Farm Fires
Take Toll

THE PERSON WHO lives in a
farmhouse is in greater danger of
being killed by fire than is the per-
son who lives in a city home, ac-
cording to the National Fire Protec-
ton association, sponsor of fire pre-
vention week, Oct. 9-15, with the
cooperation of the U. S. department
of agriculture. The NFPA's warning
to farm residents is based on a study
of fire fatalities during a 15-year
period.
This study shows that IL percent
more persons lost their lives in
dwelling fires in rural areas than
in similar fires in urban districts.
Dos and Don'ts
Farm machinery needs to be kept
clean and in good repair. A single
spark from a tractor is sufficient to
set fire to a load of hay and the
burning hay, in turn, can ignite
the farm buildings. Other sugges-
tons made by the NFPA and the
USDA are:
Don't smoke in bed or in barns
and don't discard lighted cigarettes
or matches.
Get rid of flammable rubbish,
old papers, magazines, wornout
clothes, broken furniture and boxes.
3-Keep oily rags in metal on
tainers to prevent spontaneous igni-
ton.
don't use flammable cleaning
fluids. Cleaners which won't burn
are available.
5-Keep heating equipment and
chimneys clean and make sure they
function properly.
6-Repair defective electrical ap-
pliances and replace frayed cords.
Keep electric motors clean.
Blaming human carelessness" as
the underlying cause of virtually all
fires, the NFPA says, 'The biggest
fault is not that people don't know
what to do to prevent fires but
simply that they don't do it. If all
common, easily understood fire
hazards were eliminated, the num-
Der of farm fires could be reduced
as much as 80 percent"
