FIRE PREVENTION WEEK
This is the week that has beer
designated as Fire Prevention
Week.. Fire prevention should no
be practiced just one week on
of the year but every day of th'
year. Carelessness causes many o
the fires. Many lives are lost
many properties destroyed, ant
many forests ruined because of ons
little careless act.
To top the list of carelessness
no doubt, smoking is first. I have
read in the newspapers where peO
pie have been burned to death b,
smoking in bed Many homes hav'
been burned to the ground whel
people have gone to bed and lef
a lighted cigarette smoldering il
| a davenport or chair. Many for
ests have been burned and lef
bare because careless motOris
tossed a lighted cigarette, cigar
or match from the car. Many for
ests have burned, and we can neve
estimate how great the loss.
Some other things that caus
fires are trash, newspapers, /, an
pieces of furniture stored in attic
and Easements; cloths of paint an
varnish thrown in closets; fault
wiring and electrical equipmen
that is defective Cleaning fluid
and other highly explosive liquid
in cans are dangerous when store
near heat for heat can cause theT
to explode. Many people burnin
trash are sometimes careless TO
sparks carried by winds can star
other fires. Matches placed wher
children can reach them are dan
gerOuS, too.
Let us help our firemen as the
volunteer to help us. We shOul
give generously to help buy equip
ment and keep their fire fightin
equipment in repair, so that the
will be prepared for any emergen
cy. Let us watch and warn thos
who are careless, but most of all
let us, ourselves, be careful an
obey the rules of Fire Preventio
Week.
