The present department consists of one hundred and twenty full paid men.   The department owns its own houses, numbering eighteen in all, each conforming in architecture to the locality in which it is located, all being thoroughly equipped with the latest modern appliances, to enable the men to make quick response to all alarms.   There are one hundred and ninety-four street boxes, of the latest Gamewell pattern, with glass key protectors, enabling the citizen to ring an alarm without the least delay.    Throughout the city are scattered six hundred and sixty hydrants, a great many in the business portion having double outlets.    The Los Angeles Fire Department is up-to-date and will compare favorably with any department in cities of its size throughout the world, and is so recognized by the National Board of Underwriters.
