Just then she heard her son scream "the baby is on In .July, fire!" f Sir n on ell! S(33 She ran downstairs and found fire surrounding the child. She picked him up. ran outside, then called the fire department who responded and put out the fire. What was done wrong? What caused the fire, resulted in property loss of over $10,000 and minor burns to the child? Since the baby couldn't talk, the answers have to be assumed. The fast involvement of the area and the quick spread of fire were indicative of burning, flammable liquids. Evidence of this was found in the utility room. It was believed a flammable liquid, stored in the utility room or storage closet, was upset or leaked and then ignited by the clothes dryer or some other source. The main point is. if the flammable liquid had not been stored inside the house, the fire would not have happened. We all know that materials such as gasoline, cleaning fluids, charcoal lighter, etc. will ignite and burn fast. These fluids must be fire-damag- stored in a safe place, away from children, and used safely. This not only applies to the home, but where we work as well. Iater a fire involving an attempt by a housing occupant to save a few cents on charcoal erupted at another air base. Thrift was commendable, but in this case it cost the government and the occupant over $10,000. This military family was cooking outdoors over a charcoal fire. After the cook out. the coals were left to cool. Several hours later, the occupant, in the interest of economy, assumed that the cooled coals could be used one more time, put them in a box and placed them in an outside storage room Government employees have a financial protection plan that If you are frying food in a pan on the kite hen stove and the grease catches fire, turn off the heat immediately as a first step, the American Insurance Association says Then, quickly cover the burning pan with a large flat cover, using a long handled fork or a pair of kitchen tones to set it in place, or smother the flames w ith baking soda or salt.

What the occupants did not realize was that charcoal, heated and allowed to cool, may only be cool on the outside. It retains heat on the inside a long time and if confined in a box, enough heat will le generated to ignite it. It is believed this was the cause of this costly fire. The lesson is, once charcoal has been heated, dispose of it outside and away from other combustibles. E. Allen, Fire Protection Engineering Branch. Division.
