Safety
Numerous Fires
Prompt
Efforts In City
A summer siege of first
has kept the Rusk Volunteer
Fire liepartment busy during
the last few days. Luckily,
each fire was'contained with-
in a small area with little
damage to homes and various
buildings.
Beginning with a pasture
fire near Gallatin shortly af-
ter noon Thursday, a number
of fires sprang up around
Rusk within the next few days.
Friday morning a grass and
underbrush fire was report-
ed off of Hwy. 84 somewhat
behind Campbell's Wrecking
Co.~ No one was quite sure
how it started and the damage
was small.
Again Saturday afternoon
about l;30a fire was report-
ed near the city water well
on Hwy. 69across from Love-
lady's Drive-In. Although the
cause could not be identified,
It was hinted that both this
and a later fire between Bon
Hester's rent houses on Hwy.
84 could have been caused
as result of electrical high,
lines.
1. ate Saturday afternoon,
the Fire Dept. received acail
for a fire on Jack Lucas'
property off the Salem high-
way. The pasture fire which
was caught in time, burned
a few of the smaller trees
in the field but generally,
only grass and weeds over a
wide area, before being ex-
tinguished.
One fireman asked, "Who
can deny that sudden sick
feeling and sense of panic
after realizing that the small
fire which could 'never get
out', spreads, fanned by gen-
tle breezes and supplied with
fuel from uncut dry weeds,
furiously toward a house full
of irreplaceable valuables, or
a barn full of hay and equip-
ment. Someone must call the
fire department and quickly
for only second*- could mean
the loss of a lifetime"? work.
But what if the call cannot
be made, or worse, the truck -
are out on another fire alarm?
What then?"
Special care •-hould be ex-
ercised during the dry sum-
mer days ahead. It Is safer
to be overly cautious than
fatally careless. Burning cig-
arettes and matches are top
contenders for the No. 1 flre-
starter, "Safe'" smouldering
trash fires are dangerou1- and
should never be left unattend-
ed.
"Check and re-check trou-
ble spots around the home,
place of business, or farm",
the Fire Dept. urges. "Eli-
minate situation-; that might
cause a fire, immediately.
Remove all sources that would
intensify a fire once it had
begun. Discontinue question-
able practices that given the
right set of circumstances
would lead to a fire".
Above all practice safety.
Remember, "Only you can
prevent fires, and first can
prevent you".
The Texas Forest Service
reminds the public to be es-
pecially careful when burn-
ing trash, and In the use of
any other outdoor fires dur-
ing this period of extremely
dry, hot weather.
Although the grass Is still
green, the moisture content
has been reduced to a near
cured stdge and It will burn
as readily as grass killed
by frost.
Anyone allowing fire to es-
cape from his property onto
the property of another has
violated the Texts Fire law
ami will br liable for pro.
