These doors were consumed by the fire and left the stairs open to the flames." Fire Chief Croker in his forci? ble expressions following the fire states: "Everv building should have straight, broad stairways, of fireproof constata? tion, and every partition, no matter how small or how temporary, should be fireproof. Doors should all be I fireproof and should open outward." Ihr. roT fr^1 principle of fireproof construction il only beginning to be fullv realized by the publie as we\i M by architects, owners and employers. And that principle is? that however fireproof a building mav he in other , Vts'it ran only be as fireproof as its doors, trim and partitions. Unless all the doors, trim and partitions are fireproof?and this means hollow steel so constructed that it cannot warp or burst?the building is no safer as regards occupants and contents than the oldest non-fireproof Yo better demonstration of the importance of this feature of fireproof infl could eve,- occur than the Singer Building fire last fall. \o example could be more pertinent at this time. The Singer Building fire completely consumed the contents of the room in which it started, but muid not spread hevond being effectually checked by the Dahlstrom steel doors and trim, with which the building is equipped throughout its 41 floors. This is one of the most notable fires in history, not for disastrous consequences, but for the dis? astrous consequences that were averted - and its tremendous lesson in complete fireproofing. ,,.,,. _? tl _l- i u There is no modern class of building in which this lesson can be disregarded. Every architect and every owner contemplating the erection or alteration of 8 fireproof building to house large numbers of people, whether for office, factory or living purposes, should write or telephone to us for liter? ature and information regarding DAHLSTROM METALLIC DOORS and TRIM including the book "Buildings as They Should Be" illustrating and describing many of the noted buildings built with this fireproof feature. And every employer, also, who is directly responsible for the conditions of safety surrounding his premises, should secure and digest now this vital information, with a view of learning the differenceb-tween the fireproof building in name and the fireproof building in reality.
