CHARGES MADE AGAINST
FIRE CAPTAIN QUEIROLO.
__
Fire Commission Inquires Into Delay
in Making Hydrant Connections.
__
Captain
Stephen Queirolo of engine company No. 5 was given a hearing by the fire
commission yesterday on the charge of passing a hydrant while on the way
to a fire Wednesday night and connecting with a hydrant a block further
distant from the burning structure losing valuable time. Queirolo
explained he had difficulty in locating a connection but the commission
pointed out that the fire was only three blocks for the fire house and
the sky was illuminated by flames. Queirolo offended similarly
once before. The commission will report its decision next Friday. |
