In recent times fire cases of hay, straws, etc., are increasing, which are transported without plates. It is therefore necessary to order and monitor that the station and line personnel carefully observe all trains, in particular Wehrmacht trains, whether the shipment does not burn, which glows. If a danger of fire is detected, the train must be stopped immediately, in order to cope with the fire immediately in the bud or to be able to control by timely division of the train of fire propagation. In the case of trains which are composed exclusively of such shipments or which have a greater number of such transports, the train staff shall be strengthened and the attendants shall be placed on these shipments.
