Buffalo Has Many Basement Fires
Because of the large number of basement fires, Buffalo, N. Y., has the second largest fire loss in the United States in accordance with a statement made by Chief Hedden.
“Unfortunately, not all business men are honest,” the chief said. “We are repeatedly confronted with fires in basements to which all doors have been locked. Boxes are piled high behind windows, or partitions have been built inside the cellar so that we cannot get the water in to put the fire out.”
