Stabilization Is Natal ct j BEAUTIFUL NEW FORD CHIMNEYS FIRE CAUSE Defective chimneys are one of the most frequent causes of fires in dwellings.

Chim neys disintegrate most quickly at the top, owing to the action of the weather and hot gases. Wide cracks may form or mortar joints open up through which the sparks can pass. Sparks are par ticularly dangerous if the cracks are below the roof. Cracks and loose joints should be filled with cement mortar.
