Fires In the Philippines
The fighting of fires in the dry sea
son is a grave problem in the cities and
pueblos of the Philippine Islands.
House construction is light, the roofs
being made from uipa palm leaves, the
framework of bamboo and the sides of
either nipa or sawali—a woven product
of certain species of bamboo. When
this material has 'been exposed contin
uously to the sun for several months
it becomes as inflammable as tinder.
Fires that break out in the nipa dis
tricts alwavs gain great headway be
fore any kind of an alarm can be sent
in even where there is a fire depart
ment. Fires in such districts spread
with great rapidity. In thickly popu
lated areas it is not uncommon for a,
fire to burn sovcral 'hundred houses be
fore it is stopped.
