URGES FIRE CHIEF
ASHENBACH WARNS AOAINST
HAZARDS OP CHRISTMAS SEASON—EMPHASIZES DANGER OF
LIGHTED CANDLES.
With tha approach of every Christina! uuon most of the couuntry't
flrn chiefs catber a few more gray
hairs. Even If these are only mental
ones they are none the lesa regrettable. But It Is not surprising that
veteran fllreflghters- should be worried
at this season, for they realise better than can anyone else the special
hasards that are ushered in with the
prepartlone for festivities and with
tba actual observance. When interviewed today Chief Ashenbach of the
rlty Fire Department, frankly admitted that he would breathe easier after
the holidays are over.
"Before people brand me aa a 'kill-
Joy*," said the Chief, "let me state at
ouce that Christmas means fully aa
much to me as to any other resident of
this city. In fact. It la just because I
look forward to the day with anticipation that I cannot help but appeal to
people to do all possible to keep tt a
time of cheer. How eaaUy it may bo-
come a period ot sorrow in many
households, every fireman of as.
peritnee knowa only too wall.
Warns On Candles
"A little care with Are on Christmas day will not detract a particle
from the enjoyment ot the occasion.
Take Christmas trees, tor Instance.
They do not aeed to be decked with
lighted candles tn order to be pretty;
colored electric light assemblies are
mote ornamental and, when properly
made, far aafer: If a bright light Is
focused on the tree ln a darkened
room, the effect also Is pleasing, and
with tbla there also la practically no
danger. If electric current ia not
available on any farm, the tree ahould
not be Illuminated.
"Candles are always haaardous."
the Chief continued. "Placing them
In wlndowa where there are Inflammable curtains and decorations is extremely dangerous. 1 am 'hitting' the
candle hasard because of lata it aeems
to have come back Into undeserved
popularity. ■
"Here are a few additional p»e«au-
tlons which I Urge the public to observe In homea, in atores and elsewhere:
List ef Precautions
■Make sure tbat Christmas trees are
securely set up so that they wlll not
topple over, and keep them away
from heating and lighting fixtures. Use
metal tinsel, flake osbestos and powdered mica for snow effects, Instead
of paper clippings and cotton. Extreme care with matches and amoking
material should be exercised In the
neighborhood of trees and decorations.
Hvergreens should be removed im«
mediately after Christmaa before.they
have completely dried out.
"Avoid toys requiring alcohol, gasoline or kerosene for their operation,
and also flimsy motion-picture machines using inflammable flma. Low
priced electrical play things, should
not he given to children, aa they are
often defectively wired and frequently have weak, dangerous connections;
they have caused serious burns and
flree.
"If Santa Claus Is to be present at
the celebration, tell him to avoid the
use of long cotton whiskers. Hie
costume can be partially fire-proof by
soaking It in a solution of alum, obtainable at any drug atore.
"If anyone's clothing catches fire,
he ahould be promptly rolled In a rug
or wollen cloth In order to amother the
blase. Keep the flames away from the
face.
"Merchants should tree their husl-
nens premises of rubbish and paper
. accumulations, and should insist that
employes keep all exit clear. It ls
difficult, I realise, to keep stockrooms
tidy during the busy Holiday seaaon,
hut tt to wall worth the extra effort.
"Of courae," concluded the Chief,
"the bualnesa of the fireman la to ex-
linguist, fires, and day and night he
la rea^y to answer the summons. But
he !■ not a machine; he has feelings.
and If I understand him at all I know
that Christmas la tha day of daya tor
him aa for everyone elae. In all fair
naae', then, why not make it possible
for blm to enjoy ChrtotmasT .everybody can help by avoiding those hasards which may take the Joy of the
day for them as wail as tor the fireman."
