Fire Prevention
Day October 8

Fire Prevention day, which is OBJ
states by proclamation of the govern
ors, is an important factor in the
campaign for the conservation Of the
national resources by reducing the
preventable fire waste of the country
and the terrible toll of life and acct
dent.
The fire losses In the United States
and Canada in 1915 were $1S4,9S9, 100.
The fire losses for the first nine
months of 1916 were $163,535, 30,
which is nearly $50.000,O00 larger
than for the same period of the previ-
GUS year.
The state fire marshal and fire pre-
vention authorities generally agree
that seventy-five per cent Of these
fires are due to preventable causes,
and could easily be avoided by the ex-
ercise OF reasonable precaution. indi-
vfdual and municipal.
Over 5000 are killed and 10000 in
jured annually as result Of fire.
The fire losses and the cost of fire
prevention in the United States
amount annually to $500,000,O00.
The annual per capita fire waste in
the United States is $3.50: in Europe
thirty-three cents. Reason: the latter
has better construction, less careless
ness and increased responsibility.
An ounce of fire prevention is
worth pound of fire extinguishment
The way to get lower insurance
rates is to have fewer fires.
