| New Fire Station At Clarendon Hill To Be Occupied By Hose 6 |
| For convenience, the new fire company, which is to have its headquarters in the handsome new fire station at the corner of Holland and Newbury streets, Clarendon Hill, will be known as "Hose 6." The station will be occupied for the first time next Thursday by the apparatus and permanent men. The apparatus will consist of a renovated chemical and hose wagon which was formerly stationed at the house of Engine 4 on Highland ave. The wagon has been remodeled at an expense of $300.00. The company will go into commission at 12.01 o'clock Sunday morning, October 1. It will answer first alarms from the following boxes: 38, 4, 41, 45, 47, 48, 49, 337, 424, 425, 427, 428, 441, 442, 443, 445, 446, 447, and 448. The company will go to the house of Engine 4 on alarms from boxes, 37, 421, 422, 423, 426, 46, 42, and 43. On a second alarm from any other box the company will go to the house of Ladder 2, where it will be available to answer any other box while the other portion of the department is in service. By these arrangements at no time will West Somerville be left without fire protection. The new company is made up of the following men: Captain Joseph A. Cribby, Lieutenant Wilfred Young, driver George W. Bridges, relief driver George R. Dale, hosemen Walter M. Brown, William E. Drowne, and Frank M. Ott. |
