[LITTLE

KINDLE
THE
FIRE,
BUT
GREAT
ONES
PUT
IT
OUT.]
1388.
Use
Pearlash.
A
Solution
of
Pearlash
in
Water,
thrown
upon
a
fire,
extinguishes
it
instantly.
The
proportion
is
a
quarter
of
a
pound,
dissolved
in
some
hot
water,
and
then
poured
into
a
bucket
of
common
water.
1389.
Buckets
and
Mops.
It
is
recommended
to
Householders
to
have
two
or
three
fire-buckets
and
a
carriage-mop
with
a
long
handle
near
at
hand;
they
will
be
found
essentially
useful
in
case
of
fire.
1390.

Retiring.
All
householders,
but
particularly
hotel,
tavern,
and
inn-keepers,
should
exercise
a
wise
precaution
by
directing
that
the
last
person
up
should
look
over
the
premises
previous
to
going
to
rest,
to
ascertain
that
all
fires
are
safe
and
lights
extinguished.

To
Extinguish
a
Fire
in
a
Chimney
(2).
So
many
serious
fires
have
been
caused
by
chimneys
catching
fire,
and
not
being
quickly
extinguished,
that
the
following
method
of
doing
this
should
be
made
generally
known.
Throw
some
powdered
brimstone
on
the
fire
in
the
grate,
or
ignite
some
on
the
hob,
and
then
put
a
board
or
something
in
the
front
of
the
fireplace,
to
prevent
the
fumes
descending
into
the
room.
The
vapour
of
the
brimstone,
ascending
the
chimney,
will
then
effectually
extinguish
the
fire.

(3).
To
Extinguish
a
Fire
in
the
chimney,
besides
any
water
at
hand,
throw
on
it
salt,
or
a
handful
of
flour
of
sulphur,
as
soon
as
you
can
obtain
it;
keep
all
the
doors
and
windows
tightly
shut,
and
hold
before
the
fireplace
a
blanket,
or
some
woollen
article,
to
exclude
the
air.
