The other fire calls were due to such causes as:â€" hot stovepipes, plugged chimneys, pipes on fire, etec. On Satâ€" urday there was a call to 117 Elm street south â€" a shed at the rear being set on fire, presumably by children playing with matches. Neighbours had the fire out even before the firemen arrived â€"â€" which was mighty quick work. The first of these grass fires was on the railway tracks toward the end of Cedar street. Children are blamed for setting this fire. The call came in at 11.04 a.m. on Thursday last. The same day at 2.40 p.m. there was another grass fire on ‘the Bartleman townsite. On Tuesday at 10.58 there was a call to 320 Pine north for a grass fire and at 12.58 p.m. the same day another grass fire had to be extinguished at 195 Northn Road. Two bonfires â€" one Tuesday at 10,.58 p.m. at 251 Maple north, and the other, yesterday at 12.13 p.m. at 221 Elm North â€" also meant calls for the brigade. Grass Fires Again Give Firemen Most Calls in the Week Timmins firemen had eleven fire calls during the past week. None of the fires resulted in any damage bein done. Most of the calls were for grass fires and bonfires. More care on the part of people in general will minimize any danger from this sort of fire. Children should be warned not to set fires going on vacant lots. Such fires spread easily and quickly and are a serious menace to nearby property, as well as a possible danger to life.
