Fire losses declirie in area
By Chris Zdeb
In 1974, the Clinton area had
26 fires resulting in a fire loss of
$120,068 or ,d a 23 percent
decrease under the figures for a• --
five year average from 1970-74,
according to a 'year end report
put out by the office of the Fire
Marshall. The average fire loss
was set at $5,281.
"We were very fortunate in
not having any fires begun by
arson," Clinton Fire Chief,
Clarence Neilans said. "Very
few fires began because of
defects in electricity. Most
were caused by carelessness."
Although no deaths occurred
in the area fires, the overall fire
death rate for Ontario In-
creased from 2.7 to 3.5 — the
highest since 1970.
The heaviest death toll was
taken during the colder months
of the year when heating units
were in operation and home
evacuation was made more
difficult because of the in-
creased weatherproofing on
windows, the report said. More
deaths ,occurred on weekends
and within the first few hours
following bedtime when human
vigilance is at its lowest.'
vertical spread of fire and
smoke were noted as con-
tributing factors in fatal fires.
A high number of deaths
were concerned with sleepwear
and bedding. Cotton was the
most hazardous clothing
material, possibly, because it is
the most prevalent material in
use.
Fire` figures for Blyth,
Clinton, Hensall, and Stanley
and Tuckersmith Townships
showed 40 fires resulting in
$135,255 .damage from 1970-74.
Last year, Tuckersmith

totalling $61,000; Clinton, 12,

Streetlights' will be installed

Egmondville and at three

Tuckersmith Township council

Tuesday night.
The south side of George
Street in Egmondville will get
three lights shortly; . and the
ministry of transportation and
communications will install

The ministry also agreed to

still waiting for specifications
from. the ministry before they

RAIL CROSSING ACCIDENTS
Rail crossing accidents are
an enigma. One would expect
they involve motorists who are
unfamiliar with the rail
crossing. But all too frequently
that is not the case, the Ontario
Safety League reports. In fact,
most ='crossing accidents in-
volve local residents, fully
aware of local rail schedules.
The problem is thattrains are
sometimes late, sometimes
early, and sometimes un-
scheduled. And in a race with a
train...the big guy always wins.
