Many Fires Caused by Defective Flues Many fires caused from flues have j called the fire department out recent-! ly. Sines Jan. 1 there have been ten j fires. A'mrt a'l ha1' been from flues. Firo Chief Ed Mll!er said Satu.ciay that when people call the tire department if they know th3 fire is ; from the flue it would make it easier i for the fire department, to tell them o as then it will be necessary only j to send out ono company. When a general alarm Is put in all the com panies go. If there should be another five It would be difficult for them to g9t there. Mr. Miller said the only reason for so many f'ue fires is the Indiana coal j that is being used. The soot gets under the shingles and is very dry and when a fire starts it gets under there and does not break immediately.
