Port Townsend, Washington
Hon. Mayor and City Cdunoil, May 70 1929
City of Port Townsend, Washington
Gentlemen'
I take this means of conveying to you certain deficiencies in the apparatus now owned
and operated by the Volunteer Fire Department.
Recent fires of the -past two weeks have demonstrated the dire necessity of the re-
placement of the old and obsolete fire apparatus of the City with new, modern and standard fire
equipment.
The fire in the Hopper home on April 21 demonstrated the inadequacy of our equipment.
At that fire the water pressure was practically nil, and the premises of Mr. Hopper were saved
through more good fortune than through the working ability of our fire.equipment.
'It•iWthe,,re'domniendationr.andaeque'st.'of the:afire: deffab'tmehtithat �tbis*matter of the
acquisition of new equipment be referred to the Fire Committee of the City Council and a Committee
be appointed by the undersigned from the Department; that some constructive Plana be worked out
that will remedy this situation.
I have received a report from the Inspector of the United States Fire Underwriters
Association which explains in detail the general situation as exists in the City of Port Townsend.
I am informed that a copy of this report is on file in the office of -the City Engineer.
