Help Prevent Fire Losses
Fire Destroys Without Mercy! What Must Be Rebuilt- or Replaced is Preventable Expenditure!
pa Your Part to Prevent Fire Losses! They Are Costly!
Follow These Simple Rules and Assist Your Company in Reducing the
• Annual Fire Loss!
- — .
4„!
1. DEFECTIVE CHIMNEYS AND FLUES—Chimneys should be
cleaned out regularly and not allowed to burn themselves out.
The safest type of chimney is a gond brick chimney, built
from the ground up, and lined with fire clay, or vitrified clay,
of a thickness of at least three-quarters of an inch.
2. SPARKS ON COMBUSTIBLE ROOFS—This hazard can
obviously be eliminated by means of incombustible roofing
Material by keeping the roof in condition.
3. LIGHTNING—'the tremendous toll of life and property dam-
• age annualy caused by lightning can be materially reduced
by means of well installed lightning rods, which have proven
to be nearly 100 per cent efficient.
4. SPONTANEOUS IGNITION — On farms this occurs most
frequently in 'under -cured or damp hay, although it also takes
place in numerous other substances. To guard against this
• hazard, the following precautions should be observed: (a)
• Cure all hay well; (b) Do not pack the hay; (c) Do not place
straw, fodder, bundles of grain or grass hay either at the bot-
tom or top of mows of alfalfa, clover or soybean heaps; (d)
Guard against wetting of hay in storage from a leaky roof or
open doors or windows; (e) Ventilate hay as much as pos-
sible immediately after it has been stored; (f) Avoid if pos-
sible, wide, deep mows.
5. MATCHES—Make sure that your matches are completely out
before discarding them. Keep matches away from children,
and do not permit smoking in barns or near combustible ma-
terial. During threshing operations, insist on everybody clear-
ing their pockets of matches, and place them in a safe con-
tainer.
6. GASOLINE OR KEROSENE—Gasoline or kerosene should
never be used to start or revive a fire. Avoid the use of gaso-
line, benzine or other inflammable liquids for, cleaning floors
or clothes. There are cheap and safe solvents on the market
for these purposes. Never fill lamps, lanterns, kerosene or
gasoline stoves while they are burning. If necessary to keep
small quantities of gasoline, it should be kept in an approved
safety can, painted red, and plainly marked "Gasoline".
7. HEATING EQUIPMENT—Heating equipment should be pro-
perly installed, operated and maintained. Wooden floors un-
der stoves should be well protected. The sides and back of
stoves and ranges' should be at least 18 *hes from wood-
work or wood lath' and plaster partitions, if such woodwork,
etc., is not protected. Avoid long runs of smoke -pipes. -The
sectias 'should be securely joined and the pipes supported at
frequent intervals. Smoke pipes should be at least nine inches
from unprotected woodwork. They shOuld not pass through
floors or closets, or enter a chimney in an attic, .and they
should be cleaned at least twice a year.
8. ELECTRICAL WIRING—Electrical . wiring and repair work
should be done by a competent electrical contractor. Circuits
should not be overloaded and 'fuses of the correct amperage
(15 amperes for the ordinary branch outlets) should be used.
Be sure that irons, toasters, heating pads and other appli-
ances are disconnected*when not in use.
9. FARMERS AND OTHERS are urged to take precautions when
using tractors in barns. Tractors should not he refilled with
gatoline when hot or when in or near barns.
Remove all possible fire hazards, but be, prepared to fight a fire
should it occur. Approved chemical extinguishers, pump -tank
extinguishers, fire pails or barrels of water and ladders should
be available on every farm.
