MODEL ARSON LAW
PRESENTED TO
LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL
The Mode! Arson Law has
been presented to the Legisla
tive Council for consideration at
the next meeting of the Territor
ial Legislature, it was announced
this week.
F. C. Roberts, territorial fire
marshal, states that his office
considers that the passage of this
measure would greatly assist the
prosecution of arson cases and
suggests that the matter be
brought to the attention of Rep
resentatives so that they may be
entirely familiar with the import
of the Law when he attends the
Legislative meeting.
This model law. he points out,
Ins been adopted by 42 of the 48
states and many precendents
have already been established
which makes the work of the
Courts easier and where the law'
breaks the degree of arson down
to fit the crime, juries are better
able to consider the merits of
each case.

FIRE SAFETY CODE
ADOPTED BY ALASKA
A Fire Safety Code has been
adopted which is now the mini
mum Fire Prevention Code for
the Territory of Alaska. Copies
of this code will be printed and
evey organized fie department
and every city will receive a copy
of the code, it was announced
this week by the Territorial Fire
Marshal through the Department
of Territorial Police.
The assigned responsible fire
chief in each city is automatical
y a Deputy Fire Marshal and as
such is responsible for the en
forcement of the Fire Safety
Code within his area of respon
sibility. 'We must proceed with
caution in enforcing the code and
attempt to secure compliance on
a reasoning basis rather than by
compulsion if we are to be suc
cessful", Marshal Roberts stated.
Deputy Fire Marshals shall serve
wtihout pay.
One secetion in the new code,
: Investigation of Fires, has been
recommended for immediate
| practice. Fire Marshal Roberts
stated it would be an advantage
| to start operating under this sec
tion January 1, 1957 for statisti
| cal purposes. This section reads
; as follows:
|
"A report in writing shall be
| forwarded to the Fire Marshal's
office by Deputy Fire Marshals
I in whose distict a lire with an es
timated loss of over S500 or a
suspicious fire occurs, such re
port shall contain the following
information: Location of fire,
type of occupancy, size of build
ing, time of fire, name of person
reporting fire, where fire was
first observed, and reasons indi
va nig that fire was of suspicious
origin or that a crime was con
nected with fire. A similar report
-hall be required when serious
injuries are sustained or deaths
occur by reason of fire, these re
ports to contain names, ages, sex
ind address of casualties.
"We must all realize that the
people of the Territory have been
iperating without any code and
we have to present educational
urograms to all persons from
grade school age on up to the
elderly age groups on Fire Safe
ty if we are to reduce our life
hazards and our fire losses” Mar
shal Roberts stated.
The Fire Marshal's office will
assist any city, town or district
in analyzing their fire protection
problems but it is recommended
that all city managers and mayors
study the book “Municipal Fire
Administration” by the Interna
tional City Manager’s Association
before requesting such assistance.
