Many destructive fires can be pre-
vented by a careful examination of
all stoves. furnaces and chimneys.
1t is safe to say that an examination
of the chimneys in our state alone
time to destroy many homes. Out Of
521 fires reported during the fiscal
year, 252 of them can be directly
traced to defective chimneys. These
fires caused a property loss of $34S,-
O0O.00. Don't wait until your house
burns down to fix your chimney!
