tically all hres result from human
carelessness, many Of which could
easily be avoided by giving just a
little thought and effort to protec-
tive procedures.
More than three-quarters Of all
fires are caused by inadequacy or
the careless use Of lighting, wires
and fixtures, chimneys and hues,
etc, infammable fluids, smoking
and careless use Of matches, sparks
on inhammable roofs and faulty
stoves, furnaces, boilers, pipes, etc.
Certainly IL is not too much Of a
task to make an annual inspection
Of these items; particularly when
one considers the tremendous cost
involved in rebuilding and the in
convenience which a family goes
through during that period.
These agricultural leaders also
suggest that farmers make a point
Of checking up on their fire insur-
ance policies during the week, and
think Of some inexpensive way to
store water near buildings for use
should a fire occur,
