FIRE CHIEF ISSUES.
'DON'TS" TO HALT.
LOSS FROM FLAMES
JOE BolsSENIN IN APPEAL TO
PEOPLE OF OTTAWA URGES
ALL TO DO THEIR BIT IN STAV-
ING OFF DAMAGES FROM CON.
FLAGRATloN.

Fire Prevention day, Oct. 9, Will
probably be more widely observed
this year in the United States than
ever before. according to information
reaching Fire Chief Joe Boissenin.
In view of the many proclamations
that are being issued and the exten-
sive programs of exercises planned
by many important cities, it is be-
lieved that the occasion will be truly
national event.
AS the day falls upon Sunday,
school exercises are being scheduled
for the preceding Friday or the Mon
day following
With property throughout the ma
tion being destroyed by fire at the
rate of about half q billion dollars Il
year said Fire Chief Boissenin to-
day, there is an imperative need Of
awakening the public to the necessity
for greater carefulness in dealing
with common fire hazards in the home
and elsewhere Every day should DE
a fire prevention day and we hope to
make it so in Ottawa,
IF the people of this city would
observe the following precautions, life
and property in ottawa would be con
siderably safer than they are today:
Don't use makeshifts instead Of
proper fuses in your electrical circuits
The fuse is the safety valve of the
system.
Don't leave electric fatirons or
other heating devices turned on
while attending to something else.
Don't look for a gas leak with an
open flame light. You will be sure to
find it.
Don't use gasoline or other volatile
liquids to remove spots from clothing
or for other purposes. 1t is cheaper
to pay for dry cleaning than for q
funeral.
Don't throw your matches or light
ed smoking material where they can
possibly cause fire.
Don't smoke in bed Even if those
guilty Of this practice are too green to
burn, the beds are not
Don't let children play with bon
fires or matches,
Don't fail to have your defective
chimneys and fues mended They
cause numerous fires in ottawa.
Don't forget to have your smoke
pipe cleaned of SCOT If cloggCd, it
may overhead and start a fire when
you operate the furnace.
Don't neglect to protect walls, cei.
ings and partitions from the overhead
ing Of stoves, furnaces and pipes.
Don't put hot ashes into wooden
boxes or barrels.
Don't fill oil lamps or stoves by
open flame light. Many lives have
been lost by this form Of carelossness
Don't let rubbish accumulate.
Cleanliness and fire safety 90 hand IN
hand
Don't fail to keep bucket o.
water and bucket of sand in a con
venient place for use in case of fire
They may save the lives Of your fam
lily.
Remember" said Chief Boisseniu
in conclusion, fire is a danger that
never sleeps and be continually OIL
