City Purchases New Fire Truck
The city of Cullman completed the deal for a new modern fire truck. After severe tests which proved the truck satisfactory last Monday the deal was closed. The new truck cost the city $6,250.00.
The truck is of the most modern type, with a power driven pump, capacity of which is 600 gallons per minute. The pump will throw a stream of water 50 to 60 feet high with a pressure of about 250 pounds. The truck is equipped with flood lights, pump, ladders and all other necessary items of fire fighting equipment and has a capacity of 1200 feet of hose.
A demonstration of the truck’s water throwing capacity was given to the public Monday afternoon in front of the downtown police station at 5 o’clock.
The old truck will be retained by the city for carrying the hose unit, it also having a capacity of 1200 feet of hose.
A new building is being completed near the power as a fire station where the trucks will be kept.
The members of Cullman’s fire department are: Eugene Clark, chief, Louis Hauk, assistant chief; Pete Geisen, captain; Irvin Fischer, Oscar Fischer, Lavert Freeman, Alf Hinds, Max Buettner, Carl Buettner, Emil Buettner, William Buettner, John Veigl, Bruce Pylant, Cal Leeth, Howard Edwards, B.
