OUR FIRE BILL
October' brings us Fire Prevention
Week. At this time the Gedvernment
ofCanada calls upon ,..all of us to
dedicate ourselves to annihilate the
Number One Enemy of our daily
lives—Carelessness, with_ the grim
reminder in thesecritical days of
war, that "Fire Y'reventidn is Nat
ierial Protection".
From ceast to' coast, we, spend'
hundreds- .of millions every: year . to
.and' .overcome'destruction'.of
human beings and of property by,
fire. We 'build fire-resistant homes
and commercial. buildings; we, tax
ourselves to install efficient . water'
works and fire mains, maintain fire
departments andappartus, organize
fire marshal departmentsand fire
cornm'issioners' courts. And we spend
millions more on insuring ourselves
against fire i loss; or should. we say -
against persisting individual care-
lessness? For reliable statistic's show
that, on the average, at least 80 per,
cent. of Canada's outbreaks are caus-
ed through "inexcusable ignorance
and .neglect and are therefore. pre-
ventable".
