Ins aSct Your Home
For Fire Hazards
Make The Thorough Inspection
Of Your Home, From Cellar
To Attic, Your Contribution
To Fire Prevention Week.

With the start of the heating sea-
son bringing added fire danger, Fire
Prevention Week, being observed
this week, provides householders
with an opportunity to give their
homes an autumn check-up.
Last year more than 100000 homes
were damaged or destroyed by fire,
a majority of them in the fall and
winter months, according to the Ma
tional Board of Fire Underwriters,
which issues this advice to cautious
householders:
Start your autumn check-up in the
basement, with the furnaces and
other heating equipment. Furnaces
should be cleaned out once a year,
and in the case of oil burners, this
should be done by an experienced
repairman. Chimneys, flues and
smokepipes should be inspected for
cracks and holes which will spread
fire.
All rubbish accumulated during
the sumner should be cleared out
of the basement, as well as from
attics, closets and other places
Inspect the fuse box. See that
only 15-amp fuses are installed, and
get a supply of extra fuses to keep
on hand.
Inspect the wiring of all electric
appliances, particularly those port
able heaters you will use this win
ter. Have all defective wiring re-
paired or replaced.
Oil and clean the motors of all
electric appliances you will use this
winter, so they won't overhead and
start fires If your refrigerator mo-
tor isn't the "sealed-in' type, be
sure to oil this, too.
Get out your metal screen for the
fireplace and set it in place for your
first open fire. Inspect your CHM
ney to see that it is clear of all OBJ
StructlOnS.
Equip your home with plenty of
ash-trays to keep careless smokers
from throwing their ashes on car
pets or into wastebaskets.
Inspect your kitchen stove to be
sure that it is functioning properly.
Have supply of soda or salt on hand
to stop grease fires in broilers or
cooking vessels.
