A new Motor Fire Engine, complete with a 50 ft. 50 ft. fire escape, was ordered during the year and will be supplied early in 1937.
6. All of the thirty-six vehicles now maintained by the Fire Brigade were regularly inspected during the year; twenty-two of the vehicles were completely overhauled and repainted.
The fire floats were also satisfactorily overhauled during the year.
All other appliances and equipment were examined and tested every month.
With a view to economy the old No. 3 Fire Float was laid up on the 31st August, with a skeleton crew of 1 Engineer and 1 Seaman to supervise and maintain the craft. This allowed for a reduction of staff by which, for the remainder of the year, the Floating staff of the Brigade consisted of:-
5 Coxswains, 9 Engineers, 6 Stokers and 15 Seamen.
