Chicago fireboats and a new river fighting system
Chicago builds two 120 foot fireboats with 36 foot beams and revolutionary water gun batteries. The mains deliver 4 500 gallons per minute per pump, with a two inch nozzle reaching 600 feet and a larger three and a half inch nozzle reaching nearly twice that distance. The system includes sixteen hose connections and can divert streams to fight fires from multiple riverfront points. Also noted is a magnetic phonograph and a phonograph answering calls when the caller is away, repeating messages automatically.
