Is it hot when they get in? Brother, you are "hot" on a summer's day when the thermometer is in the 90s, but do you know that temperatures sometimes beyond 1000 degrees Fahrenheit are generated by masses of burning materials in confined spaces? EXTINGUISH this briefly, means the careful overhauling of all burned parts of the structure and contents to make certain fire is completely "out". Here again, walls and voids in the fire infected area must be opened up to make certain no hidden sparks remain to start a new fire. In carrying out those searches firemen are again criticized for doing "unnecessary" damage. However, unless such work is done, they are more likely to be called back, hours later, due to a "rekindle" started by an ember or spark they left unnoticed on the first trip. We hope that no one will ever lose their life at a fire because spmeone in authority 'failed to call fireman PROMPTLY. ARE FIREMEN NEEDLESSLY DESTRUCTIVE? ' J All ' ( t ' 7 "Firemen do more damage than the fire itself," is a statement some people still offer as their reason for not wanting to call the fire department when necessity arises. The accusation probably had some element of truth in it in the old days of the Volunteers when a helmet, a red shirt and a shiny badge the size of a pie plate constituted the ONLY equipment (mental or otherwise) necessary to become a fireman. Every fire was gleefully welcomed as an opportunity to display one's prowess in swinging an axe or shooting Niagara through a nozzle. Those days have gone. Gone, too, the days when the principal qualification of a good inn keeper was that of being a combination cook and bartender. Why do firemen break windows? Why punch holesin walls and ceilings ? Why, wherTa room or rooms I are fully involved in fire do they go to the next floor, and remove surbases or open up pipe enclosures? Why do they pull burnt mattresses apart? Why? Why? ' f ! aB I Why?

When the bell or siren calls him and his comrades to a fire the sec ond phase of his career is brought into play: the saving of life and property. Do the officers directing him follow any definite formula? They do, for fire fighting today is a profession. Four objectives are sought: 1. Save life. 2. Confine fire to point where found. 3. Control it. 4. Extinguish. In the application of those principals we find a close analogy to the procedure followed by a doctor or surgeon. It is his prime objective to save life." When seeking to do that he "confines" the ailment or infection by examining or body probing areas of the humanconnecaway from, but having a tion in some manner with the affected portion. He then either immunizes, or cuts, in order to prevent SPREAD to those parts. Next, he concentrates on the infection itself in order to CONTROL its activity. Following that he applies treatment to heal or EXTINGUISH the outbreak, i.e., make certain all danger is removed. Thus, as in handling a fire, he 1. Saves life. 2. Confines the spread. 3.

Locating it on arrival the chief must CONFINE it, first mak ing certain to cause the removal en-of all human or other life dangered, often at great personal risk. Then he surrounds the enemy to prevent his escape and is ready to apply the second principle: Control the fire itself.
