FIRE ALAnn
On 'the night of October 31, 1952, five engineers were seriously
concentrating on the drawing problem duo the next day. Everyone was
doing his work until one of the engineers remarkod„ 41 smell smoke."
This remark brought on an investigation of the corners and walls of_
the room. After a little investigation the cause was found, a cig.►
nrette butt in the basket at the bottom of the stops which lend to
the drawing room, had been smoldering togothor with an empty cigarette
pack, Although the paper may have burst into flames it would not
have caused any damage because it was in the basket made for the Pur!..
pose * What would happen if the flame did spread?
If the flame had spread there probably would have been serious
damage, The walls of the building are made of wood and plaster; the
flop =, wood.
Since there is only one fire extinguisher (in the furnace room
in-the building, n . scrious fire could have developed. In the other _
•ormitory building, which has two lecture rooms and a physics lab()
tory in the basement, there , is one extinguisher.
Another danger of fire is the dry leaves which fall from the
trees on and surrounding the campus. Although the weather is rathet
damp at the present time, under dry conditions the fallen leaves and
the trees arc fire hnzards. If a match or burning Cigarette was
accidentally thrown into the leaves, a serious fire could result
which could burn all the trees in this vicinity and Highncres too,
These are just a few of the accidents which can be prevented
by being careful, A careless person could burn Highacres off the map,
Fire is a wonderful servant when under control, but when it is out
of control it is a bitter enemy, ALWAYS BE CAREFUL.
