A meeting of the fire department was held at the central hose house on Wednesday evening to elect a successor to Chief Leopold, resigned. Dan. McIntosh was elected chief by acclamation, and Ed. Breheny was elected 1st assistant, to fill the vacancy caused by the advancement of [Chief McIntosh.] (Brainerd Dispatch, 14 September 1888, p. 4, c. 3)
Serious Accident.
The fire department has at last received the new hose wagon which was ordered some weeks ago and in the language of the small boy "she's a daisy." The vehicle was taken to the central hose house on Saturday and was viewed by many spectators during the afternoon. On Sunday morning Driver Buley hitched the fire team to the wagon and in company with Chief McIntosh started down Front Street. At Sixth street where the wagon went over the crossing the jolt caused the snap on one of the collars to loosen and let the horse through the harness when the animals became frightened and unmanageable. Mr. McIntosh, with the intention of stopping the team, jumped from his position on the seat to the ground turning one of his ankles and breaking a small bone of the leg. He is consequently laid up and will be for some weeks. (Brainerd Dispatch, 13 May 1892, p. 4, c. 4)
On Wednesday a team of colts driven by Dan McIntosh became frightened at the corner of Sixth and Front streets and ran away. This frightened C. M. Patek's team that was standing in front of his furniture store and they also started down the street at a furious gate followed closely by Mr. McIntosh's team. The first team encountered a horse and cutter in its mad flight, hitched in front of Sanborn's restaurant, which was struck and thrown in a heap on the side walk. Both teams then continued down Front street to Eastman's place where one stuck in a snow drift and the other jumped a picket fence which threw them in a heap and they were captured. Front street presented a very excited appearance for a short time. (Brainerd Dispatch, 03 March 1893, p. 4, c. 3)
Fire Department Election.
The annual election of the Brainerd Fire Department took place last Monday evening, and officers were elected as follows:
Dan. F. McIntosh, Chief.
Thos. Crawford, First Assistant.
Si. Hall, Second Assistant.
C. D. Johnson, Secretary.
Wm. Bredfeld, Treasurer.
This makes a strong staff of officers. D. F. McIntosh, who is re-elected chief, has already served several terms, and has given such excellent satisfaction that he can hold the office as long as he will accept it. The department has been very efficient under his direction. (Brainerd Dispatch, 07 April 1893, p. 4, c. 6)
A party of gentlemen consisting of Louis Tache, John T. Frater, S. H. Parker, Dan. McIntosh and W. H. Onstine, have acquired a tract of land and fitted up a club house at the lower end of Gull Lake, which they expect to make a very pleasant resort during the coming summer. (Brainerd Dispatch, 03 May 1895, p. 4, c. 4)
D. F. McIntosh is out again after being laid up for a week from injries received from a cannon fire-cracker. Dan's hands were badly blistered and his escape from permanent injuries was miraculous. (Brainerd Dispatch, 22 July 1898, p. 8, c. 1)
Chief McIntosh Resigns.
D. F. McIntosh, chief of the Brainerd Fire Department, has handed in his resignation as such officer to the city council but owing to the absence of a quorum on Monday evening no action has been taken on the matter.
The communication reads:
TO THE HONORABLE PRESIDENT AND MEMBERS OF THE COUNCIL OF BRAINERD, GENTLEMEN:
I hereby tender my resignation of the office of Chief Engineer of the Brainerd Fire Department. I do this after mature deliberation. I have been an active member of the department since its organization and have served as chief for ten years. Some one else should be called upon to assume the duties and responsibilities of the position. I do no wish to be understood as in any way seeking to shirk any duty which I may be called upon to perform as a member of the department as I have always had and always will have the best interest of the organization at heart. But there are others as deserving of the high honors as myself, and who no doubt will perform the duties as faithfully and conscientiously as myself. I hereby respectfully ask to be relieved. With great respect I am,
Very Truly Yours,
D. F. McINTOSH.
