Consistent and continuing reduction in the life and property loss from fire can be safely premised mainly on achieving greater fire resistance of ex- | terior and interior building members, | details and finishes, a large gain in which is possible with proper appli- cation and combinations of materials now in common use. The standard fire test consists in subjecting the material, construction, or device to a furnace fire, the inten- sity of which is regulated so that CHEVY CHASE BRICK WASHINGTON, D. C.

Floor construction snd bearing walls are required to suppert load and also to resist flame and temperature pene- tration to an extent that will prevent ition of materials in contact with side not exposed to fire. Incom. bustible finishes, such as yluwr must serve similarly in preventing ignition | of the material or construction pro-| tected. The fire resistance of the material, construction, or device tested in meas- | ured by the number of hours and minutes during which these require- ments are met in the fire test. Ability to withstand the attack of streams such as are applied in fire extinguishment is also required for walls, floors and partitions.
