1.

(a.) The Foremen and Pioneers will at

once proceed to the Fire and prepare

for the arrival of the Engines; they

raust carefully examine the premises

on Fire and the surrounding buildings

and obtain all possible information as to the water supply, with the view to the most effective working of the Fire Engines. They should use every means in their power to exclude all avoidable currents of air from the Fire, and ascertain whether there are any com- munications with the adjoining houses by the roof, gable, or otherwise.

(6.) The Engine Drivers of Steam Engines

will immediately light fires in the En- gines, and all Men.bers of the Brigade

stationed on the Central District will

hasten to the Central Fire Brigade Sta-

tion to assist in taking the Engines to

the Fire; but those men who are in

charge of Hose Reels, Coal Carts, Lad-

ders, Supply Carts, &c., must on no ac-

count neglect those duties which they

have been specially appointed to perform.

*This is to be considered discretionary when the Fire is known to be at a considerable distance from the Slution.
