CARELESSNESS
AS A CAUSE

Carelessness among employees was
responsible for eighteen fires about

ing 1915. and sparks from locomo-
tiyes and hot ashes were responsible
for more than half the total number
OF fires during the year, according
to the annual report OF nres and fire
losses sustained on all the lines Of

tanned by the railroad company in
this city during the rast year.
The pennsylvania during 1915 suf-
fered 1,O29 fires and a total loss OF
S21S.I3O.96 from them. The majority
OF the fires were but small blazes.
with the estimated and actual losses
running under 500 in over 20 per
cent. OF the cases. The report calls
attention TO fires caused through abb
solute carelessness, such as needless
disposal OF lighted cigarettes and ci-
gars. The loss OF property through
iires caused by careIessness is given
as s5.1S1.
Locomotive sparks caused go OF
the total fires, over 600 cars being
partially destroyed. Ashes from loco
motives caused 33 fires. Hot ashes
from stoves caused 10 fires. Is were
caused by .pontaneous combustion
