Home Fire Extinguisher Credited With Averting A Major Disaster A small home-size fire extinguisher was credited Saturday with saving a Logansport home from burning down. The fire occurred in a bedroom at the John Frushour residence.

1305 North St. Frushour said Saturday night his home lire extinguisher helped avert a major loss. "The fire extinguisher kept our house from burning down." Frushour said. "I'm definitely convinced of that." The fire started in a bedroom, apparently about 7 p.m. It was ignited by a curling iron that was left on the floor, according to Logansport firemen.

Firemen said a suitcase was set on top of the curling iron. The device appparently overheated, starting a fire that damaged the suitcase and burned through carpeting and into the floor. The Frushour family smelied smoke and noticed smoke about 7 p.m., firemen said. They thought the smell and the smoke were coming from a fireplace, however. Frushour said.

"At first we smelied the smoke and thought it was coming from the fireplace. After a while. I knew it was coming from a hallway. I went down the hall and found the tire in the bedroom. Frushour indicated the fire began to spread after he discovered it.

"You can't believe how fire spreads," he said. "I was scared, and I threw a blanket on it while I went to get the fire extinguisher. It even burned through the blanket." "I got most of the fire out with the fire extinguisher. After the fire extinguisher ran out, I noticed the fire had gone down into a joist in the floor and was burning like charcoal. At that point I called the fire department." Firemen were summoned about 2:47 a.m.

They extinguished the smoldering joist in a short time, according to Frushour. The curling iron burned a 15-inch hole in the floor, according to firemen, but caused no serious damage. "The fire wasn't that serious." Frushour said, "but it could have been. You can't believe how fire spreads through wood and carpeting. I'll tell you this." Frushour added, "if you don't have a fire extinguisher in your house, get one.

I think the one I have only cost about $16." "I'll tell you something else, too. Read the; directions on it before you have a fire. Once you- have a fire, you don't want to take the time to sit down and read the directions to find out how to use. it." Justice: Schools Will Get More In '83 Indiana schools will receive approximately $80 million more in 1983 than they receive this year, according to State Senator William F. Justice.

Justice, who is home for the weekend after a week of wrestling with the state's financial problems, said the School Formula Reaffirmation Bill. S. B. 64. passed the Senate Finance Committee by a vote of 9 to 4.

The bill will now go to the full Senate for second reading action. Justice said several bills dealing with fire protection were passed by the Senate Public Policy Committee. The bills would call for rules governing the operation of elevators during fire and emergency conditions, would require the Fire Prevention Commission to adopt rules for motels, hotels and apartments. and would require certain public buildings be equipped with smoke detection devices. Justice believes the Senate will look with favor upon S.

6, proposed by the Interim Study Committee on Corrections. It increases from $50,000 to $150.000 the maximum amount that can be awarded for construction contracts within the Department of Corrections. Justice noted that the; bill would allow for more inmates to be employed work projects, utilizing; their skills, and wouUJ- result in lower costs on" projects. The local senator said he- welcomes letters or calls', from those with legislative; concerns. He can reached by writing the; Indiana Senate, State; House.
