Watch out for Fire!

Fire is a serious hazard at any time and the recent, prolonged dry spell doesn't make it any easier to con trol. The Fire Brigade has many calls on its services and this is fair enough. However, if more precautions were taken in the first place it would ensure that much damage, and inconvenience, to house and householder, would be eliminated.
