The Highland Park fire departâ€" ment, under the leadership of veterâ€" an Chief E, C. Hoskins, keeps a wonstant 24â€"hour vigil. Besides lending a moral stability to the residents of this city, our Fourteen men are on the force, which includes Highland Park and Ravinia. There are seven men staâ€" tioned at headquarters each 24â€" hour shift, but when not on duty, firemen are subject to call at any time. If they leave the city, the staâ€" tion must be promptly notified According to second assistant chief, W. J. Hennig, a veteran of 18 years service, the men arise at 6:30 a.m. and following breakfast are assigned definite tasks to accomplish besides the regular work for the day. Men usually retire about 10:30 p.m. in the dormitory above the staâ€" On Monday, Wednesday and Satâ€" urday, the men clean the downstairs and maintain the trucks. Tuesday‘s schedule includes the general cleanâ€" ing of the ‘dormitory while Thursâ€" day is the day for window washing and grass cutting. Bed linen and more cleaning of the dormitory is enacted on Friday. Sunday is the day of rest , . . with no work schedâ€" uled . . . except maybe a few fires. Meals are cooked by the firemen in ‘a spotless kitchen situated adjaâ€" cent to the garage. Purchasing their own food, the men estimate that it costs them around four or five dollars weekly. Firemen Joseph Boylan and John Patten are t.hel chefs for the two shifts. Men on the force say Patten and Boylan have become masters of the culinâ€" ary art. * ‘ All fire calls are received via teleâ€" phone because Highland Park lacks an alarm box system, which is pracâ€" ticed by Chicago and many other cities. Highland Park‘s fire headâ€" quarters answers calls from the Cook County line to the south limâ€" its of Lake Forest, while the Raâ€" vinia station answers calls reaching from County Line rd. to Beach st. east of the tracks and to Lincoln avenue on the west side of the railâ€" Fire Facts The department inspects business building and schools twice annually. Speeding to a fire, the engines have the rightâ€"ofâ€"way, while returning firemen abide by all traffic rules. Explaining some of the technicaliâ€" ties of the station, Assistant Chief Hennig pointed out that Highland Park possesses two fire engines and a city service. truck . . . better known to us as the "hook and ladâ€" der." The "ladder" carries tools for forceable entry, cleanâ€"up equipment, canvas for salvage work, 450 ft, of hose and 12 ladders totaling 260 ft. in length. ‘"More damage is rendered by water in most fires than by the fire itself," Hennig commented. "Conâ€" sequently we have three sizes of hose. One inch hose is used for small fires mainly because the amount of water issued is slight, but possesses a great amount of praZ- sure. This water is pumped f[glj a 100â€"gallon tank of water stofed in truck No. 3," he said. Othgr hose sizes are 1‘4 in. and 2% in., each giving more water and thus being utilized in larger fires. Equipment on the No. 3 truck includes an inhalator, first aid kit, life net and carbon dioxide gas. This was is used in electrical and oil fires.: ‘"Carbon dioxide gas is used because it is one of the few extinâ€" guishing elements that is safeâ€"on electrical and oil fires," Hennig reâ€" lated. "It is a nonâ€"conductor of electricity and simultaneously cools the burning object beyond the point of combustion," he concluded.

Definitions of fire department "lingo" are in order. A "still" alarm is an alarm brought to the station by a citizen or over the house phone.

Sleeping in their shirts, the firemen are dressed in a jiffy. Coats are always on the engines. ‘The present station is 48 years old. "Old timers" such as assistant chief W. J. Cummings with a 25 year service record, maintain that nearly 20 years ago the department had an average of about 60 calls, while currently they experience around 300 calls annually. Some of the more disastrous fires recalled by the men include the famous toy factory blaze behind the telephone exchange on St. Johns ave. about 16 years ago. Telephone servâ€" ice was partially disrupted and the factory was completely annihilated by the flames. Damage was estiâ€" mated at $25,000. In 1930 the Grifâ€" fith building located across the street from the Alcyon theater, partially burned. Damage amounted to over $30,000. Last winter the Hawthorn dairy garage was partly consumed by flames with the loss nearing the $40,000 mark. Chief Hoskins invites persons in Highland Park to visit the station at any time. s S Optimistically looking ahead, the department anticipates moving into the new station, which is to be loâ€" cated on Greenbay rd. in front of the water tower.
