Ref: Town and Country Newspaper Pennsburg, Montgomery County, PA Saturday - August 5, 1905 CHEMICAL ENGINE TEST One of the most important features of the firemen's parade and picnic at Red Hill today will be the extreme test of the machine to fight fire. For this purpose a frame building 12x21 feet, 14 feet high, has been erected of very inflammable material. This house will be filled with boxes, oil barrels, wood, paper, etc., and after all is in readiness a barrel of coal oil will be used to saturate the pile. When thus prepared a match will be applied and the fire allowed to gain some headway. The chemical engine will then be put into operation to test it efficacy of the fire fighting machine.
