Synopsis
Excerpt from Fire Prevention on the Farm and Elsewhere: Of Vital Interest to Men, Women and Children
A number of men were engaged filling a large cement silo. A threshing engine placed contiguous to the barn furnished power. A spark from the engine was blown through a crack into the barn. In less time than it takes you to scan this description the whole interior was a mass of flames. Two men barely escaped with their lives; one was badly burned. It was only by heroic efforts that the substantial residence was saved. Many barns are being burned by similar accidents, and the Provincial Fire Marshal might with propriety suggest some safeguards against their recurrence.
