Check Now to Avoid Winter Destruction, Firemen Advise To keep fire prevention in mind eration during cold weather? throughout the 52 weeks of the year, the Chillicothe fire department is following up National Fire Prevention Week with a call to the citizens to be mindful of fire haz ards. Firemen have advice on heating plants and fire places. "When 'the weatherman says 'Colder he could wel: add 'followed by death, injury anc said Chief Phil Hahn.

"Cold weather means increased use of heating units, and 25 per cent of all fires start somewhere in the heating system." The department goes on to give this timely information: How far is your heating unit from burnable material? Don't a yardstick! If your yardstick shows that burnable material is within 18 inches, you should take immediate action to the situation. To protect jurnable material, use one-quarter inch asbestos board placed on one inch nailing strips on the combustible finish. Remove all burnable material that is movable. Furnace Nothing burnable should be with- 18 inches of top, sides or rear or within 48 inches at front. Hot air pipes, however, may be within six inches.

Head clearance measured from, the bottom of oists of open joist ceilings. Basement floors should be concrete. Defective or overheated heating iquipment (including chimneys and lues) caused 74,000 fires resulting $71,800,000 in property damage 1963. Room Oil Burner Same distances as prescribed for 'urnaces. Protect floor with sheet metal or asbestos board.

Keep drip pan under faucet. Flammable liquids (including oil burner losses) caused 14,600 fires resulting in $21,000,000 in property damage. Oil Storage Oil tanks should have the fill line run to the outside so that the tank truck never runs its hose inside. Fuel vapors are dangerous. Each tank should be provided with a vent pipeline which extends outside of the building.

Phil Pettit and Mrs. Carl treatment. Have you protected or removed burnable material that was in proximity of furnaces, flues, boiler breeching, open gas flames, steam pipes or other fire hazards? Is the fireplace adequately screened? Is there anything near it that can heat and catch fire? Are electrical fuses of standard size? Are circuits overloaded? (15 ampres needed for each cir cuit). Practically all fires can be pre vented by a few simple precau tions. Each fall before firing up, a careful inspection should be made of all heating equipment and any defects remedied.

It is well worth the service charge to know that your unit is in proper working order. If this is done each year, you will avoid the large repair bills and actually pay less in the long run for proper maintenance of your heating system.
