Zh* Patrolman' s Equipment. 



NOT? as the firo season is close at baud and f Ira 

 protection work will bo our moat important duty in tha near 



- . I v.-ould like to suggest what I think the necessary 

 j-VLicnt a model patrolman should carry each day while on 

 fire patrol. 



I base my idea on where a patrolman rices each 

 day from his camp tr headtfi&xtiers and not where one la 

 rsr.dering throughout the district camping rrhere night over- 

 takes him. 



The first of importance is a good horse and rig 

 complete. Including yacdle bags. The tools he should 

 carry are a light short-handled shovel and a $# single 

 lit ax with a thirty-inch handle. These should be oarried 

 b7 tying to the pommel of the saddle v,ith the handles point- 

 ing becX between the stirrup leathers, ax on one side and 

 sh.ovel <^n the other. Ee should also carry either a canteen 

 cr a sater-bag. I prefer the South African 2-fc gallon 

 water-bag fcr this work. He should hcve a gcod field glass 

 ard a good revolver strapped over his shoulder*. In add- 

 ition to this he should carry in his haversack or saddle 

 bags, a note-book and pencil, a copy each cf the State Fire 

 Liffs and Trea^ans Manual, a package of the first aid to 

 the wounded, pocket compass, a clean pair cf socks, and 

 enough grub already prepared, for at least two lunches.
