For Whom Does the Siren Wail Brother It May Be You Iiear That siren wailing hear that bell clanging There must be fire somewhere But lets not get too excited about it Fire is bound to break out occa sionaily Thats Mr Typical Canadian speaking And because he doesnt hear the fire siren too often hes inclined to shrug off fire as some thing that cant happen to me But it the sirens walled down his street every time fire broke out anywhere in Canada hed soon uit shrugging According to the anadian Institute of Plumbing and Heating hed hear that wall over 52000 times in 1934 thats over 1000 times week more than 140 times day Serious Sure its serious livery time fire breaks out anywhere Its loss to everyone In Canada Fire burns up millions of dollars worth of Canadas wealth every year The pity of it is most of those fires are preventable Take fires in dwullings for in stance They constitute more than one third of all fires and most of them according to the lost itute are caused by faults origin ating in domestic heating systems Fires break out in Canadian homes every day Here are few sug gestions from the Institute for householders who dont want theirs to be next One of the commonest causes of domestic fires is the chimney Where coal is used for fuel it builds up layer of soot in the chimney Sometimes this catches fire and when it does up goes shower of sparks and burning em bers that fall on the roof If the roof is of material that can illill flash of fire may result So rule number one is Clean the chimney periodically to get rid of that layer of dangerous soot Fires often start too as result of cracks in the chimney wall which allow fire or heat to pen etrate to combustible parts of the building next to the chimney Smoke pipes leading to the chim ney can also become fire hazards if they are allowed to corrode and become pitted with holes fMany fires start because of poor heusekccping Very often the area around the heating plant becomes cluttered up with all sorts of rub bish waste paper oily rags cardboard boxes all of which ate potential fire starters Of all the hazards that fire fighters have to contend with per haps the greatest is that of over heating Sometimes the fault is carelessness Rather than stoke the furnace little and often there is temptation to shovel in plenty of fuel and then take rest What happens First of all the fire itself is smothered There is no red spot left to ignite the gases as they are formed This in itself can cause fire through minor explosion of the gases But fiy ven if this is avoided the fire eventually becomes overhot and the heating plant itself and all the pipes leading from it can be come hot enough to set fire to surrounding woodwork or other combustiblet material with which they come into contact The same situation can arise where the heating plant is inade quate for the job it has to do Perhaps the house itself is poorly insulated and requires more heat than it should to keep it com fortable Once again the heating plant becomes overheated and the possibility of fire is increased Kgrosene or gasoline as an aid to lighting fire are of course These two highly inflammable icommodities should be forbidden anywhere near the heating plant and in fact should not be kept in the house at all Be sure that damper doors draft doors chains and pulleys work smoothly These are the instru ments by which you control the fire in your eating plant and unless they work efficiently you lose control and overheating can result Generally speaking the best fire prevontatives are cleanliness and control Modern heating systems which are automatically controlled right from the selfstriking heat ing plant to the automatic wall thermostat which keeps the home at constant temperature make an outbreak of tire almost an im possibility Add to this reasonable precautions such as keeping the heating plant room clean and tidy and the system itself under good maintenancv and most of the fear of fire is banished
