CHIMNEYS... a common cause of Fire i Every fourth farm chimney is unsafe and liable to start a fire. Practically all farnthousetiires are due to defective chimneys and faulty heating equipment. Check YOUR chimneys this fall. Get into your attic and inspect the chimneys for cracks, breaks, rotten mortar, soft bricks and open joints; Make sure that no joist, beam or other wood is set into the chitnney's brickwork. No chimney built with an offset—or within four inches of any wood should be considered safe. Make sure that all unused tripe opeeings are closed with meld, asbestos or cement. Clean out your chimneys before they burn you outl Every chimney should extend two feet or more above the ridge of a peaked roof or three feet or more above a flat roof. A few dollars spent on your chimneys now may save you thousands later. S MOST COMMON CAUSES OF FIRE CHIMNEYS THRESHING. ELECTRIC WiRE LIGHTNING SPONTANEOUS COMBUSTION FON/7 4 Puimudia9 4 !
