General and Fire Inspection Work.

Particular attention must be drawn to the Fire Inspection work which is rapidly increasing with the construction of a large num- ber of premises exceeding five stories in height. This work fall within the special province of the Superintendent himself, whose work in this branch of the fire service is preving most valuable and efficient, Practically every New Fire Float.

A re-, grettable delay in starting work on the superstructure followed and the actual contract for com- picting the building was not let until September last, However the new contractors Messray Trol lope and Colls have got to work with commendable energy and it is anticipated that the structure should be near completion by the end of 1925.

The activities of the Brigade are dealt with in greater detail in the Brigade Superintendent's report, from which we take the following extracts.

"Number of Calls.

The Brigade, received 148 calls to fires, or supposed, fires, tho number for the year 1923 being 170. The number of fires, exclud- ing chimney fires, attended by the Brigade was 91 of which seven were serious fires.
