CITIZENS TOLD
FIRE DANCERS


A warning that extra caution
shcal4 b used b. the citizens q
Rock Island In making exsmina-
tons Of furnaces and chimneys be-
fore lres are started was issued
this morning BY Commissioner VIII
liam h. Fitxsimmons. in charge Of
the department Of public health and
safety, and Fire Chief August
Schmidt.
Attention was called to the fact
tina. z year ago many persons eth
er failed to heed the warnings is
sued or had made only cursory *
aminAtions Of homo heating equip
ment, and that as q result there
were many fires that should have
been averted.
The fire department answered no
end Of alarms from homes where
roof and attic fires were started due
to detective chfmneys. In many
cases furnaces were out Of repair
and sparks were thrown out to ig-
mite paper or other waste in base
ments.
Many People Careless.
1t is claimed that many fires are
due to rank carelessness. Paper is
left close to furnaces and much 9TH
er infamable material has been
found both in Easements and attics
Of homes by the firemen. Piling Of
ashes in the Easements without the
taking Of proper precautions is also
condemned. Many persons have
been known to have thrown waste
material on ash piles and when ad-
ditional accumulations Of hot ashes
are loaded on the piles the paper
and other waste material is ignited,
causing q fire that soon leads to
the burning Of the rafters and when
the flames get started between the
walls a fire that is difficult to
handle.
Insurance companies are said to
be taking a deep interest in fire
hazards at present, and hints have
even been heard that these COM
ipanies are fearing an epidemic Of
careless fires" due to the drop in
valuations Of property.
