FIRE PREVENTION WEEK
Octob,:r 10 to 16
In Canada and the United States the week of October 10th to
16th is being observed as Fire Prevention Week.; The Dominion
Fire Prevention Association in. co-operation with Provincial Fire
Marshalls, local Fire Chiefc and ,others, is co-operating with civic
organizations in the furtherance of the aims of Fire Prevention.
About 350 people are burned to death and a much larger nem -
bee are injured by fire in Canada every year. The recorded loss
of property by fire in Canada during the 15 years, 1920 to 1934,
exceeded $610,000,000. In other words, at our present burning
rate, approximately one human life is: sacrificed and $110,000 worth
of property is destroyed every day in the year.
Prevent Fires
'by doing your share in keeping your premises freer
from rubbish; inspect chimneys and pipes frequent-'
4y; be careful with matches.... Use commonsense
always in handling cleaning Thuds and inflam
Diable liquids.
