Training new firemen to begin REVIEWING THE RECOMMENDATIONS of the fire department survey, Chief DiLullo said that a number of procedures suggested are already in the works. He said the need for a direct telephone line between the outside houses and the dispatcher is being investigated by the city administration, as is a telephone recording unit to record all incoming calls to the dispatcher. DiLullo also explained that the department will be placing greater emphasis on the men inspecting large buildings so they will have an idea of what may be involved in a fire. Pre-planning for fires at major buildings will also be emphasised Regarding the recommendation of the blitz attack method of fire fighting, DiLullo said the city uses a similar method at large fires. The blitz attack method involves using a large volume of water to quickly contain a fire.

With minor fires, he said the department attempts to use nnly Ihe water needed to extinguish the fi.ro to minimize water damage. DiLullo said the suggestion of two stations is not feasible at present because of the expected closing of W. Washington Street Bridge and the possible delays ol fire equipment at railroad crossings. He noted that the blitz attack procedure will be investigated through visits to departments using this technique. The station house closings are something that is oot in the present plans DiLullo noted.

DiLullo sairl the recommendation for written mutual aid agreements with the other departments in the county is being investigated. At present. DiLullo said, the verbal agreements with surrounding departments are kept. The written agreements could solve any problem dealing with which department would be responsible for firemen injured or equipment Following the two-week period each of the new men will be assigned to work with a veteran of the department to receive additional training. Fire Chief Reynold DiLullo remarked, "A firemen Is made by what he learns from fellow fire fighters and through his experience as well as the theory knows." DiLullo said the new man working with one that is experienced is very beneficial.

The new men will be sent to the Lewistown Fire School next year for advanced training. Training firemen on city streets is far from an ideal situation. As one of the recommendations of the fire survey points out. a tower for training and conducting drills is needed. The tower as specified in the survey should be at least three stories high with a sloping roof, a number of floors, interior stairs, simulated window openings in one wall and a dry standpipe.

Paving of the area adjacent to a couple of the sides of the building is recommended, as is a fire hydrant nearby and flammable liquid pits if possible. DiLullo and Brown remarked they are hopeful a drill lower can be constructed, possibly next year. They added that, the facility could also be used by other deportments in the county. 'ilie new men are considered probational during their first three months of training. If the new men do not appear to be capable in Hie position, the city has the alternative tD release them from service.

Fire Chief DiLullo remarked that the eight men makes the force the biggest in the city's history. Four of the new men will fill vacancies created by retirements within the department. The other four were added at the suggestion of both the city and in the fire survey. By BILL KIRKER Newt Staff Writer A basic training course in the fundamentals of fire fighting will begin next Monday for the eight new firemen hired by the dry last week. The two-week course will present both theory and practical training needed by the new men before they are permitted tu begin answering ire alarms.

The eight named to the force are Warren (Keith) Scritchfield, James Shattic, Ronald Pelusu, James Cartwright, James Antonio, John McCormick, Arthur Johnson and Herbert Saxton- Tu accomplish this the city Fire Department has Adopted the training series developed by the University or Oklahoma as the official training manual of the department.

Fire streams, fire apparatus and ventilation are also included in the series. Practical work with the city's equipment, including the ladder truck and snorkel platform, will also be included.
