俄勒冈州马里恩（Marion）燃烧的学校建筑物。
新的一年已经开始减少其学校建筑的灰烬配额。最近的一员是俄罗斯州马里恩（Marion）的英俊教育机构，此后几天就被消灭了。据说最近在本期刊上提到的供暖设备的缺陷之一是造成灾难的原因。午夜之后，天气为零时，大火在地下室爆发了，到了消防部门到达现场时，建筑物牢固地掌握了火焰。麦克法兰酋长发出了一般警报，当联合部队下班时，发现水压不足以使有效的战斗成为可能。地板上的油以及由于天气寒冷而连续加热了几周的事实，从而彻底干燥，对火焰的迅速蔓延做出了巨大贡献。麦克法兰酋长表示，只有当他们第一次到达这个地方时，水才能被扔到第二个故事的水平上。当一般警报响起时，泵站的正常压力在泵站增加到了105磅的紧急火压，但这无济于事。它需要泵供应压力。大约两年前，该城市购买了中央部的汽车消防车和泵，在这场大火中进行了首次严重测试。 It was worked continuously form 2:30 o’clock until 7 o’clock. The chief was highly delighted with its efficient service. Two lines of hose were strung from the pump and two were operated direct from a fire plug. The water quickly froze on the firemen’s clothes, ladders and other apparatus. The men hazarded the dangers of ice and falling walls, however, and, after having their injuries attended the four who were on the fireescape when a portion of the south wall above them collapsed, resumed their posts and remained on the job until the department left. The janitor is authority for the statement that in the rear oi the furnace, a large piece of plaster had fallen off exposing the lath. It is the belief that this was directly responsible for the blaze. Chief McFarland, when asked whether building inspectors had warned the board of education of the dangerous condition, stated that it was his belief that such warning had been given, but refused to say positively that such was the ,case. The building was constructed in 1906 at a cost of $33,000. It was insured with nine companies for a total of $22,000. The accompanying illustration was made from a photograph taken for this journal.
肯塔基州预防协会上周检查了欧文斯堡的火灾状况。30名成员与国家消防元帅博斯沃思（Bosworth）合作，他的三名代表和410次检查。商会对组织的目的完全同情，并建议组织一个防火委员会，以跟进检查并确保更正。
