(Detroit Free Press) Comes a story that the canny Morâ€" mons, without developing any alarmist symptoms, are quietly getting ready for the next depression. Total number of inspections mad by firemen so far this year number one thousand, seven hundred and fifty three. Residences are also inspected by fireâ€" men, who look for defective wiring faulty chimneys, dirty pipes and furâ€" naces. By fighting fire hazards they eliminate fire risks. Fire drill in the schools is held regâ€" ularly under the instruction of memâ€" bers of the fire department. At other times the principals and teachers of the school carry on drill in order that childâ€" ren migpt all be taken out of the buildâ€" ing in the shortest possible time. Many large Timmins schools are emptied of pupils in less than sixty seconds. People who believe that the life o. a fireman is a liesurely one fail to tak: into consideration the weary round: !of inspection of business places an residences to eliminate fire hazards. Ir addition, schools are visited and the deâ€" partment, working in coâ€"operation with the Board of Education, teaches ths students to file out of the building in as orderly and speedy a manner as possâ€" ible when the fire alarm is rung. They are taught to remain cool in the case of an emergency. Such calmness has often saved the lives of many children in cases of school\fires. T‘wo inspectors. appointed from amon:s the firemen, go around to business places at intervals of about a month, and go through the building. They lcok for dangerous disposal of ashes, loose inflammable material, escaping gases and defective wiring. They try to see, in fact, anything that might, to their trained eyes, constitute an actual or poâ€" tential fire hazard. Owners or cccupants of buildings are cbliged to keep their establishments up to a certain standard. Members of the Fire Department have authority to enâ€" force their orders under ‘the Ontario Fire Marshal‘s Department.
