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.
