CHIEF FERGUSON
CITES NEED OF
FIRE PREVENTION
Urges Housekeepers to
Make Certain Oil Stoves
Are Clean.

c. F. Ferguson, chief of The fire
department, made the following
statements in an interview thi,
morning on the subject of fire pre-
yention and ITS Importance.
We, in ii Centro, are fair
example Of the whole United States
as to the number Of fires and their
damage, although our condition in
respect to fighting fire is worse
than other communities because OF
the fact that the climate is so dry
that everything is ready TO burn
with the slightest chance and fires
consume faster here than in damp
country.
Five years ago, at all conven
tions Of the fire chiefs and depart
ments of the country. the entire
time was spent and the addresses
made on how TO fight fire. Within
the last year or two the stress has
been laid on how TO prevent fire
the way to eliminate them instead
Of the way to combat them. jay
Stevens, state fire marshal, has
spent practically his entire time for
several wears studying and iccturing
on fire prevention. His effort
have done so much good in the state
of California that practically all
the eastern states have been try
ing to get his services. This alone
shows that fire prevention is no+
. small matter.
Should Clean Stoves
'This morning W" had dread
ful example Of the danger of fire.
While we do not know for sure, we
reasonably believe this fire could
have been avoided if the strictest

conduit. The most it can do is
burn out n fuse.
The fire hazard in FL Centre is
bad, states McKibbin and fires are
hard to extinguish owing 20 tho
dryncss, so protection is very inn
portant thing. McKibbin says that
fire prevention conditions are i'm
proving steadily here. Al wiring
is inspected and he, as city cicc-
trician also passes Judgment on any
condemnation OF wiring. Tho con.
tractors too, have approved the con
duit system and are cooperating
with The inspectors.

city ordinance. While these orders
were originally meant to apply 10
buildings where persons are en-
ployed. IL Centre has adopted them
TO cover all types of buildings and
the orders, he says, are the last
word in electrical instruction.

ing informed Mckibbin that ours
is one of the finest looking water
plants in the whole state and as
water department superintendent
McKibbin states that we have am
PIE water for fire protection and n
plant which is reliable and effic.

the newest wiring methods are be
lieved by McKibbin to be two Of
our greatest steps forward in the

been observed. Many fires which
are caused BY stoves could be
avoided if the stoves were kept a.
clean as when they were bought.
Oil and gasoline stoves should BE-
watched, cleaned and the wicks
Trimmed as carefully as & lamp
Otherwise the refuse from burning
kerosene or gasoline clogs and
catches fire. In every case that a
fire has been caused by an oil stove
the stove has been dirty.
"Firc prevention is a broad state
mem and means that we must live
it every day, Once Il year to Oh.
serve prevention Of fire is better
than no time at all, but it is not
enough for successful prevention. II
We continually watch and endeavor
to eliminate everything that could
POSSIBLY start fire, we viii Ger
tainly save lots Of property and
lots of lives. :"
