' Dowell has had his scheme of com prehensive ..Indoor training In mind for aome" time, believing it an effective means of training firefighters for the hazardous tasks that they are called upon to perform during the course of their duty. Although definite plans have not been announced, it is quite probable that the school will be located on the upper floors of one of the many fire stations. Provision will be made in the new fire station that will soon be erected at Fourth and Taylor streets for carry ing on Just such training work. A spe cial instructor will direct the exercises and training stunts. Purchase of the fire prevention film from the Minnesota fire board, depicting actual training classes and methods used in Instruction, is one of -the steps that will be taken by the department to further their work of fire prevention. Commissioner Bigelow and Chief Dowell and several members of the fire depart ment witnessed the film last Monday afternoon at The Auditorium and were favorably impressed with the film as a means of instructing new men in the department. An instruction board, showing various knots used In fire fighting work, meth ods of resuscitation, fire hazards and dangers has been prepared by Chief Dowell as a further means of aiding his men in combating biases. Members of the fire department be lieve their chief will in time step into the place occupied by the late Joseph Buchtel, former chief of the fire depart ment, who made a name for himself as an Inventor of nozzles, hand fire ex tinguishers and other fire fighting ap paratus. Chief Dowell is at present working on plans with Chief Graham, of the Corvallls fire department, for a neasle which will be patented within a short time.
