DUTIES OF THE ENGINEER. He resides in the engine-house to which he is appointed. He obeys all orders given to him by the superintendent or the foreman of the district. He must set an example to the men of alacrity and skill in the discharge of his duty, and of regularity in his general behaviour. He is held responsible for the conduct of the men under him, and for the state of his engine, and takes care that it is provided with the articles contained in the foregoing list. He reports to his foreman, every morning and evening, in writing, whether any of his men have been absent with or without leave. He enters in his book the time when the men go to the foreman's station before taking duty, and also when they return. On receiving notice of a fire happening within the prescribed limits, he instantly takes his engine and men to the spot, and places himself and them at the disposal of the superintendent, foreman, or senior engineer of the district in which the fire happens. He must make himself acquainted with the character and abilities of each man under him. He is subject to fines at the discretion of the Committee, for neglect of duty or misbehaviour. DUTIES OF SUB-ENGINEERS. The sub-engineers being attached to foremen's and double stations only, in the absence of the foremen or engineer, or when in charge of an engine, the duties of the sub-engineer are the same as those described for an engineer; when the foreman or engineer is absent, the sub-engineer must set an example to the firemen at the station of constant attention, implicit obedience and activity, and in so far as he exhibits these and similar qualifications he expects to rise in the service. DUTIES OF THE FIREMAN. Every fireman in the establishment may expect to rise to the superior stations, by activity, intelligence, sobriety, and general good conduct. He must make it his study to recommend himself to notice by a diligent discharge of his duties, and strict obedience to the commands of his superiors, recollecting that he who has been accustomed to obey will be considered best qualified to command.
