Description: |
This is a digitized recording of a dictabelt, which the Indianapolis Fire Department used to record dispatch calls during the 1960s and 1970s. Following are the calls on this dictabelt:1. Man calls to report serious fire hazard near his home, at 522 East Michigan next to his home is a major accumulation of paper and garbage on a neighbors porch. 2. Dispatcher calls fireman on duty about previous call. Has discussion about how to handle situation. Apparently this has occurred previously and it was a set up to claim harassment by the fire department. It is decided to examine the property after dark, and involve city board of health and possibly the police force. 3. Large trash fire reported at 248 South Temple block. 4. Fire reported at South river hog pens, 100 South White River Parkway box 482. 5. Fire reported at G & G Warehouse 500 West Ray, box 512. 6.
