Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from History of the Kalamazoo Fire Department: Containing Historical Information Carefully Gleaned From All Available Sources and From Fire Department Records
On the introduction of the F ire Alarm Telegraph System Chief Healy was appointed superintendent by the Council, and with his inventive mind and years of study and observation has brought the system to its present high standing. His services are characterized by the city as invaluable and his loss would be recognized as a calamity.
This language is not given as a compliment to Chief Healy, but to let the people know we have some men of unusual ability in the pay of the'city, men who render services beyond the adequate compensation.
