R|EDEL TO ORDER
GENERAL INQUIRY
ON FIRE ESCAPES
Safety Devices to Be Ordered
in All Cases Where Law
Is Violated.

Jacob Riedel, chief of fire proven
ton, announced today he would ask
engineers in the city building depart
ment to investigate the fire escape
situation in Indianapolis on buildings
where there are fire hazards.
If inspectors find floor space and
lack of stairway facilities demand ad-
ditional fire escapes, they will be or
dered installed, Riedel said. In some
cases, buildings are adequately pro-
tected, Riedel said. The State law
provides every building of more than
two stories shall have fire escapes
unless the fire chief shall issue a
written permit that adequate provis-
ions have been made.
Through an agreement. the State
has given fire escape regulation to
the city officials. Riedel has seven
aides. His department ordered sixty
nine fire escapes installed in 1928.
Attention has been called to the
fact that the Odd Fellow and Ma
tional City Bank buildings do not
have fire escapes. Although both
buildings are fire-proof, danger of
panic ITOIn SlnOho might IeoolO III
casualties, Chief O'Brien said.
The auditorium of the Odd Fellow
building might put that structure in
the class of theaters accommodating
over 800 persons, it was said. The
State law requires certain number of
exits depending on seating capacity.
Riedel today called attention to lack
of inspectors both in his department
and in State fire marshal and indus
trial board offices.
Officials of the city building depart
ment said safety measures and fire
escapes are now receiving special at
tention in building permit applica-
