The address by Fire Chief Borland was the big feature of the lunchson and was listened to with the deepest attention and interest. Timmins fire department, the chief said, was organâ€" ized about 1912, the first lots for this townsite being sold in 1811. Among those connected with the first brigade were Mr. Stevenson, bank manager here, and Jack Mackay. The first equipment consisted of only 250 feet of hose. Nothing of importance, howâ€" ever, happened for some time, except that when the first five lengths of hose were laid on occasion four of them burst. The next step for fire protectâ€" ion was the purchase of a reel. It was kept outside, covered with a tarpaulin. in the The ments year v make will be vue w ber, a The d: on, bu be anl Report was made to the meeting that at a session of the directors last week it was decided to go ahead with the plans for a big community Halâ€" lowe‘en event here for the kiddies on Oct.

Each youngâ€" ster attending would also receive a small bag of candy. The Canadian Legion and other organizations were coâ€"operating to handle the event. In case the weather is too inclement for an outside affair, it is hoped to presâ€" ent a modified form of the programms in the skating rink for the youngsters. The committee in charge of arrangeâ€" ments for the Midnight Revue this year were instructed to go ahead and make the event a humdinger, which held their annual convention in Timâ€" mins last week, were particularly pleased with the excellent arrangeâ€" ments made by the Kiwanis Club for the dance given by the Association.

This year was free from any serious fire. "During the year 1922 we responded to 55 alarms, losses being $66,500.00 covered by insurance of $108,000.00. In this year we won the firemen‘s compeâ€" tition at Schumacher, breaking previâ€" ous records. "There were 77 alarms responded to in 1923. The losses were $17,940.00, with insurance of $157,000.00 to cover.| The most serious loss this year was at the J. R. Gordon building, Pine street,'t occupied by E.

The most serious fire this year was the Marshallâ€"Ecclestone building on Feb. 4th. The department was handicapped by lack of water at this fi»e. "During 1919, there were 28 alarms received, causing losses amounting to $10,120.00, with insurance covering of $25,000.00. The most serious fire durâ€" ing the year was on Dec. 2nd at Third avenue in the buildings owned by Jos. Theriault, P. McCormick and J. R: Gordon.

The losses were $6,135.00, with covering insurance of $243,500.00. This year there was quite a controverâ€" sy on the purchase of motor apparatus. The people voted on a byâ€"law to purâ€" chase a motor fire truck and the byâ€" law was defeated. The hall was then reâ€"madelled and a secondâ€"hand horseâ€" drawn wagon and a horseâ€"drawn ladâ€" der truck were purchased. s ‘"During 1918 there were 39 alarms received, causing losses of $15,800.00, covered by insuranceâ€"of $32,000.00.

The brigade that year won the championship of the Temiskaming Fireman‘s Association at the annual tournament, held that year at Cobalt. "‘After this fire the town undertook to organize a more modern fire deâ€" partment. That fall they called for applications for a fullâ€"time chief," continued the fire chief. "I was chosâ€" en from a large number of applicants. I came to Timmins in November and met the council, Dr. J. A. McInnis beâ€" ing chairman of the fire and light committee, but after looking over the equipment and conditions that I would have to work under, I declined to acâ€" cept the position. Chief Dey, of Colâ€" lingwood, was induced to accept the position and took charge on Dec. 1st, but only stayed three weeks, returning then to Collingwood. Art King then took charge. The town built a fire hall and purchased a horseâ€"drawn wagon and a couple of ladders in 1916. On March ist, 1917, I returned and took charge of the department. There were three paid men and twenty volâ€" unteers that year. Through the enerâ€" gy of Dr. McInnis a modern fire alarm system was installed, composed of 12 alarm boxes, ower striker, indicator and gong, and six tappers for volunâ€" teers‘ houses. "In 1925 the department responded to 108 alarms. The losses were 376.00, and the covering insurance $259,000.00. Our first piece of motor‘ apparatus was put in service on July: ist., 1925, it being a National chassis. Although it is a lot better than the ‘ horses I think it was a mistake to buy it.

The first fire of any importance here was at the Ottawa House, when a girl of about nine years of age lost her life. The engine did.good work in stopping that fire.

He ordered the body brought to Iroâ€" quois Falls and an inquest will be held Friday at Iroquois Falls. A post morâ€" tem examination of the body was made by Dr. Young, of Iroquois Falls. "The accident happened on what is called »the Wilson" Lake road three miles from Porquis Junction. Seaton with his son Ross and a man named Jim Singh and another boy, Alex Woodrow, were loading pulpwood at Brown‘s Siding.

On his way to the Junction to notify the police, he met Magistrate Tucker, of Cochrane, who was on his way home after having held court at Iroquois Falls. As Magistrate Tucker is also a coroner he went to the scene of the accident and found that Seaton was dead. "Although there were no witnesses to the accident Seaton, a farmer residâ€" ing in McCart township and the father of eight children, the eldest of whom is 22 years of age, was killed Friday afternoon about five o‘clock when the team of horses he was driving evidentâ€" ly ran away, throwing him to the ground, the wheels of the wagon passâ€" ing over his head inflicting injuries that were fatal. The sad death of Mr. Frank Sedton, a farmer residing in McCart townâ€" ship, was recounted in a despatch last week from Iroquois Falls The acciâ€" dent occurred about three miles from Porquis Junction and so far as can be learned the fatality was one of the vresults following the running away of a team driven by Mr. Seaton. A parâ€" ticularly sad feature of the tragedy is the fact that the late Mr. Seaton was the father of eight children. ~The particulars of the accident are given in the following despatch last week from Iroquois Falls:â€" France Fire Engine Co., who have been building fireâ€"apparatus exclusively for seventyâ€"five years.
