Still Lead
Fire Causes

Carelessness with cigarettes con-
tinues to lead the causes of fires,
according to the January 1853 re-
port released today by Chief Fred
w. Lange. Of the ten fires here
in January 1868, three were due
to carelessness with cigarettes,
two to defective electrical ap-
pliances and one to defective wir-
ing.
The open winter brought an un-
usual entry of four grass fires.
Of the 38 alarms received 27 were
emergency calls, five were in
dwellings, and one was without the
city limits. Fire losses for the
month are estimated at $285.00.
A year ago January there were
45 alarms, 13 fires, 32 emergen-
cies, seven dwelling fires and a
fire loss of $3.50.
