last year, ana the rural property
loss is estimated to have been
more than $133,000,000," the Ma
tional Fire Prevention Associa-
ton said. 1t is added that 90
percent of these fires could have
been prevented.
Considerable damage was
caused when a Noble county
farmer started a fire at his home
while burning a hornets nest
from the caves. This happened
only few short months ago
and we hear of similar incidents
in this locality from time to time
from the volunteer fire depart
mentS.
This check list for fire pre-
vention is recommended:
Don't smoke in the barn or in
bed. Never discard burning
matches.
Keep furnaces, stoves, brood
erS and other heating devices
clean and in good repair.
Store gasoline and kerosene
in approved containers at least
40 feet away from main build
ings, preferably underground.
Hire competent electrician
to do electrical work. Make
sure that you have enough cir
cults properly fused and of
ample capacity to carry the load
of modern electrical equipment.
Replace frayed cords.
Use fire-retardant roofing
such as asphalt shingles, ashes
tos or metal, on all buildings.
Cure. hay properly. Moisture
frequently leads to spontaneous
ignition even several weeks after
hay has been stored. If heating
is suspected, test hay tempera-
ture periodically. If tempera-
ture rises to approximately ITO
degrees, seek the advice of your
fire department
Get rid of trash. Old newspap-
erS, magazines, and other debris
can serve as tinder for any
chance spark.
Keep oily rags in covered,
metal containers.
Protect all main buildings
with an approved, prbperly in
stalled lightning rod system.
Make sure TV antennas are
equipped with lightning arres-
ters.
