Property owners displayed fire markers outside the building to in dicate that they were insured\; in some cases\, no marker meant no effort would be made to fight the fire. In other cases\, only the first arriving companies got paid\, which led to fierce competition. Volunteers sabotaged each other's equipment and fought off later-arriving companies\, often us ing fire-fighting equipment as weapons. Often\, the building burned down w hile the firemen brawled.\nFire Department Orgination.\nEarly in 1853 the Cincinnati\, Ohio\, Fire Department Committee formulated a plan that would entirely change the way fires were fought in America. To end the frequent ly violent competition between companies\, the plan called for full-time\, paid city employees to fight fires using a horse-drawn steam engine. The steam pumper would allow four or five men to spray more water on a fire th an hundreds of volunteers using hand pumpers. The City Council on 16 March 1853 authorized the plan and the creation of a Fire Department\, effectiv e 1 April.\n\n LOCATION: END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
