Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Atherton seeks new fire engine

Atherton - Photos of various types of British fire engines carrying water tanks of from 1000 to 4000 gallons, 35 feet extension ladders, and pumps with a capacity of from 250 to 750 gallons per minute were shown to members of Atherton Fire Brigade Board by the Chief Officer, Mr. C. E. Ball.

The Atherton Board may purchase a new engine this financial year. Mr. Ball said that he favored the engine illustrated with a 400 gallon tank, a Dennis pump of 500 gallons capacity, and which was also fitted with 150 feet of rubber hose to which was attached a three-eighth inch nozzle.

The hose was supplied from the 400 gallon tank, and was intended for use at fires which did not necessitate the use of canvas hose, of which the fire engine could carry more than 1500 feet.

There was cabin accommodation for five men and an officer, and with a full load the engine could accelerate in 40 seconds to 40 miles per hour.

Mr. Ball said that the advantage of the vehicle was that it was designed and built as a fire engine, by a firm which had constructed hundreds, and it would meet the requirements of Atherton for the next 20 to 30 years.
