 One of the most serious phases of the local fire problem states Chief Mill, "is the dwelling fire. That is why so much attention is being given during fire week to the home. Here, as everywhere, the most common causes of fire are careless smoking defective chim- neys and flues, careless use of matches by adults and children, needless accumulations of rubbish, defective electrical equipment and the use of combustible cleaning fluids"
 "A great number of fires which occur" stated the Chief, could have been prevented" and by in- forming the public as to what fire hazards really are and what can be done tc remove them, loss from fire can be reduced to minimum. "
