It's Time Country Did Some
Thinking on Fire Prevention

lulIthutk OIt TIT 4 ACNCuSAOAt
At first thought, Fire Prevention day
looks little absurd but when statistics
are hurled at you showing that 80 per
cent of fires are preventable, you begin
to see that there is need Of something
to make people wake up to the facts.
Here are some of them that have
caused today, the forty-fourth annixer-
sary of the Chicago fire and Mrs.
O'Leary's notorious cow, to be set aside
as Fire Prevention day:
Of 1888 fires in dwellings, the Texas
State Insurance board has found that
S6.2 per cent were due to preventable
causes.
OF 22,6O2 fires in all other classes Of
buildings except cotton gins, 74.S per
cent were found to have been prevent
able.
Most of the fires were caused by UNI
safe stoves and other heating devices.
defective flues, and sparks which blew
upon shingled roofs.
Gasoline was another favorite fire.
builder, because of improper storage and
careless handling.
Insurance men all over the country
have long held that Is to so per cent OF
fires are inexcusable, but the figures OF
the Texas board, covering a considerable
period, are the most reliable that have
ever been obtained, and they show that
fire prevention is one of the most impor-
tant problems now before the country.
Carelessness-that is the final verdict.
Nobody believes that his house Is
going to be destroyed by a rusty heater,
a leaking valve, improper wiring-until
some day chance becomes the ally OF
carelessness. and the insurance man. or
the owner of the house, pays the bill.
And in the last analysis, it is the
owner himself who pays all of it; for if
there were no fires, he would not have
to pay insurance.
Personal responsibility is the remedy
for fires caused by carelessness.
Each member of the community must
realize that if he sets fire to any prop
erty, no matter how inadvertently, he
will be held responsible.
Not only morally responsible, but
legally responsible.
| This sounds like hard doctrine to
Americans, but it has been the custom in
France ever since the introduction Of the
Code Napoleon, and it has done effective
work in reducing the number Of fires.
The attorney general of Ohio has ruled
that under the common law, anyone
responsible for a fire which destroys
neighboring property is liable for DAM
ages to that property.
In Pennsylvania, a law has been
enacted which compels the person on
whose property fire starts to pay the
cost Of extinguishing it.
Not only must he pay wages for the
fremen, rental of the fire apparatus, and
the cost of water and chemicals, but he
must pay 10 per cent additional as an
overhead or supervisory charge
| A similar law has been recommended
by the National Fire Prevention associ-
alton for the entire country, and an
teffort is being made to get every state
to follow Pennsylvania lead.
This may seem very stringent legisla-

A number of Englishmen who were rejected
by the recruiting officer talk Of getting mp a

The Detroit times. [volume] (Detroit, Mich.) 1903-1920, 1915-10-09

This may seem very stringent legisla-
ton, but the courts are upholding such
laws.
In New York city, for instance, the
fire department sued a man for 81 500,
the expense of extinguishing fire on
his property.
The department proved to the court
that the fire was due to the mans neg
ligence in failing to comply with the
departments recommendations, and the
court rendered judgment against the
property owner.
These facts show that there is need
for Fire Prevention day-today-a day
that will make every good citizen think
of the condition of his property, and
resolve to make it just as freproof as
possible, not only for his own sake, but
for that of his neighbors and Of the city
at large.
