CAUTION !
1 • v-' *
Examine your stove pipes and flues. Be sure that they are
in good condition. Why wait until you have a big, roaring
fire, before finding out that the pipes are burned through,
and then have,a building catch fire. Be Careful!
Many, many admonitions mgiht be written of how to help
prevent fire from occurring. Now is the season of the year,
with cold days and nights, when hot fires are built and
sometimes allowed to get beyond control, resulting in con
flagrations^ whfch endanger yourself and your neighbors.
There is a certain degree of fire protection in Nome at
present, but the most important point is not to have fires
occur. Under a high wind, a fire is very liable to be beyond
control before the fire department can arrive on the scene.
We no longer have an electric fire alarm system which could
bring the department to the scene of a fire within a few
minutes.
At the same time, we believe it would not be amiss to
have some competent party make weekly or even monthly
inspections this winter, of all stove pipes, safety flues and
stoves in use. This would save many instances when a fire
breaks out, requiring the service of the fire department in
saving the building and others surrounding it. The City
Council, we believe could take action and probably do much
toward stopping any further fires.
