NO NECESSITY FOR
some FIRE Alarms
Chief Magill Asks Citizens
to Use Some Judgment
in Matter
TWO SLIGHT
BLAZES LAST NIGHT

Fire Chief Patrick Magill calls the
attention of the public to the futility
and actual danger Of sending in fire
alarms for trifling fires. Numerous
fire alarms have been sounded fe
Gently for trifing fires and for this
reason the chief is prompted to ask
the public to use more Judgment in
sounding alarms.
Chief Magill urges that in the
future when a fire is discovered, the
person discovering il should Judge
whether the fire is serious enough
TO warrant sending in an alarm.
Last night about o'clock ere
broke out in the rear Of Nathan geal's
home, at No 800 Buttonwood street,
South Wilmington. The fire was
caused by an overheated stove or a
defective fiue. An alarm was sent
in from box No A. Tho flames spread
to the room above the kitchen and
before they were extinguished the
rear of the house was considerably
damaged. The loss to the property
and furniture is covered by lnsur-
ance.
Last night about s o'clock an alarra
was sent in from box No. III, at
Eighth and French streets. Down in
Frank O'Briens cigar store. ut the
southeast corner of Eighth and Wal
nut streets, someone had dropped a
spark or a lighted match into a pile
of rubbish under the counter. A fire
was the result and the place was
quickly filed with smoke. A few
buckets of water extinguished the
flames without much loss to the prop
erty.
Someone, however. had seen the
smoke, and without stopping to in
vestigate, rushed to the fire alarm
box and sent in a call. The fire was
cut before the alarm was sounded,
but four fire companies and two
trucks came hurrying to the scene.
The streets were crowded with men,
women and children, and that some
OF them escaped injury was consider
ed almost miraculous. It is condi-
tions of this kind which Chief Magill
is anxious to avoid, and therefore
urges that judgement be exercised in
striking fire alarms.
