Department

Photographer
Unknown
Date created
circa 1942-1945
Description
Fire
and
safety
were
two
major
concerns
at
Amache
. The
barrack
rooms
were
heated
with
coal
, a
product
unfamiliar
to the
California
evacuees
, so
fire
was always a
concern
.
Inadequate
wiring
was also a
concern
as
evacuees
who tried to use
irons
and other
electrical
appliances
in their
rooms
would cause
overloaded
circuits
to
blow
a
fuse
and sometimes
create
fires
. The
fire
department
at
Amache
consisted
of a
WRA
fire
chief
, an
evacuee
fire
chief
,
three
assistant
chiefs
,
six
captains
and
three
groups
of
ten
firemen
each
working
the
eight
hours
providing
twenty
four
hour
fire
protection
in the
camp
.
