City fires prompt call for stronger building laws
Within a week the city saw half a dozen basement fires with 11 lives lost and perhaps $250000 in property destroyed. Fires stemmed from defective gas jets or furnaces in cellars, underscoring need for a proper fire and building inspection system backed by sound ordinances. Firemen should lead inspections to prevent fires, and defective equipment must be moved or changed. The Bowen Merril building collapsed due to weak central supports, not merely fire. Debris may still conceal victims. a full investigation is urged, not insurer interests.
