Since December 1 a period of forty days, it has received no fewer than sixty calls, including false alarms as well' as calls to actual fires. To show that this number of calls is quite out of the ordinary it is stated that the total number received from. July 1 to November 30, 1923 (a period of five months), was ninety. “I think we have put up a Dominion record,” said Superintendent C. Warner. “No doubt the dry weather has had something to do with the increase in the number of calls.” Grass and hedge fires have been fairly numerous of late.
