"Not many players can point to a showing like that."
The efficiency of the Moscow volunteer fire department was demonstrated last Thursday at the D.C. Building on First Street. The fire department, under the leadership of Chief Carl Smith, made the seven blocks to the fire and had a stream of water playing on the flames exactly four minutes from the time when the first tap of the fire bell was heard. Many good runs have been made by the Moscow volunteer fire fighters, but so far as is known, the time of last Thursday set a new record.

The efficient work of the fire department, coupled with equipment unequaled in any town in the size of Moscow in the west, materially reduces Moscow's fire hazard.
