Fire Inspection Report - January 1975
During the month of January, fire inspections were made of the following proper-
ties:
Village Hall
Bank - Liquor Store - Dry Cleaning Building
And a re- inspection of the basement of the Village Green
Generally, all facilities were in very good condition as they concern fire protec-
tion deficiencies. Of particular note, however, was the discovery that a plug in
a gas line near a meter in the Village Hall basement was missing. As long as the
gas valve remains closed there is no danger. If, however, the vavle were acciden-
tally opened, gas would empty into the basement. An explosion could occur because
• of the flames in the nearby hot water tank and furnace.
Burris Plumbing and Heating have been notified, and they will correct the situa-
tion in the basement of the Village Hall at once.
