FIRE WALLS.

Brick division walls should be built so as to constitute a fire wall

wherever it is practicable to do so. Such walls should project at

least three feet above the roof, and should be capped by stone, terra

cotta, or sheet metal. They must form a complete cut-off of all

combustible material, especially at the cornices.
