CHRISTMAS FIRE SAFETY SUGGESTIONS (A MESSAGE FROM FIRE CHISF GEORGE MAITLAND) Many fires of disastrous consequence occur during the Christmas season, Andache tor these have been found due to failure to observe normal precautions or momentary forgetfulness of the added hazard during this season. From the experiences of those who were victims, come suggestions for fire prevention, which, if observed, will greatly lessen the chances that fire will take a disas- trous toll this Christmas. Flammable decorations 'should be kept to a minimum, They provide fuel for a rapid fire from any source of ignition. Metal, glass, or asbestos decorations should be preferred in any selection, The flame proofing treatment for paper and fabrics is available at low cost, Electric lighting circuits for the illuminating of Christmas trees should be examined for defects in plugs and fuses, for breaks and damage to the cords, An evergreen tree dries out rapidly in « warm room and should remain in a building for a few days only. It will retain freshness longer if the base is cut diagonally, and it stands in a pan of water, Location and support of the tree is important, It should be well away from fireplaces, stoves, heaters, light bulbs, and exit doors, The tree should be well supported, preferably with metel rods or wires. Smoking habits are particularly important beceuse of the quantities of wrappings end decorations, as well as the trees, thet might become involved, liatches and lighters should not be used near a tree, Loose paper wrappings should be placed immediately in = metal can or barrel with a metal cover. It is hazardous to leeve loose papers around and is dangerous to burn them in large quantities in a stove or furnace, Children are the usual victims, They need supervision when temptation is present and every precaution should be taken to meke sure that they cennot reach matches, remove liv'! 0d cendles or heave their own garments or toys involved in fire.
