"I think the numbers are down from last year ­ but in saying that, the number will probably sky rocket next month, • Ensign j okingly said. 1\lvo Charleston fire stations, located on each side of Lincoln Avenue, are needed so fire aid can be sent to the industrial north part of town and the southern college part in a time that meets govern­ ment regulations. Both locations, however, respond to a fire alarm on campus. "I'd hope that the students are brought up to know what's right and wrong - but apparently that's not happening," Ensign said. "Freshmen get smarter and turn to sophomores, but then we get more freshmen." The north fire station, No. 1, has four firemen on duty and the south No. 2 has six on duty, Ens ign said. Collectively, the two fire departments have three pumpers, fire trucks with hoses and water tanks, three ambulances and one aerial, a fire truck with a ladder. The fire department has 29 full-time employees, who work in three different day shifts - gold, black and red - that have firemen work 24 hours and then rest for 48. Ensign said the biggest fire he can remember was a house fire 25 years ago started from empty pizza boxes left on a stove. Three students - two brothers and one of the JO HN HDHENADEL/ STA FF PHOTOGRAPHE R brothers' girlfriends - suffocated and died. John Philpott, a Charleston firefighter, puts out a small fire outside of Carman Hall on Wednesday afternoon.
