Your home: is it a fire trap
This year, tens of thousands of fires will
cause more than $900 million in damages, to•
Canadian property. Indeed, a fire will break
out somewhere in the country in the next
seven and a half minutes. In 1984, 598 Cana-
dians 'died as a result of fire. However, in
spite of these_ troubling statistics, most peo-
ple remain convinced that it won't happen to
them', andoften don't ,take the proper
precautions.. • .
The belief that increasing public
awareness of • fire hazards is an effective
form of fire .prevention recently prompted
the International Organization for.Standat-
dization ( ISO) • to organize a one -day
workshop on fire hazards and security. This
meeting, held in Torontoby invitation from
the Standards Council of Canada, ,was an oc-
C'aSiOn for experts from Canadaand abroad
to focus their attention on ways' to, better
educate the public on fire safety and
awareness, as well as fire control and
prevention. .
William MacKay, Vire Commissioner for
the province of A1'berta, told the delegates
that the greatest danger from fire is•in the
home - and more specifically in the kitchen.
•'If we concentrated on home fire safety, we
could eliminate a third of all fires, 77 per-
cent ()Mire deaths and 59 percent of the in-
juries resulting from . fires". said Mr.
MacKay. He also pointed out that about half
of all kitchen or cooking area fires are due to
overheated cooking oil or fat, which in many
cases has been left on the stove
unsupervised.
Smoking, which has traditionally been the
chief cause of home fires in • Canada, no
longer accounts for the majority of bedroom
fires in the country. Children playing with
niatches, mechanical 'or electrical failure.
and general ignorance .and carelessness
now account for the bulk of all'fires in sleep-
ing areas. , •
AlthoUgh'the situation has somewhat im-
proved, much remain:51.o, be done to keep
fire on our side. While the development of
products such as home sprinkler systenis
and fire -extinguishing range hood- sensors
offers encouraging possibilities for the
future,it is essential that we increase public
awareness through,events such as the ISO's.
recent.workshop on ...fire safety and
prevention.
The ,sponsor of this event, the Standards
Council of Canada, is the . national body.
responsible for the proniotion and coordina-
.tion of Canada's voluntary standardization
a•ctivities.
