CHRISTMAS WARNING OUT
j
FIRE MARSHAL ISSUES 1IST OF
"DOXT'S" FOR HOLIDAYS.
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.
