Fire Prevention
Week To Be OBJ
served Oct. 80
ssFires Fight For The
Axis Is Slogan To
Home Owners

The public is unrged by the Mary
land Firemen to participate in this
program.
FIRES FIGHT FOR THE AXIS
is the slogan directed to America 8
home-owners during Fire Prevention
Week, which will be observed this
year from October to 8. Replace
ment of furnishings destroyed by
fire and the rebuilding of ruined
home rob the war industries of raw
materials vitality needed for other
purposes. To prevent personal loss
and to preserve goods and equip
ment for war uses, all home-owners
are urged to sweep their home clean
of fire hazards during Fire Proven
ton Week and maintain a constant
watchfulness for fir DANCE rs
throughout the year.
The observance of Fire Prevention
Week, from October SO, goes hand
in hand with the national conserva-
ton campaign One of the major fire
hazards that should be eliminated
In every home is accumulations of
rubbish; yet this same rubbish may
contain materials useful to the war
effort. Waste paper, rags, old clothes,
old mattresses, furniture, boxes, bro
ken toys and other hazardous accu-
mutations should be cleaned out dur
ing Fire Prevention Week and turn
ed over to authorized salvage col
lecting agencies. Elimination of all
other hazards in the home is an es-
sential of overall conservation in
it's protection of both structure and
furnishings against damage or de-
struction due to fire.
The great majority of farm fires,
factory fires, and residential fires in
the United States are a result of Or
binary carelessness and familiar
hazards, and the purpose of Fire
Prevention Week is to teach all citi-
zens the necessity for eliminating
IRE hazards. Fire Defense is a form
of conservation. It is positive con-
tribution to the war effort. 1t is ear
nestly hoped that farmers, laborers,
managers, housewives and even chill
dren will take part in this years
observance of Fire Prevention Week
and continue in the fight against
fire throughout the year.
The Firemen of Maryland not only
are ready to answer an alarm of fire
but are willing and anxious to help
the residents of their communities
in the elimination of fire hazards.
