The second chimney fire to occur yes
terday afternoon, which caused the fire
department to respond with the fire
truck, was that at Adolph B. Lanes
house at 80 Highland avenue. The
telephone call was received at LEO. A
small volume of water played onto the
fire by garden hose squeched the
flames in short time and prevented
any damage from resulting. In the
past month two fires have occurred
from torches used to thaw out frozen
Water pipes. This practice and meth
cd of thawing the pipes is condemned
by Fire Chief A. G. Preble Every meth
cd of thawing pipes by fire blown
| torches or by use of flames in any 9th.
er way ought to be discontinued, since
this method will inevitably cause a
fire of great damage some time, Cloth
bound around the frozen pipes and
drenched with boiling water is the best
and safest method Of meeting these re-
quirements OF the winter months The
two fires mentioned occurred in stone
sheds.
