✨ Fire Brigade By-law and Public Trust Office Notices



Jan. 16.] THE NEW ZEALAND GAZETTE. 105

Performance of particular service at fires must be reported immediately.

When working at a fire, any officer or fireman instructed by the Superintendent or officer in charge to perform any particular service must, at the earliest moment report that he has executed the same, or why he has failed.

Drill calls to be varied as regards time.

In the practice of turning out the reels and engines for drill, an officer should vary the time of call as much as possible, so that it may be unexpected by the men, and thus prove a true test of their readiness and general efficiency.

Excessive routine to be avoided.

Officers must use discretion, so as to avoid excessive routine and consequent worrying of the men.

Promptness at the beginning of a fire all-important.

Officers must remember that at the commencement of a fire avoidance of loss of time is all-important, and that quickness and judgment are therefore the qualities most required of them. Enormous loss of property may result from too much attention to detail at such a moment.

No unnecessary lengths of hose to be run out at the beginning of a fire.

In the first stages of a fire only sufficient hose to reach the fire should be run off, so that no time may be lost by passing the water through unnecessary lengths of hose, and in unnecessary handling.

Doors and windows of a burning building to be kept closed until the fire is attacked.

Special care must be taken at all times to keep the doors or windows of a burning building closed until every preparation has been made for attacking the fire. Neglect of this precaution gives the flames a chance to spread, with the result that a fire which might have been extinguished with one jet of water may attain a strength beyond the power of all the appliances of the brigade to subdue.

  1. WATCHING.

The Superintendent shall, wherever he deems it necessary, engage any member of the Brigade or other person to watch the premises where a fire has occurred until such time as he shall be relieved, at a wage of not more than 2s. per hour. The expenses to be paid by the owner of the property.

  1. BUGLE AND WHISTLE CALLS.

The hydrants will be distinguished by numbers—viz., 1, 2, 3, and so on. One long call denotes that the call which will follow is for No. 1 hydrant.

Two long calls denote that the call which will follow is for No. 2 hydrant.

When either of the above calls is given, it is a caution to the hydrant man that the calls which follow are for him only.

One short call for turning on No. 1 delivery and two short calls for No. 2 delivery. Same calls for turning off water. One long continuous call to muster. Four calls to pack up gear. Going to or returning from a fire or practice, one to go on, two to halt.

By order of the Opotiki Fire Board—

H. CLAY, Chairman.

C. H. FLEMING, Secretary.

Opotiki, 1st April, 1929.

The foregoing by-law is hereby approved, this 27th day of December, 1929.

JOHN G. COBBE,

For Minister of Internal Affairs.
