Warnings
Should Be Heeded
Instructions received by Fire Chief
Sanderson 'and issued by The
k;ptlminion Power Controller, includes
hq following, which is understood
'Abe the law: No Christmas trees
'eleeChristmas decorations shall be
lighted except during the period
December 24 to January 1, inclusive
and only permitted within the home
or buildings in connection with
churches and religious orgeniz-
ations,.
A timely reminder at this tithe
might be the fact that inspectors
have been appointed, wittlizt this
local fire brigade and tla t;F ]lay+e•
the power to enter public places and
ebeck on any hazards they may
find.
Brussels very rarely has a fire
which is lucky! .But, just what does
happen when afire starts, always
remains to be seen after it is over.
The majority have been ehimney
flees and were easily controlled with
extinguishers and when a bigger
fire has occurred, a real good job,
was done by Chose who volunteered
to help put it out.
At this particular time with two
big fires fresh in mlod, one at
Boston another. at St. John's New-
foundland, where so many lives
were lost, ought to put any re.
spens1))1e parties to thinking: With
warnings, both in the press and on
the air, from the fire niarshali, as
web as investigations all over the
country, testing fire escapes. hazards
and fire -fighting equipment is it pot
time to do the same here?
As recently as last Sunday a call'.
was sent in from Mr. Laeler's home'
and had•it not been for promer-
action on the part of a few who
happened to be out on that cold day,
might have proven very disastrous.
The small 'chemical tanks' were
frozen, the fire truck wouldn't start
due to the extreme frost of tl.e night
before. Chas Davidson's transport
hauled the big chemical tanks to the
scene.
In another column on this page
you will find a request from Fire
(thief 'Gordon Sanderson, asking
everyone to he careful, especially at
this' season with many Christmaa
decorations, wrapping paper, efc:,,
around the house, they are all very
inflammable, Also that a periodical
check be made of cbimneys and
stove pipes around which 'decor-
ations are often ,hung, And very-
often
eryoften decorations are hong arouna

this either, Don't go away .for
Christmas dinner and leave the
drafts turned on your stove. 'Fire

Warnings
Should Be Heeded
Instructions received by Fire Chief
Sanderson 'and issued by The
k;ptlminion Power Controller, includes
hq following, which is understood
'Abe the law: No Christmas trees
'eleeChristmas decorations shall be
lighted except during the period
December 24 to January 1, inclusive
and only permitted within the home
or buildings in connection with
churches and religious orgeniz-
ations,.
A timely reminder at this tithe
might be the fact that inspectors
have been appointed, wittlizt this
local fire brigade and tla t;F ]lay+e•
the power to enter public places and
ebeck on any hazards they may
find.
Brussels very rarely has a fire
which is lucky! .But, just what does
happen when afire starts, always
remains to be seen after it is over.
The majority have been ehimney
flees and were easily controlled with
extinguishers and when a bigger
fire has occurred, a real good job,
was done by Chose who volunteered
to help put it out.
At this particular time with two
big fires fresh in mlod, one at
Boston another. at St. John's New-
foundland, where so many lives
were lost, ought to put any re.
spens1))1e parties to thinking: With
warnings, both in the press and on
the air, from the fire niarshali, as
web as investigations all over the
country, testing fire escapes. hazards
and fire -fighting equipment is it pot
time to do the same here?
As recently as last Sunday a call'.
was sent in from Mr. Laeler's home'
and had•it not been for promer-
action on the part of a few who
happened to be out on that cold day,
might have proven very disastrous.
The small 'chemical tanks' were
frozen, the fire truck wouldn't start
due to the extreme frost of tl.e night
before. Chas Davidson's transport
hauled the big chemical tanks to the
scene.
In another column on this page
you will find a request from Fire
(thief 'Gordon Sanderson, asking
everyone to he careful, especially at
this' season with many Christmaa
decorations, wrapping paper, efc:,,
around the house, they are all very
inflammable, Also that a periodical
check be made of cbimneys and
stove pipes around which 'decor-
ations are often ,hung, And very-
often
eryoften decorations are hong arouna
