Henry D. Smith, chief instruc
tor for the Engineering Exten
sion Service program, said three
pumpers will be completely re
built and two will get minor re
pairs from an 80-man pump
maintenance class.
The course is one of 17 of
fered during the one-week mu
nicipal school.
Heading the maintenance class
will be Asst. Chief L. B. Bailey
of Baytown and Master Mechanic
R. H. Brewer of the Lubbock
Fire Department. They will be
assisted by 10 master mechanics
from large departments through
out the state and nine manufac
turing representatives, Chief
Smith noted.
Missouri City will have a 500-
gallon per minute pumper re
built. Edinburg will send a 1,000-
gallon truck and Gary a 750
Seagraves pumper, both for a
complete overhaul.
Work on the Baytown pumper
will include reworking the pump
controls and accessories. The
Caldwell 500 gallon pumper was
overhauled at the school six years
ago, with minor repairs sched
uled this summer.
%
Smith explained all repair
parts and materials are pur
chased by the city owning the
truck. Labor is furnished by the
class students, instructors and
manufacturing representatives.
In addition, the students will
be working with approximately
$12,000 worth of new pumps do
nated by manufacturers as a
teaching aid.
Purpose of the class is to give
community firemen training to
do preventive maintenance them
selves, thus saving high labor
costs, Smith said.
“Texas cities spend millions of
dollars each year for new equip
ment and for repair of old equip
ment. We’ll show the men how
to do proper preventive main
tenance,” the fire chief added.
An estimated 3,500 firemen are
expected to attend one of three
one-week annual courses offered
July 16 through Aug. 4. The mu
nicipal school is followed by an
industrial fire-fighting school

and the final session is for g,,
