FIRE DEPARTMENT. The fire department of the city is acknowledged to be one of the most modern in the United States. All of its apparatus is of the latest design and is motor-driven except one piece which is kept in the North End, where a motor vehicle might get mired in the mud roads. For this fire department, the city pays $61,385.32 a year. The department of 1916 includes forty-three paid men, including the chief, assistant chief, and captains of the various companies. As the result of its improved department, restrictions with respect to building, and its water supply, Flint has become a second-rate risk insurance city, being one of the few cities in the United States so rated by underwriters. |
