Urges Repair Of
Furnaces Nov

This is the season when fires are
ON the increase" said Fire Chief An.
selm, yesterday. "Ah citizens Of The
city Of Wyand0tte will want to avoid
cold weather fires because they bring
so +mueh suffering and loss 10 the VII
tins. A common csase g these Asee
Is overheafe8 stoves and furnaces,
which can be blamed on poor mAintep-
ance ana faulty operation Keep your
heating plant clean and In sesd con
dition. IT'S probably out Of order II
you can't get as mech heat as desired.
In cold weather never force yo6r
fire. Don't put hot ashes Into wood
boxes or paper cartons. Use q metal
coIitainer instead.
Another cause Of cold weather fires
is sagging, rusted smokepipes that
permit sparks to fly out aud ignite
cOmbustible material. New pipes are
recommended where conditions are
dangerous Also check up on chimneys
for cracks and holes and clean out
fines every year.
"YOur fires are safe rs long they
stay inside the heating plant. See that
they remain there
Chief AnSelm warned that numerous
blazes classed as mystery fires" are
caused by spontaneous ignition. 1.-The
most common causes Of such fires in
homes" he said. "are cleaning mOpS
and cloths. floor cleaning compounds,
paint stained clothing and oily waste.
Keep paint or oil saturated clothing
! or rags in tightly closed metal e5n-
tainers or dispose of them ut once.
Another way is to wash them and
hang out to dry.
Now is the time to get the neces-
sary repair parts for your furnace be-
cause later. on | am afraid you will
not be able TO get them OH account OF
