Members of number 1 fire company firmly believe this following the outfits act in colliding with a perfectly husky bull while running to a fire. Members of the company didn't investigate the extent of the animals injuries for the simple reason that Mr. Bull, enraged at the fiery red that adorns the fire fighting apparatus, plunged toward the truck. Assistant Fire Chief, Jack Hart, riding on the rear of the truck, didn't hesitate to order Leo Billings, driver, to make it snappy. Billings obeyed. After following the truck for 100 feet, the bull dipped sand with his tail and went through the usual bullish antics. The fireman avoided the bull lane on the return trip to the station.
