Prevention Weei
Hasn ’t Hindered
Fire Department
The A&M Volunteer Fire De
partment fittingly will have one
of its regular two-hour practice
drills during Fire Prevention
Week, which began Sunday. Col
lege employees who hold full-time
jobs in a variety of crafts and
skills form the department mem
bership.
The department provides, by
agreement, fire protection for the
City of College Station as well as
the campus. There is also a mu
tual agreement with the City of
Bryan to provide assistance in the
case of a major fire in downtown
Bryan.
A&M department members must
be prepared to fight an exceeding
ly wide range of fires. Chief Gil
bert B. Eimann said they face the
possibilities of fires in laboratories
and at the college airport, Easter-
wood Field, in addition to the usual
types of fires fought by volunteer
departments.
There are approximately 600
buildings of all types on campus,
including the agricultural areas.
AN INTENSIFIED program of
fire prevention measures has been
undertaken by Walter H. Parsons
Jr., superintendent of college util
ities and buildings, and Eimann.
In the planning stagp is the es
tablishment of fire zones through
out the campus with a responsible
person in each area to inspect
“his buildings” each month for fire
hazards.
Presently in the compilation
stage is a study made of fire ex
tinguisher types, locations and
such in all buildings on. campus.
An extremely dry summer and
resulting grass fires have boosted
the total number of calls, includ
ing false alarms, answered thus
far this year to .71. Eimann said
60 of these calls were made to
City of College Station and area
locations and 11 were made on
campus. Sixty-three alarms were
sounded in 1961.
EIMANN, WHO became chief
last April 1, also serves the col
lege as fire marshal. A veteran
of almost nine years in the depart
ment, he is one of two department
employees. The other is Dauglas
Landua, who works at the station.
Assistant Chief John T. Smith
is the senior member of the vol
unteer department in terms of
service. He joined in June, 1932.
Other volunteers have served for
periods ranging from about a
year to’ 25 years.
A&M students originally manned
the fire equipment, but earlj
the 1930s college employees
sumed the responsibility, ii
ally all volunteers are memkea

Smith, for example, is fort
of the paint shop. Many of
firemen live in the college hois
area north and west of their
Market Road 60 traffic circle.
“WE’VE ALWAYS averagd
to 30 members,” Eimann sail
One rainy Sunday afternoon;
year the fire alarm sounded 1
sons happened to be nearby a;
time.
“Within less than three mis
the first three units were at
fire scene,” Parsons reportal
The department has threepi!
ers, a booster and a service e
which laymen would call a la
truck. There also is a sta
wagon. All except the sH
wagon belong to the Texas
men’s Training School. Thera
merit fills the fire station
erected on Ireland Street bill
The earlier fire station was
brick building across from W
change Store.
The A&M volunteers, lib
firemen, quickly agree that I
would rather have fires preia
than to fight them. The os
sight of an office, classrooo
home ruined by' fire is not si
ant, they reminded.
