@ARELESsNESs and that arch
enemy of preservation-in-
~ difference-are the two fac
tors doing more than any,
thing else to increase the hazard
of fire in the automobile, according
to Frederick c. Russell. This atti-
tude blinds motorists to the added
danger in the fact that cars ere
travelling so much faster fire can
gain great headway before passengers
can have an opportunity to get out.
The idea that modern cars are not
apt to catch fire is leading to many
unnecessary losses, according to fire
records. Especially hazardous is the
fact that motorists are straying fur
ther from the beaten track, where
being stranded with charred car
may have its dire consequences.
The fire hazard is recognized by
the major oil companies. At many
filling stations motorists are told to
switch off the engine and lights. 1t is
law in some localities. Gasoline is
more volatile these days, more like
1t was in the pioneer days when every
one took very special precautions.
Even where motorists meet the above
requirements they still are apt to en-
danger themselves and others through
seemingly minor oversights. One of
the dangerous things to do is to put
your foot on the brake pedal while
gasoline is being put into the tank.
Movement of the brake pedal causes
the stop-light signal to go into action.
There may be a loose connection at
the tail lamp. a spark and an explo-
sion. If the stop-light switch is of the
exposed type there may be spark at
that point. Gasoline fumes hang
around the ground and are particu-
larly apt to collect under a standing
car.
