Fire Department Use All By New With the entry this week in the new headquarters building Broadway, the Anaheim Fire department finally achieves the nature that is commensurate with the responsibilities which multiplied themselves through the years. And the attainment of the nature of capabilities the department may now boast has been accomplished largely within a span of active leadership for the department provided by Chief Stringer. In 1950, about a month after Chief Stringer took office as first full time chief, the Board Fire Underwriters evaluated departments capabilities in following report: Sad Story "Anaheim Fire Department organized on the basis of a conation paid and volunteer dept ment; supervision is under Chief but no paid men have appointed as company office rules and regulations are fair only general in scope; station cilities are deficient as to dormitory space; records in gen are poor, there are no record building inspection, hydrant or hose tests; old fire records poor and incomplete; there is fire prevention bureau, ins tions are made irregularly by Fire Chief." Not too encouraging for a CHIEF ED STRINGER ... Proud of New Department MORE MILES OF WIRES THAN DEPARTMENT USED TO TRAVEL — Chief Stringer hopes the myriad miles of intricate circuits are going to be quickly sorted out by the telephone crews bringing in the new station to be in full control of all the city's fire responsibilities.

Too encouraging for a new hand-operated ladders. First Truck 1915 These trucks are a far cry from the first motorized truck which was purchased in 1915. Up until this time the volunteer department was fighting fires with hand and horse - drawn apparatus. Twenty men donated their efforts to the volunteer department of those days. The department had its headquarters in the city hall until 1950 when it moved to the station at 100 East Broadway. It was in October of this year that Stringer became Chief. Departmental conditions may perhaps best be recalled by relating that the Chief was known as the "Hitchhiking Chief" due to the fact that he was not provided a vehicle by which to reach fire scenes. He would attempt to hitch rides on police cars or drive his own private vehicle. This problem was adjusted in 1951 with the purchase of a chief's car. In 1959 the departmental training program was intensified, with the appointment of the first drill-master. Company drilling was begun in that year and academy training has since been stressed. Ranks Advance This program is highly touted by Chief Stringer and the city administration as the best means of preparing Anaheim firemen for promotions within their own from the exigencies of volunteer days and the construction of inadequate quarters may be identified with occupancy in the expanded facility. In particular, Chief Stringer has emphasized the following as direct benefits stemming from the new headquarters building: and pick-up trucks. 2. Increased living and area for personnel, enable Department to fully equip, whereas in this was not possible due toied facilities. 3. A more modern, c and unupdate alarm system.

In 1959 the departmental training program was intensified, with the appointment of the first drillmaster. Company drilling was begun in that year and academy training has since been stressed. Ranks Advance This program is highly touted by Chief Stringer and the city administration as the best means of preparing Anaheim firemen for promotions within their own ranks as vacancies may occur or further expansion takes place. The new Headquarters building marks an important milestone in well over 100 years of history for the department. The transition from the exigencies of volunteer days and the construction of inadequate quarters may be identified with occupancy in the expanded facility. In particular, Chief Stringer has emphasized the following as direct benefits stemming from the new headquarters building: 1. Increased area; enabling the housing of three 1000 gallon per minute triple combination pumps, one 100 foot aerial ladder truck, one Salvage and Rescue panel truck, and several fire cars.
