CANADIAN' NATIt NA1 Fire Preveotion Week October 5th 10 11th By proclamation of His Excelkmry the Governor General of Canada, the week of October 5th to 11th has been het aside as Fire Prevention Week. This week provide: an annual occasion to impress upon public Goundou. ut ss the enormous cost of the fire waste, to the end that conditions may he improved and tiro carelessness reduced. The world has passed through two years of the second Great War and we have all read accounts of the devastation ami havoc that has been wrought by means of incendiary and high explosive bombs and w0 have been shocked by tilt. details of :Melt account., Yet in the twenty-one year,: ianew I u e 1 rel tntion \i'crk was nt t estahlish- (.d nn Citlli.thi. this Cell lit_ recorded more than 0413,000 fires involving a property loss of over S740,0110,000 and a loss in human lives of 0101+• than ,.!uis!'. Our eompiaeeney in this respect is only matched by the contphteency with which we watched Hitler attain power, the Dominion Fire Commissioner at Ottawa states. PREVENT FIRES THESE SIMPLE SUGGESTIONS, iF FOLLOWED BY EVERYONE IN THE FAMILY, WILL MAKE YOUR HOME SAFE FROM FIRE 1 -Put lighted matches and smokes out before you throw them away. Keep matches where small children cannot reach them, Never smoke in the garage, barn or attic, nor in bed. 2 -Remove rubbish, waste papers and all unnecessary combus- tible materials. Provide metal ash and trash cans. Burn rubbish only in a safely covered brick or metal incinerator. Watch the fire. 3 -Examine all stoves, furnaces and smoke pipes to make sure they are safe and well away from woodwork or other burnable materials. Have needed repairs made at once. 4 -Value the advice of your fire chief who says that many fires are caused by dirty or defective chimneys. Have the chimney cleaned regularly, and have all defects repaired. 5 -Escape the danger of inflammable liquid fires and explo- sions by keeping no gasoline in the house. Do dry cleaning with safe liquids or send the work to the cleaner. Never start fires wibh kerosene. 6 -Notify the electric company of electrical trouble and the gas company of gas leaks. Replace "blown" fuses with new ones -not pennies. Avoid home-made wiring jobs- Don't look for gas leaks with a match. 7 -Teach everyone in the family to be careful of fire, to watch stoves, fireplaces, electric irons and all other possible fire causes, and every day to remove old rags, papers and other rubbish. 8 -Fireproof your home as far as possible by fire -safe roofing, fire stopping in hollow walls and partitions to stop the spread of flame, and a non-combustible basement ceiling. 9 -Inquire of your fire chief, when buying a fire extinguisher to be sure of getting the right kind. Don't hesitate to ask your fire- men whenever you have questions on fire prevention. 10 -Remember always where the nearest fire alarm box is and how to send in an alarm. If telephoning be sure the address is clearly understood. Use a neighbor's phone rather than one in the burning building: 11 -Explain to everyone in the house what to do in case of fire, how to put out fire in clothing by wrapping in a, rug or blanket, what to do when grease catches fire in the kitchen. 12 -Save life and property from needless destruction by fire by keeping the principles of fire prevention always in mind and never taking a chance with fire.
