have quite a little, performed at the National Home Building Research Center.We have had a series, and we also had a team comprised of the Chief of the OhioBrass Laboratories, and the man from the University of Akron, and we made exten-sive field tests. We not only proved that it was necessary to bond and ground, butalso tha~ our system was very, very good.

We have done so much work that to bore you with all of the details, it would takea long time. I do have her~ a report, for example, the article that appeared in theFirefighters Journal sometime ago. I am leaving a copy of everything here. Write tome, and I shall be happy to send them to you.

I also have a copy of a newspaper article in regard to Shrewsbury, New Jersey;they were a little bit excited until they were able to come up with the proper codes.

Here is a newspaper article from the Times-Democrat of Davenport, Ohio, andhere is the newspaper article from the Beacon-Journal, indicating that there weretwenty-one energized homes, about a year ago.

Here is a report on "Lightning Strikes" that we ran.

I also have a report here in regard to the effects of direct lightning strikesmetal clap buildings.

I have a report here in regard to the fact that ground roots are very, veryunsafe. If your locations in your cities or counties, if they are using the ground tometal clap buildings, be sure to get a copy of this report. Every ground lot installa-tion has a built-up potential of electrocution, Gentleraen. This is a very serious problem.

Here is a report on the various paints used in the industry. And, here is a reportwhich gives, briefly, the background and development of the bonding and grounding,all over the United States.

Here is a little sales brochure that I also prepared for the salesmen, to encouragethem to make the jobs, when sold, bonded and grounded.

Frankly, we are having little success, but the brochure has a !or of interestinginformation.

I also have a report, here, and incidentaily, Gentlemen, I tried very hard to haveanother chap come in and talk in our stead, but the gentleman in the InternationalMunicipal Signal Association, who is doing a very, very fine job in this matter of bond-ing and grounding of metal class buildings, and in addition various local building~odes, in adopting this said that he tried to get the President of the Oh~_o Fire Chief.~Association here, but there was a recent report, addressed to all of the building offi-cials, the Fire Chiefs, the electrical engineers of the United States and Canada, aswell as the Vice-President.

It is intresting, and you should read it carefully.

Gentlemen, we have done al! we can, so far as the firm is concerned, to encour-age bonding in the various areas in which we operate.

The firemen are exposed, in fighting fires, to the dangers of energized buildings,and the only way you can get the safety in your communities, for your firemen andthe home o~vners is to sit down with the Building Department and help them to writ~a l~nilding Code.

Actually, you don’t have to write one. Take the one "as is" and it will do the jobfor you. But, it is a job that has to be done at the local level.

The big problem has been there. Although we have a large National Building Offi-cials Association, which is the International Conference of Building Officials on thewest wast, and others, actually less than 10 per cent be long to these organizations.and the Code organizations, or the members of the Code organizations, do not neces-sarily have to adopt the Code, even though the International or the National has theCode on the books. Some communities do.

Of course, we have been Lrffluenced since May of 1964 for BOCA and October of1964 for SPCC. In spite of that, there are very, very few of the locations where theydo have a bonding and grounding Code in the first place, that is effective, and wherethey do have enforcement.

Gentlemen, the problem is ~n your hands. We cannot carry them on much furtherthan we have at the present time.

CHIEF DONALD HOLBROOK of New Hampshire: Could I ask the gentleman, whatyou do in a home already panelled with aluminum siding, that is grounded on a!lcorners to achieve this bonding?

In the illustration that you have given to us, you said that this is alr~.ady existing,and you have got to do something about that.

MR. COLLINS: There have been 500,000 in the past year, in one year’s time. Itis like the safety belts, Gentlemen. If you have a requirement for safety belts in thecar, you can buy them and put them in, but it’s difficult to make a retroactive dea!.

However, we recommend this: We recommend that you tie in the corners, acrossthe corners, the four corners, but don’t use ground rods; take it to your wel! waterline, your water line, or something of that sort.

The Electric Code recommends that you do not use any ground rod that h.as aresistance of 25 Ohms or greater. We checked ground rods in the State of Ohio, andwe never found any with less than 75.

CHIEF DONALD HOLBROOK: How about the bonding?

MR. COLLINS: Fortunately, a house five or six years of age, in that category,has enough scratch contact that it isn’t too seriot~s after five or six years; it is duringthe first five or six years that you have the real problem, and then you may still havea problem later on. If you tie your corners together with a little strap, around thecorner of the house, and run a wire from each corner to the water line, that wouldbe about the safest you could make that home.

CHIEF DONALD HOLBROOK: Thank you. I happen to have a house like that.

MODERATOR CROIViPTON: Are there any further questions at this time?

CHIEF KANE of Rhode Island: I was led to believe that most houses were beingconstructed at 110, and your siding was destined for 200.

MR. COLLINS: No; I said that in the industry, a!l firms are painting the backof the panels, and the paint coating on the back of the panels requires over 200 voltsto break through the coating.

CHIEF KANE of Rhode Island: The point I am trying to get at is this. A lot ofnew homes under construction today are 220.

MR. COLLINS: Yes.

CHIEF KANE of Rhode ~sland: Is that enough, then?

MR. COLLINS: No.

I~IR. COLLINS: fhat is a real problem, there. In cases of that nature, they areputting in plastic pipe and you have to go to ground; you will have to go to the Na-tional Electric Co(te and pick out the best grounding method you can.

Keep in mind that the National Electric Code recommends, h~ the instances whereyou are using man-made ground, that it should be checked periodically, to make surethe reading is down to the proper level.

QUESTION: How do we check to know that the ground is accurate?

MR. COLLINS: I know that it is not going to be easy, even for the Building In-spector to check it. You a~’e talking in terms of a fire condition, where you areout to the house and you are concerned about a fire condition.

QUESTION: Well, in home inspections, you advise the owner about it, yes.

MR. COLLINS: Wel!, you can easily find out if a particular job was energizec!by putting your hand on the wal!. Make sure your feet are very dry. No; I am no~kidding; that is about the only way you can check it Unless you have an electriciancome in and make a thorough investigation, that is the only way to do it.

CHIEF MARTIN of Northampton, Ivlassachusetts: In most houses today, theyrnn a line from the main in the street, but as the street has the cement lh~e pipe, orthe asbestos pipe, now, in the street mai~, would you figure that the copper tubingfrom the house to the main would be sufficient for a ground?

MR. COLLINS: I am not qualified to answer that question, but I suggest this.All of the Codes that have been written today usually evade a direct answer by saying:"A~tached it to the electrical service ground." Well, ff it is good enough for theelectrical firm, it is good enough for th~ ground of your home.

CHIEF WOODS of Peterborough, New Hampshire: ! might say, in answer to thisgentleman’s question, that the proper water line, regardless of the main, is added tothe ground. And, to some other gentleman who spoke about the voltages, the highestvoltage today, going to ground from the 220 or 240 volts is still !20 volts to the grounds.

MR. COLLINS: Thank you; that is news to me. The National Electric Code doesspecify that in a fire, going to the water lines, the water lines should be at least 10-feet~ it is on the outside, buried 10-feet away from the house.

CHIEF I~AYNARD: In regard to the energized homes, mobile homes, how longwill they keep their energy after the service wire~ are cut?

MR. COLLINS: I can’t answer that question; I am not qualified to answer thatquestion.

!n the case of static electricity, we had an in~eresting experience in Dayton, Ohio.There was a high-on-a-high spot, a high hill, with preval!Lug winds t~tt[ug it at thecorner, giving it a wind current on two sides of the house. The home owners reportedto the local electrical Lnspector on three occasi~.ns; they were shocked. Each time,l~e would go out there, and there was no electric connection shortage.

CHIEF DOHERTY of Amherst: Yon indicated that you were having trouble sell-ing. You sell a system, and it is not safe?

MR. COLLINS: Well, I don’t know that I raade the statement just like you havemade it, but I may have. I said we are having difficulty in getting the dealers toinsist on the hook-up necessary to provide the same system. The only thing we canbuild at the factory is the parts.

To make our system safe, you must put a strap around the corner of the house,a small strap, to the outside corner, and you must run a wire to a water line some-where, or to the electrical service ground, as the case may be. That makes it safe.Ten minutes of work are what we can’t sell. We can’t do the inspecting of it.

The Wednesday Morning Session convened at nine-forty o’clock, on Jtme 22, 1966,in the Ballroom, with Program Committee Chairman Robert F. Uhn presiding.

PROGRAM COMMITTEE CHAIRMAN ROBERT F. ULM: Good Morning, Gentle-men; Members and Friends of the New England Association of Fire Chiefs. At thepre-Conference meeting of Committee Charimen and Directors of this organizationlast fall, the possibility of incorporating something into our program that would beof value to the Volunteer Departments was discussed. As the result of that meeting,it was decided to devote an entire session as a Workshop, relative to the volunteerfire service, which was felt would also be beneficial to permanent departments.

tt is a known fact that volunteer departments out-number permanent departments,and that they have been and are still considered the backbone of our profession.

Many of our full-time departments are surrounded by volunteer companies andwith mutual aid being used so extensively, it is to every one’s advantage that weknow each o~her’s problems and capabilities, so that mutual aid will be utilized tothe best advantage for all concerned.

To begin this session, Chief William J. Young, a member of your ProgramCommittee, wil! address this Coherence and moderate the workshop panel.

Bill Young has been a member of the Newington, New Hampshire Vohmteer FireDepartment since 1943. He started with a privately owned and maintained fire depart-merit, and rose from private to Lieutenant, Captain and Assistant Chief, and, duringthe last few years of the Private Department, served as Acting Chief.

When the people of Newington decided they should have a municipal Fire Depart-ment, Bill served on a long-range Planning and Building Committee, which constructedand furnished the Newington Civic Center Fire Station, and the Town purchasedthe equipment of the Private Department, along with a new 750 G.P.M. Pumper. Billwas appointed Chief of this Department in 1957, formed the Newington Fire Depart-ment, and moved into the new quarters on February 1, 1958.

To show you how busy some of these volunteers are, Bill is also Forest Warden,Town Moderator, Past Chairman of the School Board, member of the Budget Com-mittee, Civil Defense Director, and Past Moderator of the Congregational Church,and is serving his second six-year term on the Board of Fire Engineers.

This is not all. He is Past President of the Inter-State Emergency Mutual AidUnit (33 area Fire Departments); Past President of the New Hampshire Fire Chiefs’Association, Past President of the Rockingham County Forest Fire Wardens’ Associa-tion. He is a graduate of the University of Maryland Staff and Command School,in 1964, and Chairman of the Advisory Committee, State of New Hampshire Fire-fighters’ Training Program.

At present, he is the Secretary of the Volunteer Committee of the InternationalAssociation of Fire Chiefs, and New Hampshire State Director of that Association.

Incidentally, in his spare time, Bill earns a living as Assistant Superintendent ofthe Atlantic Terminal Sales Corporation, and in his spare time, when his wife man-ages to make an appointment with him, he attempts to assist her in the operationof a ceramics studio.

I have managed to make an appointment with Bill for this morning,, and at thistime, it is my pleasure to present Chief William J. Young, who has chosen as hissubject, "The Progressive Volunteer Fire Service of ’66." Chief William J. Young!(Applause)

Thank you for the introduction.

We are here today to bring out the facts concerning what the Volunteer Fire Serv-ice is, not in the past, not in the future, but today. The Volunteer Fire Service of to-day is modern in its equipment; in fact in some cases outstanding. There are manyDepartments ~vhere the volunteers have more money to put into their equipmentthen some of the permanent Departments.

One point I would like to bring out in particular, and that is that the vohmteerfiremen of 66 are not part-time firemen, as has been said of them in the past. Theyare on duty not eight hours but twenty-four hours each day.. No matter where theymay be when the alarm sounds, they respond. And they not only protect farms andsmall rural homes, but today they also provide protection for big business, industry,storage plants (including off tank farms). The volunteers must be ready to cope withany emergency that might arise, for with modern means of transportation, with trailertrucks traveiling the highways with flammable liquids or chemicals aboard, hazardscan be encountered anywhere. Even nuclear weapons can be invelved in an area pro-tected by Volunteer Fire Departments. Plan crashe~ can take place anywhere, and thevolunteers must be ready.

With the modern alarm systelns of today, the volunteers can be rolling almostas qnickly as the permanent, paid Departments. Now don’t get me wrong, I’m nottrying to put the volunteer in a better light than the paid Departments; I’m just try°mg to show how alike they are today, except for the fact of the payroll. I know somevolunteer Departments get some pay -- this is something we might go into later --but it is usually only when they are involved with an emergency.

The volunteer firefighter of ’66 is involved in a strict training program. ~anystates provide instructors who train the firemen at their own area fire stations withtheir own equipment. But don’t get the idea this is something the states gave thevolunteers. They and their brothers, the permanent firemen, fought for this and withtheir legislators got the necessary bills passed to provide training, using the tax-payers’ money.

I believe this is one of the best uses of our tax money. Sure, we have trained our-selves, but it takes the outside instructor to come in and put the subject matter across.Training is a continuing program. We must never step training because, as I saidbefore, the volunteer must be and is, I hope, ready for any emergency, and this isgetting to be a very technical job.

Each day more and more hazards face the fireman when he responds to thatalarm. Modern science is great, but it has also created problems. The Volunteer De-partment of ’66 does not have an old, worn-out truck that can hau! a little water andsome hose, or just some hand tools such as a bucket and an axe. It has at its corn-mand, high-powered, expensive truck which in many cases the men must be speciallytrained to make the most efficient use of.

Education ranks first today in preparing our fire services. We must think aboutcollege courses for our Department officers. In fact we must not only think about itbut now is the time for all good firemen and Fire Chiefs to come to the front andreally do something about this. We must follow the trail blazed by some of the otherstates such as Maryland or Iowa and Oklahoma, in having college degrees in thefield of engineering in fire service. We must promote programs like this i~ New Eng-land so we can encourage the young fellows of today to take these college coursesand when they finish, to work as instructors, supervisors, and so forth, and start thesegraduates up through the fire service officers’ ranks.

Now let us talk just a little bit about what the Volunteer Fire Service has donein the past to make the Department of ’66 what it has become. First, the VolunteerDepartments are the proud parents of all the fire services in the United States, for

we cannot deny the fact that the original fire fighters in the Sates were a group ofdedicated men banded together to help their neighbors protect their lives and prop-erty. From there they went into insurance groups who fought the fires and protectedthe buildings which were covered by their particular group. That is why today wehave these antique firemarks of yesteryear which many of us are so proud to haveacquired.

It seems to me as we look back, that we reached a turning point about thetime of the large forest fires of ’47. It took an emergency of such magnitude to awakencommunities to the fact that something more was needed than to depend upon a bigshiny fire truck from an adjoining city to come in, rear up with a big flourish anda screaming siren, with all of 200 gallons of water on it, which oftentimes proved tobe too little, too late.

At this time we went through a transition. The men of the smaller communitiesbegan banding together, getting equipment on hand, some of which I will admit waspretty makeshift in the beginning -- anything that conld hold water, five, six to eighthundred gallons, with a few feet of 11/~ inch hose, stored in almost any kind of build-ing that could be heated enough to keep the truck from freezing up in winter. In theevent of fire, the man hastily .responded to the alarm, got out their piece of equipmentand did a terrific job in saving property in the rural areas.

Then through conferences, meetings and organizations, they fonnd they were miss-ing the boat in one phase of the job. Sure, the fire fighters were displaying the truedemocratic spirit in helping their neighbor save his property, his life, or the livesof his children. In fact it has been said of the Volunteer Department that there isno room in it for any of the isms, communism or any other kind, because the Volun-teer Department denotes the true form of democracy when he responds to help hisneighbor.

But there was still one thing missing, and I lumw possibly some of you in theaudience will shudder when ! speak of it, and that is although these fire fighters weredoing such a terrific job in saving lives and property, they were not in a sense beingrecognized by the underwriters with reduction in insurance rates in their communi-ties. So the next step took place in the evolution of the Volunteer Fire Service. Inmany instances they went to their communities for tax dollars to sustain the opera-tions of their Departments, to purchase modern, underwriter accredited and approvedfire apparatus and equipment. They got their communities to build modern, smallfire stations which could be accepted by the underwriters. !n many eases the com-munity tax dollar paid for only a small percentage of the total cost of the buildings

the firemen themselves toiled manually week after week to complete these struc-tures. Then and only then were the Volunteer Departments recognized by the under-writers, and proper reductions made in insurance rates in their communities. Thiswas the first time a monetary value could be computed to any degree for the out-standing work the men had been doing.

Another need that presented itself during the forest fires of ’47, were adequatemutual aid systems, an organization that could bring all the Fire Departments to-gether in the event of extreme emergency, to help each other out. Sure, mutual aidin a sense has been going on ever since time began, but it has taken the last fewyears to bring it to the point where it is now, that is, a central dispatching system,

regular meetings which give the members a chance to get together and get personallyacquainted, so when an emergency does arise they are able to cooperate in a moreefficient manner.

Most important in mutual aid is the fact that you can make one call to the cen-tral dispatching station, stating what you’ve got and what you need for equipment,and immediately the proper equipment is dispatched, not only to help in the existingfire but to cover the station in case of another emergency. The beautiful thing aboutthis in our area is that you have all this equipment, all these men at your disposal,and you don’t have to worry about an accumulation of bills that your town will befacing when the emergency is over. This is discounting woods or forest fires, whichare handled through the state.

However, don’t let anyone here misconstrue what I have said, and don’t misqnoteme. Mutual aid systems do no$ give us an excuse to have less e~tu~-pment than isnecessary to efficiently combat any emergencies we might have. Mutual aid systemsdo not give us an excuse for not going after that new piece of equipment that is needed,or that extra 1,000 feet of hose. l~Iutual aid is to be used to fi!l in over and above ourown capabilities, and this is what has been done and is being done. It has preventedmany large catastrophes, because we were able to get one, two or three piecesof apparatus in to help us to quickly control a fire that might otherwise have spreadrapidly out of contro!.

The ’66 Volunteer Department should belong to a good mutual aid system, forthese systems do a great den! to add to the efficiency of a Fire Department and FireChief, and do nothing to detract from the local Fire Departmet~t or Chief in the eyesof their communities.

All during this time, training of a sense had been going on. But it has becomemore and more intensified, and today our training programs have been stepped up.All the organizations and fire fighters and F~re Chiefs’ groups are stressing training.I say again, we can thank our big brothers, the permanent Departments, for havingproperly qualified men we are able to use as instructors in these programs.

There is one phase of the Volunteer Fire Service we haven’t gone into too much,but time seems to have a way of getting away from us. It is still necessary formany volunteers to make do with what they have. Wherever you.may go in the NewEngland States today, you will find many attachments, or pteces of equipment,that the volunteers have developed through necessity. They have had to learn howto conserve water because thy must conserve water in the rural communities wherethere are no hydrants. They have learned how to make the best use of their equip-ment in hauling water to the fire, laying a large line up a long driveway to tanktrucks could unload out on the main highway and keep a steady stream of waterflowing to the equipment at the scene. They have developed various types of nozzlesto more adequately protect properties.

One example I can give you is a Fire Chief who took his own 1-~ inch usedfemale hose end, brazed a piece of angle iron across the end to hold it from turning,cut a slot in it; tha~ is, the slot went down into about a quarter of it so when it washooked to a !-V2 inch hose it put up a beautiful water curtain between a fire and anyexposed building. He also had holes in the angle iron so a hook could be put into it

and fastened to a rope so it could be pulled from one spot to another without send-ing a fireman in between the buildings. Necessity is truly the !nother of invention,and these boys out in the eountry have really got good mothers for they have surecome up with some ingenious inventions.

Now we have taken up many aspects of the Volunteer Fire Service and tracedthem through the years to bring us up to the modern day, or let us say, the year1965. But we are here today to talk about !966, and as we ride through the country, thecities and large towns, we notice that we now have modern fire stations, many ofthem newly constructed, many of them of fire-proof design, or I should say, fire-resistent, because I know some of you will pick me up on the word "fire-proof,"and I concur with you and the fact that there is nothing built that is fire-proof.But as I said, many of these stations are of fire-resistent construction, have themost modern facilities to take care of the storage of the fire apparatus and to takecare of the necessary equipment that is so important for modern, efficient operation.

Also in the modern fire station of ’66 we find alarm systems, fire alarm report-ing systems which are red network telephone systems whereby fire calls may bereceived at more than one point. The person receiving these ca!ls for help is able toactivate the alarm at the fire station, and can even go one step further today andactivate tone generators which in turn activate radio receivers in the individualfireman’s home, so in case he is located in an area where he cannot hear the audiblealarm from the top of the fire station, the tone generator makes a loud beeping noisein his house, followed by a radio message as to the type of emergency that has arisen.

Also in ’66 we find adequate provisions have been made for a meeting room forthe firemen, a place for the volunteers to hold their social gatherings. There are evenprovisions for the firemen to sleep at the volunteer fire station in the event of extremeemergency, or, up here in the north country in the wintertime when we have theseblizzards, it is quite often that many of the men stay at the fire station during thestorm. In fact, last spring, or I should say in the first part of ’66, when we had acouple of bad snowstorms, it was the practice of many Volunteer Fire Departmentsto have men on duty all during the storms.

Also, this section of the fire station, the ward room has proved quite beneficialto the Volunteer Fire Service in that it provides a most comfortable place for a fire-man to spend his time when his wife puts him in %he doghouse. He can come upto the station, be on duty and ready to help his fellow man, and at the same timestill serve out his term in the dog house in peace and comfort.

Some of the other items in these modern fire stations are, if they are adjacentto hydrant lines, they can have a hydrant inside the fire station so that their tanktrucks, when they come back empty, can be loaded inside the station where it is abit warmer in the cold, bitter winter. In the modern fire station of ’66, we find thatthey have built-in exhaust systems so that the volunteers can run their trucks andhave the fumes exhausted to the outside atmosphere. We find hot and cold water inthe apparatus room, because the modern fireman truly takes great pride in his equip-ment and does his best to keep it !ooking nice at a!l times. Another very importantitem that we find in the fire station of today is a modern, up-to-date kitchen, becausea happy fire fighter is a good fire fighter, and the best way to keep a fireman happyis to provide him with plenty of coffee and something to go with it. I mean some-thing in the line of doughnuts and sandwiches, of course.

We find also that the ’66 Departments have their ladies’ auxiliaries which do muchin the line of providing the niceties of life, such as equipping the ward rooms withfurniture and curtains, preparing food to take to the scene of the fire, and other thingsthat I don’t think we should go into here.

Now to get to the working tools of a fire fighter, we find in this modern fire stationof ’66, modern, efficient pumpers. I have touched on this very briefly before in thispresentation, but now let us see what we do find in these fire stations. We find under-writer accredited trucks, the smallest one 500 gallons per minute up through 1,200gallons per minute. We find that these trucks carry, that is, I should say the ma-jority of thern start with 500 gallons and they go up to, well, the newest truck I sawjust the other day had 2,000 gallons of water on it. We find that these trucks are largeenough and adequate enough to carry all of the equipment necessary to make thema complete fire fighting unit. That is, they carry approximately 1,500 feet of 2-1/2inch hose. In some instances they have one or two 2-1/2 inch preeormeeted hoses,and one~ two or more 1-~& inch preconneeted hoses. These preconnects are usuallyfrom 100 to 150 feet in length. We find these modern fire trucks equipped with foam,and the necessary inductors and nozzles to properly apply this foam to the fire, andin doing so have been able to efficiently control oil fires.

Also let us not forget one very important item that we find on about all of ourequipment today, and that is the two-way radio, so that the trucks can be in touchwith one another as wel! as keep in touch with the home station. Almost alwaysthey are on a frequency tied in with a mutual aid system, so that they can summonhelp immediately when they find it necessary. We find the trucks equipped with themost modern tools and appliances, along with the old standby pieces of equipment thathave been handed down through the years. We find on the modern equipment alltypes of fog nozzles, because the Volunteer Fire Service of ’66 has found that fogis most beneficial in the control and extinguishment of f~res.

I know that there are many things pertaining to apparatns that I have omitted,but I am hoping that when we get into the panel discussion, some of you fellows willbring out some of the points I have missed. We have talked about the fire station,the fire apparatus and equipment, and it may seem to you that I have forgottensomething, but before you jump up to start telling me what I have missed, I’ll tel! youthat I have purposely left the most important side of the program to the last, becauseit is the most important element, and that is the fire fighters themselves.

We find in the Volunteer Fire Service of ’66 that for the most part we have well-trained fire fighters who are constantly attending training programs, taking coursesin al! the phases of fire fighting, subscribing to the various beneficial magazineswhich give them a wealth of knowledge hi their field, magazines such as FIREMAN,put out by ~he NFPA; THE VOLUNTEE.R FIRE FIGHTER and FIRE EN-GINEERING.

We see that these fire fighters are well equipped to do the job they have to do,that is, they have rnodern, proper equipment and apparatus to work with; they them-selves are properly trained in the most modern, efficient tactics of fire fighting; theyare eqtfipped with proper protective gear. I can remember back a few years ago thatwhen the alarm blew in the small community, we wonld go to the scene of the fireand find men in street clothes and low cut shoes; in fact they were apt to be wearingalmost anything, attempting to fight a fire or rescue people.

Today, for the most part, you’ll find these volunteer firemen equipped with properhelmets, bunker coats, rubber boots, gloves, and in a few places they also havebunker pants. In fact, one modern Volunteer Fire Department is in the process ofputting heat resistant clothing into operation, the so-called proximity suits. Theyintend to have at least two or three of these ~n the Department so they can makeup an attack group that can move in on a rea! hot emergency to effect a rescue orset up hose lines, and so forth.

Also we find in the fire service of ’66 that these men have been trained in theuse of, and have at their disposa!, necessary self-contained breathing apparatus.

One other thing equally important is that these men all operate under bylawsand constitutions wtfich set the proper guide lines for the efficient operation of theirDepartments. They are assigned their various duties in the Department, and areheaded up by a Chief and the necessary subordinate officers, as well as having mendesignated as drivers of the apparatus. These men must attend training sessions sothey will be able to respond competently to the emergencies in their communities.

Another thing that is essential is that these fire fighters must be in good health,for upon these fire fighters rests the success or the failure of the operations of theVolunteer Fire Service of ’66.

In conclusion let me stress what I feel are the most important matters to theVolunteer Fire Department of ’66, and that is, competent and continuous trainingand college education. Also we must not !ose sight of the fact that whatever we dohere in our Volunteer Fire Service, we must endeavor to keep within the guide linesof the underwriters, so that our Depa1~ments will meet with their approval, and ourcommunities will be able to benefit from lower insurance rates, as well as beingable to bask in the lmowledge that they can have confidence in the ability of theirlocal fire fighters.

We must hereby stand dedicated to maintain the image of the Fire Service uponthe highest of levels, and we wil! do nothing to lower this image, but by our actsand our deeds we in the Volunteer Fire Service of ’66 will help to maintain this imageof the Fire Service upon the highest plateau.

(Applause).

I~IODERATOR YOUNG: I want to thank you all for your kind attention. Veryshortly, we will go into the Panel Discussion.

We have an outstanding group of Panelists here this morning, and each man isgoing to have the opportunity of addressing you for ten minutes. We shall let all ofthem make their presentations, and then after they have all done that, we are goingto get into some good discussions here. You may throw the questions at the Panelists,and we hope that they can answer them, or else they will have to go and get theanswers and mai! them to you. The Panelists will have the right to ask the otherPanelists questions, and they must be prepared to stand behind their answers, andif other Panelists disagree, they will have the right to take previous speakers ~o task.

Those are the ground rules, Gentlemen. Let us start and see how we make out.For the question and answer period, we do have some roving microphones goingthrough the audience and Chief Pitney and Chief Wright have graciously assentedto assist us in this operation.

We shall listen to each of our speakers, and then go into the question and an-swer period.

To start off this morning, I picked the most hnportaut subject in my mind, as yousaw from my talk, which is "Training" and Chief Charles Backer of South Shafts-bury, Vermont will be our first speaker. He has acted in Firemen’s Training in Ver-mont as Instructor for the Vermont State Firefighters’ Association. He has been foreight years doing this work, and he has been Chief of the Fire Department for fourteenyears, Foreman for the Cushman Colonial Plant for seven years.

It gives me a great deal of pleasure to present to you at this time Chief CharlesBacker.

CHIEF CHARLES BECKER of South Shaftsbury, Vermont: Thank you, Bill. Imust make one correction; they have changed our address from South Shaftsbury;the town is so small that they dropped the "south" and now they call it just "Shafts-bury." This happened not too long ago, and I guess it was somewhat for the bene-fit of the Postal Sarvice.

I stood out here this morning, watching the golfers, and I thought of an explana-tion that got me in trouble a short while back. l~y superintendent plays golfs, so Ileft this little explanation on his desk; right away he knew it was L It said: "Golfis a game in which a little ball is chased by men who are too old to chase anythingelse." (Laughter)

Now, don’t get perturbed at me, Fellows; I got that from F~re Engineering!

Before I mention the subject of fire fighting, I should like to clarify one point.We farmers up in Vermont are no longer out-numbered by the cows! A little programcalled the Soil Bank was master-minded in Washington and systematically took careo~ that.

And now, I shall briefly outline our courses that we have available to the fire-men in the State of Vermont. I probably won’t have time to get into just what itentails. The standard Vermont course is of forty-five hours’ duration. It is brokeninto three-hour sessions, and usually conducted one night a week for fifteen weeks.The students may miss only two sessions, and receive the certificate.

The program is a combined effort of the Vermont Firefighters’ Association, andthe State Education Department, and the Civil Defense Administration is handledby the Vermont Firafighters’ Association under the able direction of our Coordinator,Walter Reed, who is Chief of the East Dorset Department, and we are guided by aFire Committee, two of these members being in the room this morning, I believe,Chief A1 Wright and Ex-Chief Francis Walker of Bennington.

Fifty per cent of the instructor’s salary and mileage is furnished by the StateEducation Department; the Firefighters’ Associaton furnishes twenty-five per cent,and the Department having the school is left with twenty-five per cent. Civil Defensesupplies matching funds for the cost of the work books.

The program is available to volunteers, as well as paid departments.

In an ever-changing world that has produced such unheardof things as moonrockets and topless bathing suits, the fireman’s training must be altered to meet thechanges that this type of world produces.

At the present time, the instructors of Vermont are writing a completely newforty-five hour course. It is intended to meet the challenge of Vermont Fire De-partments today. However, no matter how much planning and foresight you placein something, the solution is usually far behind the problem. So there are thingscropping rip, as Chief Young pointed out, every day, so that your program is reallyalways behind. He also mentioned that the volunteer fire service today is quite for-tunate in getting equipment and funds to operate. And, Mr. Taxpayer expects thevolunteers of today to conduct their duties in the same efficient manner that theprofessional firemen do. This requires concentrated training.

In our Shaftsbury Department, we make it necessary that every fireman takethe States foray.five-hour training course, within a reasonable length of time a~erhis acceptance.

We no longer have a long waiting list, but we have eliminated the guy whomeant to joint the Elks, the Eagles, the Lions Club or some other fine organization.

The rewards of a volunteer are small, so that he must make many sacrificesto discharge his duities.

Another prograra that we have available to the firemen in Vermont is calledour Operations Course, and it features a large percentage of outdoor work, mostlyon hose evolutions, tanker shuttles, and so forth. It involves eighteen hours of par-ticipation. This will be the second year that we have offered a week-end Fire Acad-emy to all the firemen of our State, and the men may select their choices of sub-jects, or select choices from a number of subjects, I should say, and receive tenhours of instruction on it.

The facilities of Norwich University are made available to us, and afford anideal location, and in addition to the location and spacious grounds, there are manyother advantages for us. We have most of our facilities right there at hand. We arevery fortunate to have this.

Last year, we trained something like nearly 300 firemen there at Norwich,and the cost was almost nothing, !fl;e $6.00 per man, and I might say that we getthe original idea from our State of Rhode Island, because the Vermont instructorshad attended several sessions down there.

Teaching techniques play an important part in the training of volunteer fire-men. We use a standard format workbook, which features blank spaces for the stu-dents to write in key points to be remembered. Also, when the men ~vrite theirmaterial, they wil! remember a great deal more of it than if they heard it.

Visual aids play an important part in our training, such as charts, films, slides,anything to illustrate the subject. We use a primer training pump in our pump sec-tion, and have quite a bit of outdoor work on the Fire Department’s own equipment.We further emphasize to the students that ff they take their work back home and

discard it in the closet, then they have wasted forty-five hours of their time and ashare of the instructor’s time. We feel that app!icatiou is the clincher: the studentmust practice what he has learned, so that regular company drills are a "must."

I should 1kke to give you this list of the courses that we offered at our NorwichFire Academy last year, as follows:

Firefighting, consisting of chemistry of fire, fire extinguishment, fog techniques,flammable liquids and structural fire fighting, field work in extinguishment usingvarious extinguishing agents.

Fire Stream Requirements and Hydraulics, consisting of fire streams character-istics, solid and fog steam specia! appliances, simplified hydraulics and safetyfactors.

Forcible Entry and Ventilation; recommended procednres in opening structuresfor entry and ventilation, various entry factors and factors to be considered in ventila-tion and various types of ventilation.

Protective Breathing Apparatus and Its use, consisting of need for and use ofprotective breathing apparatus for protection of firemen, rednction of fire !ossesand to facilitate rescue work, actual work with equipment under smoke conditionswil! be carried out.

Arson for the fireman. This course will be instructed by members of the FireMarshal’s Office. The course wil! consist of what firemen should look for in regardto arson.

Now, I know that I have taken up nearly my ten minutes. It has been a realpleasure for me to be here for my first time at the Association meeting. (Applause)

NIODERATOR YOUNG: I am sure, Charles, that you had better be ready witha lot of answers, because the information you have given out, you have stirred ~.psomething around here. (Applause)

Continuing with our Panel here this morning, as you follow along, you willsee the progression that we are going to take; we are going to have a very activefellow who has been in the volnnteer fire service for a good many years; he hasprobably been a Chief for a good many years. We were down to a Testimonial Din-ner given to him in Connecticut a short while ago, and let me tell you this: I never

saw a Testimonia! like it! Everybody was there, including the Governor of Con-necticut, and when you can get a Governor to come out to pay homage to a FireChief, then you must realize that he is quite a Fire Chief, along with his other duties.

We al! la~ow this gentleman, and I conld taik for fifteen or twenty minntes abouthim, but I have a note here; Jn fact, ray Secretary made this note for me, to theeffect that I have leaned on Jim for so much over the years, and he has been myanchor man and whenever I got in trouble, I called on him.

Jim Grote, get up here and let us hear from you! (Applause)

CHIEF JAI~IES GROTE of Chester, Connecticut: I~Ir. Moderator. And my usualwords: Can you hear me? I hope you al! slept well and enjoyed yourselves up to thismoment. As I look over some of my Connecticut boys down there, they don’t looktoo bad this morning! (Laughter)

l~Iembers of the Panel, the next President of the International Association ofFire Chiefs from New England, Walter Carter -- I have to put that plug in, too,Fire Chiefs and Guests. First, I wonld like to mention this Testimonial Dinner givenabout a month ago. The New England States were wel! represented, as we!! asCanada, for they are great friends of mine up there.

It is true that I have put in fifty-four years of my life in the fire service; don’task me why, but I will answer that -- it is just becanse I like it, and I like eachand every one of you for what I can do for you. For forty-four years I have led mymen, and I don’t drive them. For forty-four years, I have been Fire l~Iarshal!,rough and tumble, yet fair, and you had better obey the law.

I must try to say a little about my good friend here from Vermont. We arebrothers, in New England, and we are united, for divided we fall. I would like to re-mind some of you that we have a Fire College in New Haven, Connecticut; thiswas our twenty-fifth year, and I attended, with the help of God, each year; eventhe year that I broke my leg, I was on crutches, but I was at the Fire College. AmI dedicated? You know I am.

This year, we had the largest attendance, with 327 plus 18 at Bradley Fieldwho were taking up aircraft. This is the largest group we ever had, with 95 percent volunteer men and 5 per cent paid men. They are welcome, all of them. Thesemen go there to train, and to bring home not only one idea but several ideas, forthey a]_l learn something.

A few years ago, one of my good friends called me up and said:

"Why don’t you close the book? You’ve had just about enough of it."

That was twelve years ago. I called him up this year and I said:

"This is our 12th Conference of Fire l~Iarshals at the University of Connecticut.Wi!l you come over and be my guest, and we will add twelve more years to myrecord."

And, the same thing applies to the Fire Officers. We have had two sessions atthe University of Connecticut, the Fire Officers and the Fire Marshals. I say thatif you don’t get something out of it from the instructors and some of th~ men whocome from border to border and coast to coast, then it is your fault.

The State of Connecticut has about 36,000 men in the fire service. We are strong,and we intend to be strong. We have about 3,000 paid men, and maybe we mightjump to 4,000. I like my brothers from the paid departments; there are times whenwe need them. But, there was a time when some of the big paid departments wehad in our own State thought they didn’t need the farmers, and they would let themtake care of their own people and the city people would take care of their people.The Lord help us! When anything happend, thse volunteers would surround you withtheir equipment and personnel, and they are really a big help.

We are really united now. As you know, we have only 32 paid Chiefs in the Stateof Connecticut, out of the whole group, and as you know, the rest of themare volunteers.

Let me also say that we are in the process of a program through the Universityof Connecticut, to bring you to a higher level, but of course, that doesn’t mean thatevery one is going to be a college graduate or a professor, but we are going to tryto give the best that the ~chool can produce, so that you will come out with theequivalent of a degree. Do not let any one be disturbed and think that just becauseyou are a Chief and some young fellow passes the test and he comes up with agood rating, that he is going to take your jobs away from you. It is just the idea toprepare these men, if and when the time comes, you will have to recognize the factthat the best is poor enough.

Being an old volunteer, I always stress the point to help the other fellows ifthey need to be helped, and the same thing applies in the fire service. No one knowsit all. Even at this stage of the game.I don’t. Now, you might say: How old is thisman? Well, on May 18th, and I don’t know why but I guess there are reasons forit, I was given a Testimonial Dinner on my 75th Birthday. Now, I don’t think Ihave lost my voice, and I think I’m about as strong as I was last year. And eventhen, I came up here a sick man, against the orders of a doctor, because I feltthere was a job to be done up here, to help to put this Conference on, ~vith whatlittle that I could do to make it a great success, and I know we are going to endup with a good Conference.

We are proud in Connecticut. We don’t feel that we are any better than anybodyelse, but we just ask to be equal. We are united. I do challenge some of the rest ofthe Unifed Sta~es, from coast to coast and border t~ border, because in sSme places,I don’t believe they know that Abraham Lincoln was assassinated.

We are pioneers. Let us stay strong. As long as the good Lord who watchesover us lets me stay here, if there is anything that I can do for you, do not hesitateto call upon me. You know, I do have one thing, and it has been said that my barkhas always been worse than my bite. But I have a good, tender heart.

Thank you very much! (Applause) :

are good friends of mine. Fire Chief Kenneth O’Sullivan of Kittery, Maine, joinedthe Fire Department back in 1943, then he became a Lieutenant it was 19~7, and hebecame Chief in 1957. He is employed as a Division Manager of Allis~ New Hamp-shire, Gas Company. He is the Past President of the Interstate Emergency Unit,York County Firemen’s Association, and his department works very closely with theNaval Shipyards in Kittery and Portsmouth, and on the spot that Ken is in, he hasa large volunteer call department and they work very closely with the large, citydepartments and the government installations. He also goes over to the Pease AirForce Base and backs them up and works there.

I am sure that Ken has a few things to say to us this morning -- Chief KenO’Sullivan of Kittery, Maine! (Applause)

So let me be a little bit different and selfish. I am going to talk about my owntown and the way we operate.

Kittery is divided into two fire departments, Kittery and Kittery Point, at wh’ehyou will find Chief George Varney. We do operate under one budget, and Georgeand I have to get together and go up and fight for both departments at the same time.

As part of my talk this morning, I am going to say a few things about my owndepartment part of the time, and part of the time about both departments.

In each department, we are a!lowed to have thirty-five members, and the mem-bers are paid while they are working. They recieve $1.75 an hour. While I am on thatsubject, we had a little problem last week. The town wages went up. Some of theSelectmen thought that the Fire Department wanted a raise, and they called rae up.I went up, and it happened to be at night when my departraent was having a .meet-ing. I am proud to say that our Department decided they didn’t want any moremoney; they were perfectly happy with $1.75 an hour. Our Department is dividedup. We have a Chief, an Assistant Chief, a Captain and three Lieutenants. The trucksare operated by drivers who are designated; all of the officers are supposed to beable to operate.

To join the departraent, a man applies with an application, and when we havea vacancy, the officers on the Board of Inquiry present a name to the depart-ment. The department then votes whether they want this man to become a mem-ber. He then runs for six months, and after that, the Officers have to have anothermeeting, and decide whether he has passed and wil! be a suitable fireman. Thenhe becomes a permanent member of the Department.

During his probationary time, he has al! the privileges of the other members.He doesn’t have a vote, but after his probatienary period, he does.

We are affiliated with the Mutual Aid in the State Emergency Unit, with head-quarters up in Portsmouth.

As Bill has already told you, we are surrounded by two government installa-tions, one city department, plus the volunteer departments in York, York Villageand the surrounding towns. We have a very good working agreement with the gov-ernment installations. At the Navy Yard, they do have an aerial ladder, and on anylarge buildings we have in town, it is the policy of the Dispatcher, if he has a callfor a certain building, he will immediately sound our alarm calling the Navy Yard,and they dispatch the aerial ladder. If it is not needed, then it is immediately sentback.

At Portsmouth, Fred Crompton is probably one of the inspirations of ~vhy I ama Chief today. I was born in Portsmouth, and I spent more time, there, than any-where else. At one time, I almost became a member of that Department. But wemoved to Kittery; my wife wanted to stay there, so I am still in Kittery.

Our town has a population of about 10,000 people.

As to our equipment, we have a 750-ga!lon pumper, a truck, a rescue boat, andeach man is equipped with a hat, coats and boots. We have breathing apparattlsand all of the necessary equipment. Sometimes, I think that we have too much.

The men work under Workmen’s Compensation. The Comity also carries theHealth and Accident Insurance on the men. The town has been very good to theDepartment. Both of our stations are ten years old, and indeed, George’s station isthirteen years old. They are well-equipped.

Our Moderator has said that we do have all of the kitchen equipment andprivileges, as well as social rooms, and it does make just a wonderful place. Theonly thing I disagree with Bill on is this. I find it more easy to get into the doghouse than otherwise!

It has been a pleasure to be here this morning, and I have enjoyed the Con-ference velT much. It is the first one that I have been able to spend all the time here.

Thank you very much! (Applau.~e)

I~ODERATOR YOUNG: Thank you, Ken. We will have plenty of questions foryou later, and if the audience can’t think of any, then I can.

Next on our Panel is Chief Tom Duckworth from Warwick, Rhode Island, andI know that he has a good message for us here, because many volunteers are aptto face what Tom had to go through back a few years ago, and that is, the transi-tion from a volunteer Fire Department to a consolidated city or permanent Fire De-partment.

The City of Warwick, Rhode Island, mushroomed from a population of 25,000at the end of World War II to 80,000 at the present time.

I won’t steal any more of Tom’s thunder, here; ~ have my secretary’s notes andI want to give you a word about him. He served thh’ty-five years in the fire servicein the City of Warwick, and at the present time, he is in his twenty-first year asa permanent man. He served fifteen years as a volunteer Fire Chief.

And just at this point, I might ask Tom how old he is, anyway?

MODERATOR YOUNG: He is in his eleventh year as Permanent Chief. Hebelongs to the International Association of Fire Chiefs, and, of course, the NewEngland Association of Fire Chiefs; in fact, Tom is our Past President and is pres-ently serving on the Board of Directors. He belongs to the Rhode Island Fire ChiefsAssociation, the Warwick Regular Firemen’s Association, of which he is Past Pres-ident, a Life member of the Rhode Island Firemen’s League, and many other affili-ated organizations. Tom, if you please.

CHIEF THOMAS DUCKWORTH of Warwick, Rhode Island: Mr. Moderator, Dis-tingt~shed Panel, Ladies and Gentlemen. Before I go into my subject on transition,I just want to say that Bill brought a thought to my mind this morning relative tonew equipment. We speak of Yankee ingenuity, and I believe that much of our mod-ern equipment was invented by the volunteers. He spoke of this piece of equipmentthat was made to lay out a water screen.

Now, I know that here this morning, there are many new faces, and many latearrivals, men who have come in here just for the day. Let me say that there is apiece of equipment that was just recently invented, and for those of you who ar-rived here today and haven’t had the opportunity to see this, make sure you dosee it, because you will hear about it before you leave. I want you to know that itsounds like a combination of the electric boat, the submarine base in Groton anda good jack-hammer, if you know what I mean, at three o’clock in the morning!(Laughter) I guess you have all heard it, by your response!

But, let me get back to what I want to tell you about, in the things that havehappened in the last fifteen years in my town of Warwick, Rhode Island.

TRANSITION F]~O~ VOLUNTEER F~RE DEPART~]~NT

TO PERMANENT FI~E DEPA~TiVIENT

by Chief Thomas Duckworth

Warwick, R. I.

I shall try to provide you with as much detail as I can concerning the makeupof the Warwick Department prior to consolidation of the volunteer companies, andthe present situation, as I see it, after ten years of operation.

The City of Warwick has an area of 35 square miles and a present populationof 80,000 citizens. We are bounded by two towns and one city. One of the towns andthe city have permanent Fire Departments; the third community has a Volunteeroutfit. We have an excellent mutua! aid agreement with all three of these com-munities.

Over the past sixty years, seven independent volunteer fire companies wereformed and gradually became loose!y untied into a so-called Firemen’s League. Thisleague acted as a central non-governing body formed to standardize operations tosome degree.

During World War II the City employed fourteen men, two for each station, todrive the fire apparatus and answer the telephoned alarms. These men were re-tained follewing the war and becarae the nuclens of the eventual Department.

In 1949 a central fire alarm system was constructed with the aid of a Bond Issue,and ten men were assigned to this division to operate and maintain the Class Asystem. In 1953 the City hired an additional s.even men, one for each station. Nofurther expansion was attempted until 1956 when the seven companies were con-solidated into one Department. At this time the population of Warwick was approxi-mately 55,000.

Appreximately fifteen years ago, as a result of a survey by engineers of theNational Board of Fire Underwriters and pressure from interested businessmen andsome volunteer firemen, the City Cotu~ci! obtained legislation in the state granting theCity permission to appoint a commission of three men to be know~ as the Board ofFire Commissioners, and investing in them the authority to organize a permanentFire Department with one Chief in command of the consolidated companies.

The Fire Commissioners invited the seven volunteer fire companies to forma committee of two men from each company who would be responsible for the organ-ization of the proposed municipal ]~"ire Department.

The seven companies appointed their representatives and for a period of morethan two years the committee held regular meetings to discuss the various problemswhich were bound to arise, and to accept by majority rule those suggestions whichcame from the volunteer companies and the Fire Commissioners.

The problems were varied and multiple. ’The fire companies were chartered,non-profit organizations and owned all of the fire stations and the apparatus andequipment therein. Some few volunteers felt the City should purchase the apparatusand equipment from the companies at their face value. However, wiser heads ruled,and working on the premise that all of the equipment had been purchased by thecitizens of the City, either through donations or actual tax expenditures, the finaldecision resulted in sale of all apparatus and equipment to the City for a token sumof $1.00 with the provision that the City would accept the findings of the vohmteerstudy committee and organize the new Department in full accordance with thefindings.

The following iteras were some of the articles of agreement:

Payment of rental fees to the volnnteer fire companies for the use of the firestations. Leased for $60.00 to $100.00 per month.

The raauner of appointment of the first Chief and his Staff, and the appointmentof permanent men and station officers was spelled out in detail.

It was agreed that a pension plan for the permanent persounel would be grantedas soon as the City could manage it financially.

Full authority for implementing and enforcing rules and regulations of the De-partment was granted to the-Chief.

It was also agreed that the City would continue to follow the suggestions of theNational Board of Fire Underwriters survey and improve the fire service accordingto the limit of financial responsibility.

The appointment of the first Chief Officers was determined after written exam-inations conducted in a neighboring city, under the supervision of their Chief andTraining Division.

Upon appointment, we Chief Officers assembled material for written and oralexaminations to select company captains and lieutenants. This was accomplishedpromptly, and the detail of standardizing the administration and operation of ourDepartment began in earnest and has continued almost without interruption to thepresent time.

Prior to the time of consolidation, the annual budget for fire services, which in-cluded wages for the drivers and f~re alarm personnel, amounted to $132,000 annually.The first budget for the consolidated Department amounted to $370,000 and includedwages for the eighteen men and officers added to the rolls, as well as the mainten-ance and rental of the seven fire stations. This budget provided for fifty-sL,~ per-manent men and two secretaries in February, 1956, and in February, 1966, thebudget is increased to $1,000,000 and provides for 140 employees and operation andmaintenance of nine fire stations. One hundred men have been added to the De-partment from 1956 to 1966.

We still have call men assigned to each station, with one exception, but eachyear, as we add more permanent men, the call men drop out and we are nearingthat time when we will be a fully permanent force. In 1956 we had 150 call men and56 permanent members. ~n 1966 we have 140 permanent men and 60 call men.(Dropped 100 volunteers.)

And what has been the end result of all this energy, effort and money spent?We honestly believe the results have been and will continue to be well worth thecost in dollars and energies.

We now have a fairly good fire prevention program which has eliminated manyhazards from our schools and public buildings. As a result of our vigilance, thebuilding codes have been revised and modernized.

We have a training officer who conducts regular classes indoors and in the fieldat our training grounds. This area has facilities for fighting all types of fires--thereare walls for ladder and rescue drills, rooms for smoke-mask drills, and water forhose and pumping evolutions. There is also a 4-story drill tower.

The most noticeable improvement, however, is the improvement techniques andthe resultant reduction of losses in individual fires.

Another noticeable difference is the result of standard methods of training andstandards of equipment and apparatus.

The fire insurance rates were readjusted from Class C in 1956 to Class B in 1959by the New England Rating Bureau. Although this change benefited all policy holdersin our City, we have minimized the monetary benefits when explaining the advantagesof a permanent fire force over a volunteer organization.

All of our vehicles have 2-way radio transmitters with a fixed frequency tuned toour central alarm headquarters. Most of our men, including the call men, have homereceivers tuned to the same frequency.

We do have rescue service. Four rescue trucks respond to calls for emergencies,render first aid, transport victims to hospitals, and so forth. We also have a reserverescue truck. Last year we answered more than 2,000 such calls. Our men are allrequired to take American Red Cross First Aid Training, plus our own trainingon such subjects as stretcher and carrying practices, underwater recovery andboating accidents. (Applause)

MODERATOR YOUNG: Thank you, Tom. As we move along here, I know youare seeing the trend of things here this morning, through the Panel, and we arenow coming up to the Fire Chief from one of the large cities. This man is very activein the fire service. He has done great, outstanding work in the fire service as Chiefof a large, permanent Department in the City of Lynn, Massachusetts. He is aDirector of the International Association of Fire Chiefs, and he served as Presidentof the New England Division of that Association for the past two years; we are nowhoping that he will be elected Second Vice-President of the International Associationin the month of August, this year. He is also Chairman of the Apparatus Committee,of the Joint Committee of the NFPA and the International Association of Fire Chiefs,and this Committee is setting the standards for fire apparatus and they have devel-oped the pamphlets No. 19 and No. 19-B.

He is also President of the Fire Chiefs Association of Massachusetts, and he hasheld a lot of positions.

Walter Carter is going to cover a couple of subjects here for you, and withoutfurther ado, I give you Chief Walter Carter of Lynn, Massachusetts! (Applause)

CHIEF WALTER CARTER of Lynn, Massachusetts: Mr. Moderator, DistinguishedPanel Members and Ladies and Gentlemen. First, I must thank Bill Young for thatflowery introduction, but as Jim Grote has said, it is really nice to smell the flowerswhen you’re living.

I want to compliment Bill Young on the nice address that he gave, for that wascertainly well-edited and well-delivered to us. I want to thank him, also, for giving outparagraphs 1 through 4 of my speech; and I am not forgetting Chief Duckworth,because he took paragraph 5, and Chief Becker took the in-service program whichwas my paragraph 6. So there’s my speech--gone! (Laughter)

The next time I speak here, I’m going to be the first man. Oh, yes, Jim Grotetook a few lines, too, in telling about the volunteer service.

But then, during the question period, you will, of course, direct them to para-graphs 1 through 7 to these gentlemen! (Laughter)

Seriously, Gentlemen, I made a few notes here, so let us go on from here. We usethe words "volunteer" and "paid" firemen. I think that is a misnomer. We are al!volunteers. We, in the service of the cities, get paid, bcause we have no other call-ing, and you who are in the ~er~cice of our country cousins, onr counties, you haveother work to do, but once we make application to go into the fire service, I thinkit is fair to assume that we are all volunteering, and we are volunteering our verylives in the service of our fellow men.

Therefore, I like to think that I am a volunteer, and you are a volunteer.

I must reiterate what Billl Young said and what your other speakers have saidabout the volunteers they are dedicated men.

In the International Association, last year at the Board of Directors’ meeting,we had quite a discussion, and from that discussion, we wanted to strengthen theposition of the volunteers, because as you lu~ow, in the fire service throughout theUnited States, the volunteers, so-called, comprised 90 per cent of the fire service.

On the other hand, in the Police groups, the volunteers comprised 10 per cent.

So that we have a direct reversal, there. And, we are all going to have to worktogether, as we all do, for the betterment of the fire service.

It was proposed at that time that we have the Volunteer Committee of our Interna-tional Association to meet for two days to discuss these matters, because there can’tbe too much discussion through letters and the like. I was proud to submitYoung’s name as a member of that Committee. Hearing him this morning andknowing his reputation through the State here, I am sure you will agree with methat I submitted the right person.

Today, we think of the so-called Permanent Fire Departments, and with our popu-lation explosion, within ten, fifteen or twenty years, as Chief Duckworth said, therewill be a transition in our home towns, and ~ think that we ought to be gettingready for it.

I think that one of the problems in a city is not the actual fire fighting; it isthe administration procedure, l~Iy work in the city, I would think is about 10 percent on actual fire fighting. As a Chief, I don’t move in on the single alarms. Wehave our District and Deputy Chiefs handling the fires, as well as our Captains, sothat we do not have the opportunities that you people do, in going to the f~res,leading your men and getting in there.

We have our administration problems. We have the problem of a line of com-munication from me to the lowest fire Lieutenant and back up through the line.What ~ mean is this. When you are in the administration end of things, you prob-ably administer wholly by yourself to a few men, but when you get a lot of men,you have to be sure of your line of communication.

Therefore, ~ think that we ought to be thinl~ing of thi~ line of communication.

As to our problems, we have research engineering for every industry cominginto our city. As you know, the high-rise buildings are coming in, and the Federal

Government, with their funds, send in their architects, their fire prevention engineers,and we have to service those poeple, we have to check the plans. We have the build-ing superintendents coming in, and we have to attest, in the Federal Programs, thatthe proper fire prevention and fire protection programs are set forth.

For example, in Lynn, we have two twin-towers, and as tlfis was a Federa! grant,we had to sit down with them probably six or seven times and then write a letterto Washington that we were satisfied that the people in the old-age housing weregoing to have the maximum fire protection for their occupants.

We have the service inspection programs, where two or three u~its go outevery day. Then we have our drilling, so that we have to be sure that we get thenecessary communications out to the various departments, to the various divisions,and this is time-consuming.

We have to speak with some of the industrialists who are coming in for theirplanning, and we have staff meetings and the like, and I think that this is whatyou gentlemen in the vohmteer departments have got to be thinking about.

Also, we have to set up a mutual aid system for large fires, and they have tocome in, sometimes, from thirty to forty miles away.

As to our radio equipment, we have our own men for our own department busi-ness, and in addition, in Lynn, we are on a county mutua! network, which is serv-iced some thirty or forty miles away, on a twenty-four hour basis, so that if wehave to do so, we can call in our apparatus, and they would take it over, if we areat a fire and we have a three or four alarm going; ~f we tell the eotmty network,then from thirty miles away we will get the preper service.

I think that is very important, that we work as a team, because we can learnfrom each other.

On my Committee on the NFPA, we have a Committee entitled "The Committeefor Rural Fire Departments." We have a Chief from Connecticut, Chief Ennis, who isdoing a wonderful job; he came in this year with some suggestions, and I am surethat they were from fellows like yourselves who sat down and keep in mind thatwe sit down with the apparatus mamffacturers, the underwriters and the municipa!fire chiefs, and yet he came in there with some wonderful recommendations forwater tankers for the farm fires, and he is working just as the members of thatvohmteer group are working.

So these are the pertinent points that sholAd be occupying your minds in thenear future.

Jim Grote said something to the effect that they were glad to get the farmers.f want to reiterate this; I say that we need each other, and we need each othervery much in the fire service today. We have to provide a professional status forourselves.

Do you know that in the Poverty Program the" Police Departments are gettinggrants of $200,000 to $300,000, and in the Fire Departments, what are we getting?We should be getting it, too. But, they do have J. Edgar Hoover, who sends out a little

bulletin once in a while, and we don’t have our national representative doing thosethings, as Chief ~eyers said, but we are moving in, to get in on the urban and healthprograms, so that we, too, can benefit from all of this. I think that these things are ofgreat importance to all of us~ because we are not volunteer departments or paiddepartments, but we are members of the fire service.

Thank you very much for inviting me to be with you on this Panel today.(Applause)

MODERATOR YOUNG: Thank you, Walter, and thank you, too, for the kindwords you said about me; they are greatly appreciated. You really know how toput it on.

The Panel Members have their microphones up here at the table, and ChiefPitney and Chief A1 Wright have the roving microphones, down on the floor. Now,Gentlemen, ! know that you are all awake; I have seen you moving around, andyou are active. Who wants to ask the first question of the Panel? It is a great honorto be first, and I am sure you must have some questions from these smart PanelMembers.

CHIEF SWEENEY of New Haven: I was interested in Chief Duckworth’s evalua-tion of his Department. He said, I think, that he had fifteen engine companies and threetrucks. Is that correct?

CHIEF DUCKWORTH: That is right. Perhaps I should elaborate a little bit onthat. We have fifteen. We have eight first-line engine companies.

CHIEF SWEENEY of New Haven: What is the population of your city?

CHIEF DUCKWORTH: It is around 80,000.

CHIEF SWEENEY of New Haven: Well, fifteen engine companies, with the threetrucks -- that kind of threw me off balance a bit.

CHIEF DUCKWORTH: That is right. In other words, they are double engine com-panies. One is reserve, and the call men come in to cover the other piece.

MODERATOR YOUNG: Very good. Who else has a question?

CHIEF HAYES from East Haven, Connecticut: My question is to Chief O’Sulli-van. You rnentioned having thirty-five men, call men. What percentage of thosethirty-five men do you get on an alarm for a fire? You mentioned paying them$1.75 an hour. Can you look for all thirty-five men on all alarms, and do you needthat many, or how do a certain number come out on a certain call, and more fora different type of call?

CHIEF O’SULLIVAN: Our average will run about twenty to twenty-two percal!; very rarely do we ever get the thirty-five, mainly because my friend, ChiefPitney, has five or six of my men over there, and when they are working for him,they can’t leave him and come to us.

We do seem to have a lot better response at night, after five o’clock, when wehave probably about 75 per cent of our men from the Naval Base. The men on theNaval Base are allowed one hour, and if the fire lasts longer, they have to take itoff their annual leave. Each man is paid the $1.75 for the length of time he is there.That is a kind of a sacred thing with us. The roll is called when the whistle is blown,and the time goes from then until the trucks are back and in service again. We haveeight years, and he checks his clock very faithfully; if the clock says an hour andtwenty-nine minutes, he gets an hour, and if the clock says an hour and thirty-onea Secretary there who has been the Secretary for about twenty-seven or twenty-minutes, he gets two hours’ pay. They get two hours as a minimum.

MODERATOR YOUNG: What do you use for an alarm system? How do youget them to know that you have a fire?

CHIEF O’SULLIVAN: We have a central dispatcher, handling the police and firecalls; he has a special phone for fire. When he gets a call, he takes the call and hethen has to decide which department to call in. It could be the Kittery or the KitteryPoint Department. We have two separate alarm systems. He has a button, and if hehas the fire call from Kittery, he pushes the button, and the siren wails five times,twice, or ten blows. The first man is ready at the station with communications; hetakes the call, writes it on the board (we hope), and sometimes it is the driver, if thedriver is a little anxious, for he is apt to want to go right then and there.

We do very well, however. As a matter of fact, I suppose Chief Pitney has amonitor over there, and they keep trying to check us, on time, and it is very rarelythat we aren’t on the road in three to four minutes.

We have fellows who live by, and close to the station, so that our truck is generallyon the road in three or four minutes.

CHIEF LEO McCABE of Medford, Mass.: This is a "paragraph" cal! to ChiefCarter! My problem is my own town, relative to staff meetings, and in getting all theDeputy Chiefs on the rotating shifts. Do you have to pay compensation to them, ifthey are on the payroll, when they come back to staff meetings?

CHIEF CARTER: No. In most cases, thank the Lord, at this point, we have adedicated group, and they will come back. You do have a problem, though, ChiefMcCabe, in that particular area. You would have to set it up, and I don’t know howyour budget operates, but yon should be able to provide it in your so-called overtimepay, if you have it, and if not, I would suggest that you talk with your City Managerand no doubt he could probably see the light, because these things are important, andI think you ought to move in that direction.

CHIEF CARTER: Are there any other questions?

QUESTION: Chief Carter, the 41/2 plastic hose is that being proper and beingbought by the larger cities throughont the country? I know that England was a pioneerin this, and I wondered how far this has gone.

CHIEF CARTER: At this time, we haven’t moved too much in that direction;there are some areas where they have tried the English hose. I know they have been apioneer in that direction, and he has been pretty wel! satisfied with that.

Last month, in New York, we did tall; with a German representative, and he hassome of that hose and he is going to send it over, and we will probably test it. I knowthat Warren Kimball talked, out in California, with a couple of the American mann-factnrers, and some of the hose hasn’t worked out well, bnt with the sample I haveseen and in listening to him, of course, yon can’t tell about it too much, by listening,but he seems to have a good product there, and we will probably have some researchdata within three to six months.

MODERATOR YOUNG: I think that this particular snbject is something wherethe need has been proven, especially out in the rural areas, where yon have got to runa long hose line, rather than double up with two or three 2!/2 inch hoses. If yot~ get thelarger-sized hose and get the water there, all right.

Recently, in Newington, we had a bad fire, and we had to lay two 2b~ inch hoses;I wish we had had a truck loaded with the large-sized hose, because we could have lainone line, and had plenty of water.

I might ask Chief Becker this question. Along with the training programs, do youfind you have to use anything to have the firemen take this training throughout theState, or is it something that they are anxious for, and you can’t keep up with them?

CHIEF BECKER: We find, in the first place, that the number of instructors islimited in the State. We only have nine. And we are all fellows who have other jobs,and we cannot keep up with the program.

We don’t try to sell the program. But, as we go along, we find that more andmore interest is stirred up in the thing.

Even in our Fire Academy last year, we reached men whom we hadn’t reachedbefore, and they go back to their departments and sen the department on the idea ofthe 45-hour training program and the operation courses. So that we have about all thetraining scheduling we can keep up with at the present time.

MODERATOR YOUNG: Thank you, Chief Becker. Jim Grote has something tosay on that score, too.

CHIEF GROTE: In Connecticut, we are fortunate in so many ways. Each andevery individual who goes to the school, I make sure that he gets his week’s wages,and it is really a vocation with him. He gets his week’s wages; we pay for his dinner,and if he uses the thru-way, we pay for that. Al! of those things are a great encour-agement for the men.

Now, the reason we do that is so that they can get something out of the fireservice, and we have no trouble at all along that line.

CHIEF MARTIN of Northampton:I forget which one of you gentlemen spokeon having insurance on the vohmteers.

MODERATOR YOUNG: Tl~at was chief O’Sullivan.

CHIEF MARTIN of Northampton: Recently, I happened to go on mutua! aid to atown. The Chief is a friend of mine, and in the reverse lane, when they were backingup, one of the volunteers jumped off the back of the truck with the nozzle and thehose, and one of the men was run right ever with the rear wheels, crushing his head,and of course, he was killed.

His wife was left with three smal! children, and one was in the cradle. I havereason to believe from what I have heard the men say that al! they had was $!,000 ininsurance.

Does any one know of any law where help can be obtained? Is there any placethat she can be taken care of, the same as a permanent man would, in the department,at least in Massachusetts?

CHIEF O’SULLIVAN: !u our particular case, we wotfld be in the same situationthat you have explained to us. I believe that our policy is $!,000 on the death benefit.

MODERATOR YOUNG: Jim wants to give us a word or two on this matter.

CHIEF GROTE: In Connecticut, we have a $10,000 policy for the volunteers. Weare now working along the lines, and I think that some of the paid men can answeras to how far they have gotten with theirs, where you will pay $80.00 for your firstpiece of equipment, and $20.00 for each additional piece of equipment, regardless ofwhether you have fifty men or five thousand men in your company.

My heart goes out to that poor widow, whose husband has answered his last call.

Unfortunately, we had four who passed away in the first year, under our policy,which is with the Hartford Mutual Insurance Company; yet, each family received$1o,ooo.

We also carry a protection for our men, and we pay them $80.00 a week, $50.00 forcompensation and $30.00 from the Connecticut State Firemen’s Association.

Now, you may say: "Well, I make $120.00 a week."

And I wotdd say: "You had better take the $80.00 because I can remember whendidn’t get 80-cents a week."

Those men can get the $80.00 for 208 weeks. And right here, we might let ourConnecticut boys in on a little secret; we are operating, now, to strike out the 208weeks, because we have some disabled men, particularly one from Waterbury withone arm and one leg, and the four years were up quite a while ago, so that we wantto strike out the 208 weeks and put in there "For the duration of the illness or injury."And that would mean whether it is four, five or six years, or God kaxows for how long.Perhaps we are a little ahead of you on that sort of thing.

I believe that if you look into the Hartford Mutua! Insurance (a plug for Hartford)they may help you on such a matter.

MODERATOR YOUNG: That is right. In Newington, we are in the HartfordMutual Group, and we are ~ve]l taken care of. It costs you quite a bit of money, butit’s worth it.

CHIEF SWEENEY of New Haven: I might add that the widow wil! receive $!4.00a week for each child tmtil they are eighteen, or through school; this is in additionto what Chief Grote has said about compensation in Conneefieut.

You might be interested to know that in the City of New Haven, the widow wouldget full pay for the rest of her life.

CHIEF GEORGE BULGER of Rumford, Maine: This is in no way intended tosteal Chief O’Sullivan’s thunder, but in the State of Maine, we have enabling legisla-tion that is administered at the county level, wherein departments can be insuredthrough various agencies that have been insuring in the State, and under some of thepresent policies, and, u~fortunately, we experienced an accident similar to what wasalready stated here, wherein the widow did receive $5,000 and hospital expenses.

So that we do have that enabling legislation, and it is administered through theconnty commissioners in the State of Maine, through separate insurance agencies.

CHIEF ROBERT F. ULM of Easthampton, Massachusetts: I, too, am interestedin that situation that the Chief spoke about. We visited the widow in this communityin Massachusetts with Chief Doherty last week, with contributions from ourDepartment.

I think what Chief Martin is trying to find out is whether there is any one inMassachusetts, who is a member of the vohmteer fire department, who knows of anyState legislation or Act, whereby a similar situation has been taken care of, so thatmaybe this widow can get some sort of compensation for the loss of her husband.

If there is any one here who has any information along that line, I would appreci-ate it if they would put us wise to it, so that we could follow up on the situation to helpher out.

CHIEF MURRAY of Weymouth, Massachusetts: I am quite sure that in Massa-chusetts, there is legislation and, from memory, I would say it was Section III, orSection III(a) of Chapter 42; but, that is from memory, and I could be slightly off,there.

I do have a certain number of volunteers, as we call them, ca!l firefighters, and if,in the performance of their duties while they are at the fire, they are injured, theywould be compensated on the basis that a permanent paid firefighter would be compen-sated. ! feel quite sure that m~der the Massachusetts legislation, that man would beeligible; that is, his widow, of course, would be eligible on the basis of that weekly ora~mual salary, for the rest of her life, or until she should or might re-marry; then,of course, I believe it would end.

I am qnite sure there is legislation to that effect.

CHIEF SHERLOCK of Ashburnham, Massachusetts: In answer to that questionon insurance, we had an insurance policy which paid $!,000, and then hospitalization.I lost a man in the department, and our town is under the Worcester County Retire-ment System; however, unless you were earning $200.00 or more,, you were deniedadmittance to the retirement system. Well, I was advised how to circumvent that wasto petition the Retirement Board for admittance, and ff you were denied that, then thatconstituted denia! to the system.

Now, the widow and her three children, since the death of this man, are entitledto $1,200 a year, until she dies or re-marries, and there has been the sum of $300.00 ayear for each of the children. She is now receiving $1,500 because two of the childrenhave since married. But, as I say, that is a provision of the, Worcester County Retire-merit System. If, in this area where this accident occured, there is a Retirement Sys-tem, I would strongly advise that they investigate that part of it.

MODERATOR YOUNG: Thank you very much. Are there any other questions ofthe Panel at this time?

CHIEF KNIGHT of Rocldand, Maine: Chief Carter touched very slightly onsomething that has been bothering me for some time now, and I know it has beenbothering other Chiefs. He touched on the fact, for example, of the information handeddown from the national leve!, with reference to the permanent police and firemen.

In other words, the Police Department, through their Public Relations program,which is what they are trying to do for the police on the radio talks, and so forth, andthey are getting that through their National Safety Council and other sources, andthey are getting al! kinds of information pertaining to their line, including some thingsthat they can disseminate to the public, and it makes them aware of what they aredoing, all around.

I am wondering, Chief Carter, if, in the International Association now, could we,the Chie,~s in the smaller departments, be looking forward to receiving some informa-tion in that respect, such as they do get in the police service?

CHIEF CARTER: We ar.e moving in that direction as of now, I might say. Lastmonth, we had a committee of five in the International Association contact the Secre-tary of Health, Education and Welfare Program Chairman, Mr. Weaver; ~vhat we aretrying to do is to establish one Chief in his so-called Cabinet.

Then, when we get some one in there, I think that we will have an excellent chanceof moving in the direction of grants and information and achieving a national stature,which we very much need.

I am sure that the International Association, within a matter of months, will havesome information on this. That is why, in my talk, I suggested to you Chiefs to go tothe International Association Conference, where that information wozdd be provided.

We have a monthly Newsletter, and we are trying to establish our stature and ourprofessional image, and we do need numbers, as you know, and if we can interest thevolunteer areas, then we have interested 90 per cent of the fire service.

Secretary Weaver has promised an answer to our Committee within a matter ofmonths. That is al! I can tell you at this time.

CHIEF KNIGHT of Rockland, Maine: I belong to the International and have for anumber of years. The Newsletter is fine, but it doesn’t go far enough regarding anyinformation that you can use readily.

I think ffaat some one who might be in a position to get some publicity downus would be a tremendous help in the fire service.

IVIODERATOR YOUNG: You are looking for publicity material, to be sent to you,which can be used for publicity purposes; is that right?

CHIEF I~!GHT of Rockland, Maine: Yes. I am in the. fire service part-time andI don’t have the time to write articles for publication, and write articles to go on theair over the local radio station. I feel that we should be getting that information fromthe International Association, and I hope that they are working on it.

MODERATOR YOUNG: There is another organization that can come in here onthis, and that is the NFPA, as we]!, to get all the Fire Chiefs on their mailing list, sothat we can provide the material to the, general public.

CHIEF CARTER: Here is one other point. We are trying to establish these com-mittees, and this was the purpose of having Bill Young go to Chicago; he is going tofile a report and it wi!! be found in the Newsletters; just as in our Apparatus Commit-tee, I tried to file and keep you informed on apparatus. And this is how we aremoving forward.

Your point is well taken, Chief, and thank you.

MODERATOR YOUNG: As we have gotten into the field of apparatus, there isone question that many of us want some information on. Some of us are using the!1/2 inch pre-connected hose at the present time. We. have some suggestions as tothe 21/2 inch pre-connected hose. Chief Carter, what do you have to say on that?

CHIEF CARTER: I ordered three pieces of apparatus some two years ago, andthink that was probably about the first to try a pre-connected 2~ inch on my appara-

tus in our city. We have found it to be very good.

I would never order any apparatus without putting a pre-connected 2~ inch, andwe run it from the rear. We run four men on the company. We have !250 pumps, andthey have a 400-gallon water tank. It has been my experience with one of our down-town companies that a pre-connected 21/~ inch has saved one of our large churches.

We went in there, and we had a fire in the attic, on a Sunday morning. We hadthe !00-foot aerial stretched, and they took the pre-eonnected, and a]! hands moved inand we broke the window very conveniently; the fire was to the left of th~ window,and when they attacked the fire, it was 35-feet in the loft, going away from them.

Gentlemen, if you had to stretch a line to the hydrant, it would have taken probablya minute and a half, and the fire would have gone the length of the loft, and we wouldhave lost out,

I would emphasize to you that you ought to consider the possibility, in your nextspecifications, of our 21A inch pre-conneeted.

We do use 600-feet of 3-inch, on all of onr attacks. We do have the water. We havefound out that we can use a 1-inch nozzle, and it will last for probably 1 minute and40 or 45 seconds, and by that time, the second piece ought to be in supplying the firstpiece, and it has worked out very well.

Here is another point. If you have, like we do, a lot of tenements, side-wall exteri-ors, then if you can get the pre-connected, and give that a dash or a bang, you havea lot of the fire gone.

Let me take one more minute. You Chiefs ought to have in your libraries thePamphlet No. 19, and also the new one, Pamphlet No. !9-B, because they will showyou what to look for, when you are buying apparatus.

There are some minimum standards, but you Chiefs ought to look these over care-fully, because some of the apparatus manufacturers will catch up with you, if you don’tput a comma in it. So you ought to look at it, and make sure. your piping is adequate.

These are, incteed, two very nice pamphlets.

IV[ODERATOR YOUNG: What is the length of it?

CHIEF CARTER: We carry 200-feet on most of them. We do have a couple ofpre-connects in the outlying areas, and we have limited it to 150.

Downtown, in our busy companies, we have a 200-foot length.

CHIEF SWEENEY of New Haven: I might ask you, Walter, do you disregardthat line and run a new one?

CHIEF CARTER: If we need that, rather than to start to piece it out, we have aline coming in. Our companie~ come in, with two trucks on most of the boxes, and wehav.e the other fellow with his line, and rather than disconnecting that, we take asecond line.

1ViODERATOR YOUNG: Are there any other questions? If not, I am going to turnto the Panel and see if they have any final summation they wish to make at this time?

Chief Becket, do you wish to give us your thought for the day?

CHIEF BECKER: Of course, I am in other training programs, and I should liketo direct this to our Chief from Maine, Chief O’Sullivan; what sort of training pro-gram is carried on by the State of maine?

CHIEF O’SULLIVAN: Our State Board of Education has instructors, and anydepartments can contact them and they will train their departments in any type oftraining that they want throughout the State.

MODERATOR YOUNG: Jim Grote, do you have a thought for the day?

CHIEF GROTE: I don’t have too much. I am going to try to answer a question,which relates ~o my friend, the Chief from Lynn. We have to realize that he comesfrom a big, wealthy city, and they have everything to do with. Has he ever calledupon the volunteers to give him a hand?

CHIEF CARTER: The Volunteers are a part of our program, Jim. We are sur-rounded by some counties and we are calling upon and working with them all thetime. I want to reiterate that we need each other. We use, them every day and we areall part of the fire service, and believe me, I am pleased that they are right there.

MODERATOR YOUNG: Thank you, Walter. Tom Duckworth, have you somethingto add, with which to finish?

CHIEF DUCKWORTH: No. I have one question here. I don’t think it was elabo-rated too much, here, on tankers~ and I wondered what has been done in that respect?

CHIEF CARTER: That Rural Committee came in with some good recommenda-tions, and they are set forth in the new Standards .that will be coming out. We met inNew York in February, and at that time, they placed the minimum reqnirements oftankers and they will give credit for tankers, if they are not a make-shift job, andif they meet the requirements of the Underwriters. But, we haven’t progressed farenough in the tanker field.

We did feel, after reviewing the work of the Rural Cemmittee, that we would havea little this year, and then move in on the next annual meeting and come in withsome specific recommendations.

The California group is moving in with some new tanker requirements, and I thinkthat we have some very rigid specifications for next year.

I~iODERATOR YOUNG: Ken, do you have a final word that you would like togive to us?

CHIEF O’SULLIVAN: In your opening remarks, you mentioned happy firemen.And, happiness is beautiful. Well, it is near that!

MODERATOR YOUNG: How well I know it. I do want to thank the Panel for thefine job done, and I want to turn this meeting back, now, to Bob Ulm, but before I do,I think that we should give our Program Chairman, Bob Ulm, a rising vote of thanks!

(The audience rose and there was prolonged applause.)

PROGRA~J CHAIRMAN ROBERT F. ULM: Thank you very much. I appreciatethis. Y~ost of the credit belongs to Bill Young, an excellent member of our Committee.

At this time, I should hke to ask this important question. It has been ~ome yearssince we have had a Workshop of this type. I have been here in the front row, andI have been interested in everything that was said, particularly the questions from thefloor.

(The vote was almost unanimous.)

I would say that by your showing of hands, it was almost unanimous, and I wouldfurther say that we have gained a great deal from this session.

Our thanks to Bill Young and to our excellent Panel for a wonderful session thismorning, a fine job, well done! (Applause)

TOASTMASTER SEAVEY: Ladies and Gentlemen, if I may have your attention,it is a very great pleasure for me at this time to present to you Robert Rhodes,Safety Commissioner for the State of New Hampshire, who is representing the Honor-able John W. King, Governor of New Hampshire.

HONORABLE ROBERT RHODES: Thank you very much, Ralph. Reverend Clergy,Mr. Mayor, General Thyng, al! Fire Chiefs and their Ladies, and Guests. I am sorrythat I was late this evening, but I live in Meredith, up in ~d~e Lakes Region, and Icould not convince my wife, after this week-end, that we should come down here bymotorcycle; she made me come by automobile! (Laughter)

I am certainly grateful to be here this evening and to have the opportnnity torepresent the Governor of New Hampshire, John W. King, at this 44th Annual NewEngland Association of Fire Chiefs’ Conference. Governor King was unable to bepresent, due to a prior commitment, but he requested that I convey to each of youhis personal good wishes and a warm welcome to the State of New Hampshire.

Very little is ever said about a group of firemen, the men who go forth from dayto day to risk their lives in the protection of property and the lives of others. Theduties of firemen are performed with no expectation of reward, except possibly theassurance that people wil! exercise more care in the prevention of fires.

Fire is the world’s greatest paradox and man’s worst enemy as well as man’s bestfriend. It is a marvellous servant, when properly handled, but it is a dreaded masterwhen it gets the upper-hand.

Fire hazards are not as great as they were in the olden days, for even in thecountry today, Mrs. O’Leary’s cow wot~ld have a hard time finding a lantern to kickover, because the barn would be lighted by electricity.

HoweveL there is one thing, we deplore, and that is, preventable fires, the firesdue to carelessness that result in tremendous sacrifices of life and loss of property andwhich endanger our lives unnecessarily. But, with al! our fire prevention methods and

improved fire apparatus, there is always a rea! danger. The villages and the smalltowns, particularly in the upper regions of New England, have need of men who arewilling to serve with flame and smoke. The volunteer fire. department is something ofwhich a community should be proud. You all deserve much credit. More stress is beingplaced on fire protection than in former years, and any system of education or trainingwill receive the hearty support of the Department of Safety.

I would be remiss at this time, if I did not recognize outstanding work of AudreyRobinson, our outstanding State Fire Marshal, and the work of his Deputy, HerbWhitney and the investigators under their supervision.

Governor King is more than pleased that you selected the Granite State for yourAnnual Conference, and we know that you will take home with you a great deal ofknowledge that you have derived from the Conference, and this information will bemost meaningful and beneficial to your departments.

You Fire Chiefs, haVing the responsibility of supervision over your men, remindme of a story of how difficult it is to please every one. A friend of mine was in thehabit of leaving his home early every evening and visiting a nearby tavern; he wouldnot return home until many hours later. This made his wife very ~measy and veryunhappy, and one evening, she determined to go, herself, to visit the tavern and tosee what he was doing there.

At the tavern, she found her husband, sitting at the bar, drinldmg some liquor. Shewalked up to him and sat beside him and she asked him what he was drinking, and hetold her it was bourbon. She ordered a glass of bourbon from the bar keeper. Theglass was set beside her, and she drank a large gulp of it, raade a face, and gaveevery evidence that it was most distasteful. The husband noticed her expression andhe said:

"You thought I came here every evening to enjoy myself!" (Laughter)

We, in New Hampshire, hope that a!! of you came to the V~enfwor~h to enjoy your-selves, and I do know that your Commi~ee and the New Hampshire Chiefs will doeverything possible to make your visit most enjoyable on this occasion.

In closing, I should lfi~e t0 have you bear with me in one consolation. Havingfought fires so successfully over ~he years, each of you should have no fears of thehereafter! (Laughter)


TOASTMASTER SEAVEY: Our next speaker really needs no introduction, but itgives me great pleasure to ask l~ayor Timothy Connors for a few words at this time!

HONORABLE TIMOTHY J. CONNORS: Thank you very much, President Ralph.Reverend Clergy, Commissioner Rhodes, General Thyng, Mayor Edgerley and thenew President to be elected tomorrow, Distinguished Guests at the Head Table,Ladies and Gentlemen. It is my pleasure to welcome you here this evening to theTown of New Castle, although. I am the Mayor of the City of Portsmouth. This is avery unique set-up, isn’t it?

I promised you the other day when we first met on Monday in the Ba!l Room thatyou would have good weather, and I think that we handled that quite all right. Isn’tthat all right, Mr. Secretary?

SECRETARY KIMBALL: It surely is.

HONORABLE TIMOTHY J. CONNORS: I do hope that you have enjoyed your-selves here at the meetings you have attended and I hope you have attended a fewand that they have been fruitful for you and that you will bring back some knowledgeto your loca! Fire Departments.

We, in Portsmouth, are blessed with a good Fire Department, and as you know,we have Chief Crompton.

In talking with the good Father, we are comparing notes abont fire departmentsin Rhode Island and New Hampshire, and I believe that the most dedicated men inthe United States are firefighters because they always come to the call of their fellewworkers, and I think the most patient women in the world are the ladies of these fire-men, and I think they should be congratulated.

In conclusion, al! I would like to say is -- Goodnight, and come back again andGod bless you all! (Applause)

TOASTMASTER SEAVEY: Thank you, Mr. Mayor. He sounded as if he had acold or something, but I guess the reason for that is because Mrs. Conners happens tobe with him tonight!

It now gives me great pleasure to present to you the Honorable Ralph S. Frobisher,Chairman of the Board of Selectmen of New Castle, New Hampshire. (Applause)

HONORABLE RALPH S. FROBISHER: Mr. Toastmaster, Reverend Clergy, Hon-ored Guests, members of the New England Association of Fire Chiefs and their Ladies.We in New Castle are very happy with the situation where the Mayer of Portsmeuthgets invited to ~he Wentworth, but we still collect the taxes!

One night last winter, there was a howling northeaster going on, and the wind wasblowing about forty miles an hour, and the snow was coming down like fury. PatFlanagan was walking up the Main Street of New Castle, and he was hit by a carand thrown ten feet np against the side of a house, which is easy to do on our MainStreet. Wel!, he was in the snowbank, and the people in the house heard the bang, andthey came out and dug into the snow and found Pat and dragged him into the house.

He looked badly injured. They called for a doctor; Pat was out cold. In a fewminutes, and before the doctor came, Pat came to, and the people in the house told Patthat they thought he was seriously injured, and perhaps they had better send for aclergyman. So they sent for the Reverand Arthur Greeley, and the man of the housesaid:

"You know, he is the Methodist minister in Portsmouth. Do you want him?"

"Yes, I do; I want him."

"Or, perhaps we had better send for a priest."

"Oh, no," said Pat. "Who’d want the good Father to come out on a night likethis?" (Laughter)

This afternoon, there was a Lincoln Continental convertible that pulled up outsidethe swimming pool, and a beautifu!, gorgeous young thing got out and headed for thepool. She had on one of the la~est Bikinis, a little piece about two inches here andanother little piece about three inches wide here and the rest was bronze skin. Shestarted for the pool, and Jim Smith came along and he looked at her, rather shocked~and he said to her:

"Young lady, what would your mother say if she saw you in that outfit?"

And the young lady said:

"She’d be awfully mad; it belongs to her." (Laughter)

We are very happy to have you all here at your 44th Annual Conference, and wesincerely hope you have enjoyed yourselves and that you w~ continue to do so andmake it back here for your 45th Annual Conference and your 22nd visit back here.(Applause)

TOASTI~[ASTER SEAVEY: The next one I want to introduce, and I say thissincerely, not because he is my boss and he knows my reputation that I wouldn’t saythis if I didn’t mean it, but he is a fine fellow, and it is an honor for me to have myMayor of Rochester, New Hampshire here, the Honorable Royal Edgerley.(Applause)

HONORABLE ROYAL EDGERLEY: Thank you, Chief. It is certainly a pleasurefor me to be here this evening. You have done me a great favor today. Last week,Chief Seavey came to my office and said that they have made a few renovations withinthe confines of the structure, for the firemen, and then he said:

"Now, I think that you and I ought to talk a bit to see what we can do about theChief’s pay."

said: "All right; we’ll talk about it."

Then he said: "I have to go to the Conference, and ~vhen I come back, we cantalk about it."

Well, do you lmow that today, I formal out that you people very appropriately gaveham $100.00! (Laughter) So that rea!ly, this is above and beyond what I wasintending to give him, and I want to thank you all very much! (Applause)

I am sorry that this building is not in Rochester for two reasons: First because oftaxes that we do not receive, and secondly, I like to have yo~. come ~o Rochester andsee our fine Fire Department that your President has there. To me, he is second tonone! Again, I want to thank you for inviting me here tonight. (Applause)

TOASTMASTER SEAVEY: Thank you very much. I guess it wasn’t so smart towin that hundred dollars.

Before I introduce our next speaker, I should like to introduce two ladies. First,Mrs. Thyng, wife of the General, who is our main speaker this evening. Also, Mrs.Robert Rhodes. (Applause)

It is now my pleasure to introduce a gentleman who is a credit to his country. Hehas served most of his life in the Army. He attained the rank of General, and he isnow retired. It is now ray great pleasure to introduce to you the man who will be thenext United States Senator from New Hampshire, Genera! Harrison R. Thyng.(Applause)

GENERAL HARRISON R. THYNG: That is about the best introduction I haveever had! Thank you, Chief! Reverend Clergy, Mayor Connors, Distinguished l~Iembersat the Head Table, Chiefs, all, your Ladies, and Friends. I am deeply appreciative ofhaving this opportunity to be with you tonight. I know I am among comrades, becauseover the years we have put out fires together, and you are the type of men who areresponsible for the growth of this country, the development of this country, and themen who have that little bit extra to give to this country of ours, and you give it sofreely.

Furthermore, I realize the time you give in your work-week and your salaries, forthey are comparable to the service life, and our rewards certainly are not monetary.However, we know what you contribute, and I say to your wives here tonight that Iknow how proud you must be of your husbands, because you know they have that littlesomething extra that makes our country foremost, the leader.

What I am going to say to you tonight is factual. I consider it necessary and properand I shah attempt to present these facts concisely and in a brief manner.

What the American people have brought forth during these past two centuries hasbeen pretty startling to the rest of the world. This country, by using foresight, wisdom,tenacity, has built the greatest industrial complex, the strongest military protectionand the most successfully diversified society that the world has ever known. But,building a country and keeping that country are two different things.

Our national and foreign spending programs are reducing us to a position of beingon the defensive, from a commercial and military standpoint.

Moral leadership has stink so low that in the United Nations, we are almostready to accept the gangster government, or at least to offer minimmn resistance tothe admission of it.

The whole attitude towards the government of l~ed China should be reviewed, forin contemporary language, we don’t need peace at any cost. That great American,Theodore Roosevelt, once said:

"The things that will destroy America are, peace at any price, prosperity at anyprice, safety first, instead of duty, love of soft living, and the Get-Rich-Quick theoryof life."

His foresight regarding our s~ah~s quo today is ali too apparent. S~a~us quo, thatis Latin for "the lness we are in" and Patrick Henry, that great American whom noone dares to mention any more in contemporary circles, said:

"Is life so dear and peace so sweet that it is bought at the price of chains andslavery?"

In other words, peace at any cost.

What softies we are today? Yes, what utterly irresponsible softies?

Freedom is very precious, and we have only known it for a few moments in thehistory of this world, and most of those moments have been right here in our Consti-tutional form of government. But, what a paradox of freedom? We repudiate ourfriends and we build up our enemies. We attempt to fight a war half a world away topreserve individua! freedom, and the matter of individual freedom arose here at home.We have built up the tottering economies of Tire and Nasser, and yet we phase outthe defensive installations, one by one, in the vain hope that our enemies wil! notproliferate.

In 1963, the only military men who even dared to partially impose the Moscowtest treaty, Admira! Lamson, Tom Powers, Lel~ay, Arthur Trudeaux~ all of them wereretired.

The present Chief of Staff, Ear! Wheeler, played patti-cake with the proponents ofthe Test Ban and at times appeared more vocal than the architects of the plan. Andright now, the Joint Chiefs are selected "Yes" men, with m~nimum authority.

Another interesting sidelight, in Mr. McNamara’s stringent policies, is the now-famous TFX A~rcraft Contract Award, this 6~ billion-dollar l~[cNamara misfit is nowin production. However, what its nltimate use will be, no one knows. I flew for twenty-sL’~ and a half years and I know airplanes, and believe me, this airplane is exactlywhat I have called it. Of what ultimate use the Navy and the Air Force will put it, isquestionable. It is supposed to be capable of flying higher and faster and farther, witha heavier pay-load, than any other production aircraft in current use. It can do one ofthose things at a time, but not two at a time.

How do we get ourselves into these ridiculous messes?

Why do the so-called experts expound so to the administratlen?

Former President Eisenhower answered that in a warning in his farewel! address.He forecast the buying of scientific brain power, plus the expenditures of billions ofdollars in lush government contracts, with the result that all parties involved in ourdefense efforts and foreign policy speak with one accord. President Eisenhower said:

"The prospect of domination of the nation’s scholars by Federal employment proj-ects on all occasions and the power of money are ever-present; partly because of thehuge costs involved, a government contract becomes virtually a substitute for intel-lectual curiosity."

Many hundreds of members of the scientific and academic world are employed ona full-time basis, in these th~nk tanks. Their salaries have reached fantastic propor-tions. The top thinker in the Aerospace program, for example, is getting $91,000 ayear. Other thinkers have been compensated at a rate of $3,000 per page of materia!,in turning out administration reports, and the administration solidifies its position in

the field of opinion-making by subsidizing pro-administration newspapers and maga-zines for overseas distribution, and by buying in bulk for the use of the United StatesInformation Agency--Life Magazine, Time, Newsweek, Saturday Evening Post, tomention only a few of them. And there is a slim chance, indeed, that these stalwartsdisagree with administration policy.

Now, it isn’t quite factual that the men of the administration fail to tell us whatis going on in government. They do. But, they are prone to talk over our heads, andwhen you compare the remarks of our officials, you will actually find that they aretelling us that we are being unilaterally designed. They tell us in sophisticated languagethat we are considering the recognition of Red China, and they tell us we are notfighting to win in Viet Nam.

The catch is this. The language is so involved that the average American, in hisbusy world, doesn’t assimilate it. It is told with fancy-sounding words that indicate onething, but in reality mean quite the contrary.

One national magazine referred to this as "code talk."

A classic example of code talk is apparent when the President quotes from theBible: "Let us reason together." But, he fails to finish this quotation from the Bookof Isaiah: "If ye refuse, ye shall be devoured with the soul."

Have you ever wondered whether the President can say one thing one day andour Secretary of State say something diametrically opposed to it on the following day,and there is no resulting friction between the two individuals?

The next time it happens, read carefully what both have said, and then you willbegin to understand the code. This is an old advertising gimmick.

As I review our Declaration of Independence, there is one sentence originallydirected at King George that still stands out, and it is true today as it was two hun-dred years ago. He has sent hither swarms of officers to harass our people. And thatis strong language, you say. Wel!, it only takes twelve doctors for every 10,000 Ameri-cans to keep this nation healthy and well, but it takes !30 Federal bureaucrats forevery 10,000 people, just to administer the affairs of State. We are told that we enjoyunprecedented prosperity at home, but at the same time, our Federal Government isspending 70 billion dollars a year in 42 different agencies of public welfare.

It has been estimated that the American business man spends 20 billion dollars ayear just filling out government forms, and we are taxed another 7 billion dollars forstoring this paper.

When our enemies refer to us as a paper-tiger, possibly they are not far frombeing right. Frankly, the intentions of this administration appear to be good, Ibelieve. This administration appears to want to be helpful. But,. there is such a thingas being too helpful. , .

Take the War on Poverty, for ins.tan.c~; no one can say that the intent of theprogram isn’t good. But, did you know that the 6ost of the present Job Corps has sofar been. $50,000 per graduate? The question isn’t poverty. We have the means to

cope with that. The real problem is how to attack it, successfully. The present program,as it is presently being administered, could very well turn out to be a war on pros-perity, not on poverty.

In the field of National Security, we are being disarmed, bit by bit, and because ofhis own computers, Secretary McNamara has virtually scrapped the B-70 program.

Disconnting the events, the military value of this program is that it would havebenefitted the United States, and the commercial~ valu~ of such an aircraft could be fan-tastic. The B-70 program would enable us to have sup~rsoulc airliners ou the commer-cial market five years before any other country. The initial result in sales could morethan pay the cost of development. --- -

In recent years, no aircraft companies or consolidation of companies have beenable to support the cost of development. !n our present-day jets, they are the immedi-ate offspring and initiated by President Eisenhower, and slated for a full assignmentin 1965, and I refer to the KC-!35, the B-52 and the B-70. Right now, this is dead, asdead as a dodo bird, and there is. only one prototype in existence, and futurv evaluationtests have been postponed indefi~tely.

The scrapping of the Dinosaur Program by Secretary McNamara has also beenhigh on the list of the administration blunders, and this has caused great distressamong our English friends and other allies, and we have lost the leadership in it, andthe Russians have been concentrating on this for some time now. This is really amandatory program, if we are going to mainta~u the balance of power. It has to berestored and restored immediately.

However, the major problem facing this country today sterns from the timidity ofmany of our officials, at each juncture. Their skilled public relations experts virtuallytoss in the towel by using the scare word "escalation." In our past dealings with theCommunists, the Communists have backed down, when they have been confronted witha showing of determined str.ength, ~hcl~ as Cuba, L~banon, Iran and Greece.

I say we will not, and we cannot win, with the advice of people directing thepolicy of the United States.

It may be that I may be a bit outspok~ .in my comments. Maybe you will saythat I am wrong in my analysis of the situation as presented here tonight. Well,-maybe,but if I am right, and history is on my side, then you had better decide what you aregoing to tell your grandchildren when’they ask you:

"What did you find that was so much more!precious than freedom and individualliberty? What did you get in return for it?" " ’"~

They are going to want to know.

I~ is imperative that we, as united-Americans,. devote our strength and our time,our individual assets of moral leadership which’ have been exhibited in the past, andin a great grass roots effort, we can.restore that integrify and this nation wil! sorelyneed it today.

PRESIDENT SEAVEY: Next, we are going to have the report of the ProgramCommittee by Chief Bob Ulm.

PROGRAM COMMITTEE CHAIRMAN ROBERT F. ULM: Mr. President, Mem-bers and Associate Members. Your Program Committee, which I had the privilege toChair, and which included Chi.ef James L. Grote of Chester, Connecticut and ChiefWilliam J. Young of Newington, New Hampshire, endeavored to bring to this 1966Conference a group of speakers with diversified topics to increase our knowledge andto assist with problems in the field of fire suppression and prevention.

We sincerely hope that we have accomplished this mission for the good of ourprofession.

For the benefit of future Program Committees, I would like to make two sugges-tions, the first being to include but two speakers on Tuesday morning, in order toadjourn in the neighborhood of eleven o’clock in the morning to allow time for theClam Bake.

The other suggestion is to devote one session of the program for a Workshop witha Panel of speakers. The Committee was very pleased with the Wednesday MorningWorkshop, and a showing of hands of those present indicated the desire to includethis format with a selected topic next year.

I would be remiss ff I did not recognize Chief Bill Yol~ng for his tireless efforts inplanning the Workshop Session and the efficient manner in which he conducted theWorkshop.

This year, I made a hit-and-miss count of our technical sessions. The lowest countwas 178 and the highest was 268. The approximate average of attendance was slightlyover 200, at each meeting.

Your Committee is very pleased with the attendance and the respect affordedour speakers. The thanks of the Association is extended to al! flmse who participatedin our 1966 Conference.

This report is respecgu!ly submitted by the Program Committee consisting ofChief William J. Young, Chief James L. Grote and myself, Chief Robert F. Ulm, asChairman. (Applause)

PRESIDENT SEAVEY: At this time, we come to the report of the ResolutionsCommittee. To this Committee, I appointed one Chairman, but before I was through Ihad three Chairmen. At this time, we are going to hear from Chief Walter Championof Swampscott, Chairman of the Resolutions Commi~ee.

PRESIDENT SEAVEY: Before I go or~ to the next item, I want to take thisopportunity, in the pre~ence of the members of the Association, to thank the team Ihave had to work with this year. Indeed, my conscience would bother me if I returnedhome to my commuulty without expressing my thanks to the team, for no one knowsbetter than I do, that to have a successful conference, or a winning ball game, it isthe team that is behind you that counts.

Therefore, I certainly do want to give recognition to everybody who has assistedme in carrying out the duties as President of this Association. In accordance withthe reports given this year, and in my observation, I am going to say I think it wasthe best. I certainly was very much pleased with the attitude of the members and theactions of the members who attended this convention, for I never saw a group ofpeople who, I thought, enjoyed themselves so much. I know I certainty didn’t haveany complaints. I want to give credit where credit belongs, and although I can’t callupon all of the members who worked with me to put this Conference on, yet I thinkthese fellows can represent them, and I do want to have the Chairman of the Com-mittee rise and if you think we had a good Conference, I’d like to have you give thisChairman of the Committee and the members of the Committee a round of applause.

(The members present rose and there was pro!onged applause, by acclamation.)

PRESIDENT SEAVEY: My thanks to everybody. Further, I want to say that ofcourse, to any President, his right arm is a good Secretary, and in my case it isChief A! Kimball! (Applause)

Now, I want to say that as I stand here, I am not going to say, like most everyPresident has said, that this is the moment I have been waiting for, because I haveconsidered it an honor to be the President of this Association. In a way, it really hurtsme to step down, because I have loved it and I have appreciated being the Presidentof a wonderful group of men. I don’t have to tell you this. Jim Grote has said thisthousands of times, and I learned it many years ago, so that without giving my ageaway, I have had forty-three years of Fire Department service, and I learned aboutforty-three years ago that the greatest group of men who ever walked on two feetwith whom I ever associated were in the fire service.

Therefore, I want to say it ha~ been a pleasure and I thank each and every oneof you for the opportunity te being President of this Association, and I hope we seeeach other for many years to come.

Thank you all very much! (Applause)

This brings us right up to the election of the new President and other officers ofthe Association, and I am ready to accept nominations for the office of President of theNew England Association of l~ire Chiefs, Inc.

CHIEF TOM COLLINS of New Haven: l~r. President, I would like to place innomination the name of James Grote of Chester, Connecticut, for the office of Presidentof this Association.

CHIEF SWEENEY of Hartford: I should deem it a privilege to second the nomi-nation of Jim Grote for the office of President of this Association.

said about enough here, but I feel that I have got to say a few words to a wonderfulgentleman. In what I have to say, here, I am not degrading Jim Grote, and I knowyou understand that.

As we a!! know, due to the legality of the our By-Laws of the New England Associa-tion of Fire Chiefs, our First Vice-President being in the retiring status, cannot be theChief, and therefore he cannot be elected as President ef the Association. Otherwise,as we all know, he would have been a wonderful President. I have tmown Chief Collinsfrom the first time he ran the school in New Haven, when he was the Dri!l Master,and I never met a better gentleman in my life.

I want to tell you a little story of what happened to me, and this was last year.I was so nervous when ~ got elected last year. There was a news release that was putout when I was proposed to become Director; it went out over lhe local radio stations,and this was about 12:30 or 12:45, and in a few minutes the telephone at the officewhere I work began to ring. It was the Chief of Police and he asked: "How long areyou going to be in Newington with this new job you have got, or don’t you have toleave?"

I said: "Oh, no; everything will be done from here. We have a couple of meetingsthroughout New England."

He hung up, a little puzzled, and pretty soon again, I got another telephone call,giving me congratulations and everything, so I said: "That’s flue. Thank you verymuch."

Then, fifteen minutes later, there was another telephone call and this voice said:"How in hell can you get so lucky?"

I said: "What do you mean?"

"We tmderstand you got elected Director of the New England Association."

I said: "That’s right.’" And I said what an honor it was, and also expressedmy appreciation.

Then the voice over the phone said: "You won’t want a raise now; you’re going toget $13,000, aren’t you?"

said: "What?" (Laughter)

PRESIDENT GROTE: If you will bear with me just for a few seconds, youknow I love my Connecticut friends and neighbors, and we have always said that thesubmarine base was at New London, and they never would know where Croton is onthe map. So, my good friend, Carl Sawyer, well, if you want to make a correction tothat effect, it’s all right with me. I still say the submarine base is ia New London.
