(6) Equipment 



While considerable additions had been made to the stock of fire-fighting 

 equipment in previous years the supply was still insufficient to meet the demands 

 of 1931 and further purchases were necessary. The bulk of the equipment 

 purchased during the actual fire season was not assigned to any particular 

 district but will be kept at central points available for any district in which 

 abnormal conditions may develop. 



(7) Locomotive Inspection 



Two men were employed between April 1st and September 30th solely on 

 the inspection of fire-protective appliances on railway locomotives and engines 

 of all descriptions operating within the Fire Districts. 



A total of 2,562 inspections were made covering 1,085 different locomotives 

 and engines.
