Want FIRE DOOR
FOR EASEMENTS
Chief Schmidt's Investigation of
Business and Apartment Blocks
Shows Big Hazard.

Fire Chief August Schmidt IS
conducting a special investigation
of all business establishments and
apartment houses in Rock Island,
and is giving orders for immediate
protection against extreme fire haz-
ards due to passages from base
ment to basement.
A number of buildings have
been found in which there are
openings between the basement of
one store and that of another. The
same condition has been found in
apartment houses.
The danger is that a fire original
ing in one basement may be quick
ly spread to the next. In this man
ner disastrous fires are caused in
many cases. the fire chief declared.
Another condition pointed out is
that when water service pipes, gas
pipes or electrical conduits are put
through from one building to an
other, careless workmen cut large
holes through basement dividing
walls. and then never close these
holes up after the work has been
completed.
Chief Schmidt has warned that
owners of buildings must see that
these holes are closed up. Regu-
lar passages between easements
must either DE closed or fire proof
doors put in place.
