FRIDAY, OCTOBER 11, 1985. ' 'THIS WEEK'S BIBLE THOUGHT JKAii raACE: wisdom's ways are ways of pleasantness, and all her paths are peace. Proverbs 3:17. FIRE CHIEF NEEDS OUR COOPERATION The Fire Chief, who in most small towns is the Mayor, has been given a lot of authority by the General As sembly of North Carolina, and it is in the Fire Chief's province to do a great deal toward the prevention of Ares. The salary which the Fire Chief Tf Hertford receives is merely nom inal. Until recently he was paid "only one dollar for attending fires, -as all other members of the fire de partment are paid. At a recent meeting of the Board of Commission ers, however, it was decided to pay the Chief an extra dollar per month. However, th$ Fire Chief has a lot t of authoritv if he doesn't ret much ' salary in Hertford. Section 2739 of the Public Laws of North Carolina requires the govern ing bodies of all cities and towns with populations of 1,000 and over to appoint a Chief of the Fire Depart ment and to provide him reasonable remuneration. Another section requires the Chief "to seek out and have corrected all places and conditions dangerous (in case of fire or on account of liability to fire) to the safety of the munici pality." Specific authority governing all Btoves, furnaces and other heating appliances in the town is provided for in another section, and periodic inspections are required. The Fire Chief is given authority to use condemnation procedure where there is danger to bfe. of fire prevention in the schools and, as amended in 1925, requires fire drill at least once a month during regu lar sessions in all schools. The Fire Chief is authorized by law to order removal of combustible ma terials and inflammable conditions from buildings and premises. Teeth are provided, with penalties to be imposed if the owner or occu pant of any building or premises shall fail to comply with the orders of the Chief of the Fire Depart ment. So the Fire Chief, in our case Mayor Reed, has authority and it is his responsibility to make a practi cal application of the preventative measures outlined. Let's rally to the Chief's assis tance by cooperating in every possi ble way to prevent fires. Fire i Over three hundred children attend the Hertford Grammar School. The building is two stories high. The auditorium is on the second floor. At regular intervals all of the chil dren and the teachers attend chapel exercises in the auditorium. And there isn't a fire escape on the building. Every precaution is taken to pre vent the building catching fire. But suppose a fire should break out some morning on the lower floor while the children are all upstairs. Would the two stairways take care of the situation? They might. If fire should break out near the foot of the stair case nearest '.he auditorium, then what? We've been too long negligent of this matter of fire escapes. True, the building has stood there for thirty years and no child has been injured. There has never been a fire there. But it isn't tod late. ' . ; There ought to be fire escapes out side some of those windows in -the auditorium.
