B—6 = RECORD EXPERT' PROTECTION VIEWS Member of Fire-Prevention Body Makes Recommenda- tions to Government. Recommendations regarding fife pro- tection that should be worked into the lans and specifications for all of the 1 uliding Drogram, with special con- eral program special con- sideration for the protection of the val- uable and ble: dotumients of the Federal Gove: , 8% 'hade by an insurance specislist, Williai L a, member of the National Fire in"the. Gongressional Record by ‘Sem. n 3 tor Royal S. Copeland of New%nrt. ‘These recommendations are based on & -careful technical study of the White House fire on Christmas eve, the cause of which “was clearly: indicated to be faulty construction of the fireplace,” | Mr. Rodda said. He pointed out that “wood studs and furring strips were in direct contact with a four-inch fireplace and chimney, which is, of course, abso- lutely contrary to the mccepted rules of fire protection.” This insurance expert called atten- tion that “over two hours’ active fight- ing by a large proportion of the Dis- trict of Columbia Fire Depafiment was necessary to subdue the flames, and the final -out stroke was not sent in until the following morning, nearly 12' hours later. The fire is of peculiar interest because of the location and the fact that priceless records were endangered. Fortunately the records and documents destroyed are easily replaceable and not of high value.” “Attic Burned Out.” His report on the damage done shows that “the attic was well burned out. The roof boards and joists are largely burned away and the heavy trusses badly charred. The- attic floor is badly burned, but the floor joists .are mostly. intact. The wood shelving and docu- ments stored there are almost totally destroyed. The metal lathr and plaster inclosures around ‘the skylight wells to the first floor are intact, having with- stood the fire very well. . Pire damage on the first floor ‘was confined to the partitions, where the fire originated, and some damage to the:ceiling joists. “The entire roof and attic floor will have to be rebuilt and prombly most of the , section-on floors will ably considerably less than that. was no insurance loss,-as the Federal Government carries no’ insurance,” buildings of standard fire-resisting con- 2cugn. fully rvise new construc- “2.
