Thawing of Frozen Pipes by Torches Prohibited Fines Face Lawbreakers. Two fire warnings were Issued yesterday by Fire Marshal Grenfell as a result of the cold snap and the approach of Christmas. .Thawing of pipes by torches or any open fire is one of the most serious fire hazards which can follow in the wake of a cold spell. Fires originating from such sources have been the object of a special ordinance which makes the offender liable for the operating cost of the fire apparatus Involved and the wages of the firemen out on the run. The man who attempts to thaw his frozen pipes with a blow torch or burning paper will be liable to a penalty of not less than $50, as well as his fire loss, if he ignites his dwelling. The fire marshal recommends hot water or electrical appliances for the thawing of frozen pipes. They operate very efficiently and without hazard. Early warnings have been issued to prevent Christmas tragedies grow ing out of holiday decorations, Christ mas candles and other fire hazards of the season. Marshal Grenfell has compiled the following list of "Don'ts" for the holiday decorators as follows: Do not use candles. Use electric lights for decorating Christmas trees. Do not decorate Christmas trees with paper, cotton or any Inflammable ma terial. Use metallic tinsel aud other non inflammuble decorations only, and set til. tree aecureiy so that the children In reach- Ins lor thing, caunot tip it over. lo not use cotton to represent snow. If you must have snow use asbestos liber. Uo not permit children to light or re light the candles while parents are not not leave matches within reach of children at holiday time. Candle, are meant to be lighted, and if the children can get matches they will experiment with them. They imitate their elder.. Do not allow tree, to remain inside building, after the holidays. The tree It sell ignite, readily when needles have be come diy. A large number of fire, usually occur in January from this cause. Quickly and -safely dispose of the boxes, excelsior and other combustible materials which come with Christmas gilts. Keep all Christmas decoration, a safe distance from gas Jet. and electric light bulbs. A current of .uir may blow the light in flammable decoration, against the gas flam, or against the electric light bulb. Make no change. In electric wiring with out flr.t obtaining the approval of the electrical inspector. Do not fall to watch for all fire haz ards. Candle, when they melt low should be extinguished before they melt over, a. tht. is a sure way to cause a fire. Keep a bucket of water handy. Kemember that a soft rug will come In handy In case one, clothing catches lire. First throw person to floor, throw rug over him and wrap securely so a. to exclude air and smother the flames.
