Boston Fire Brings
Warning From Lands
To Remove Junk
Strip Public HoIIs Of
InfIommobie Troppings,
OCD Chief Advises

Stripping all places, whether night
club or church bazaar, of "inf1am-
mable junk" that might cause a
repetition of the Boston fire was
urged last night by Director James
M. Lands of the ONCE of Civilian
Defense.
In a letter to all OCD regional
directors and State defense coun-
ellis, Mr.. Lands emphasized the
need of multiplied efforts to strip
places Of public assembly of trap
pings and trash because of the con-
slant threat of an air raid and the
increased danger Of fire from
Christmas decorations.
Answer to Threat.
Declaring that single enemy
bomb could start a conflagration
like the Boston night club fire in
hundreds of places in America, the
OCD director declared that one an
swer to this threat is join effort
of those engaged in civilian defense
and the regular fire officials of the
country to set about enforcing their
local fire codes to the limit and
Tightening them where necessary.
While the details Of the Boston
fire have not yet been developed. .
he said, "it appears that the con-
q 70 ttn
that is, a fire that puffed up and
spread with lightning speed from
object to object, engulfing an entire
interior in a moment and trapping
its victims without chance of escape.
There are many methods of
combating this type of fire, includ-
ing the flame -proofng' of in
fammable materials with chemical
solutions and the use of resistant
paints. They are excellent for
certain purposes and their use should
be encouraged. However, there is
only one real answer where large
crowds gather. That is to strip the
buildings Of their loose draperies
and, above all, of paper decorations.
Clean Out Junk.
"A few weeks ago the OCD and
other agencies took the lead in
National Fire Prevention Week. We
asked every one to clear the in
f1ammable junk from their homes
ana business places. This request
applies to all trappings and trash,
whether they decorate night club
or church bazaar. If this has not
been done already, it must be done
now or we shall be guilty of aiding
our enemy by setting our own fires
or turning those he may cause in air
raids into raging conf1agrations.
Annually in December hundreds
OF fires. some fatal. start in Christ
mas trees and decorations. l do not
suggest that Christmas trees be
foregone this year, but every effort
must be made to make them as safe
as possible in all public buildings
and homes"
