Stabilization Is Natal ct j BEAUTIFUL NEW FORD CHIMNEYS FIRE CAUSE Defective chimneys are one of the most frequent causes of fires in dwellings. All chimneys should be built with sound, thick wall and preferably lined with fire­ clay flue lining. Woodwork should not be built into or in direct con­ tact with chimney masonry.

Sparks are par­ ticularly dangerous if the cracks are below the roof. Cracks and loose joints should be filled with cement mortar.
