Werner said that inspection of the brakes on DeGruy's car showed they were "in very bad shape and there were no brake bands at all, although a brake tag had ben issued recently for the machine. Police said Pumper No. 10 of the city fire department was responding to the riverfront fire at 5 a.m. when the fire apparatus, which was in charge of Chauffeur Albert Frere, 40, of 2605 Frenchmen street collided with DeGruy's car.
