'Chore's a burning need for you
t> observe Fire Prevention Week
(October 4-10) by checking your
lmme for fire hazards.
C(msider these statistics:
• Fire losses last year totaled
$1,056,266,000, the second year in
a row that they have topped a
billion dollars. They showed a 21
percent increase over the $870,
984,000 recorded fiw, years ago.
• There were nearly 300,000
residential fires last year.
• Fires claimed an average of
11,602 lives each year during the
past eight years. Thousands more
were injured in fires.
FIRE PREVENTION, like char-
ity, begins at home, and the aver-
age homeowner, however gener-
ously he treats his favorite char-
ity in other respects,, is stinting
himself and his :family on vital
protection against fire by failing
to observe one or more common
sense safety rules.
The National Board of Fire
Underwriters, in connection with
Fire Prevention Week, has set
l!orth basic rules to follow.
First of all, suggests the :Na-
tional Board, work out a Home
Escape Plan, with alternate routes
to the outdoors from every room.
Hold practice drills to be sure
each member of the family is cap-
able of taking the routes that are
mapped out. Figure out a work-

3. If you use an oil or kerosene
stove, keep main storage of oil
outside. Never refill when the
stove is lighted. Keep stove clean
and free of dirt. Don't use as fuel
either gasoline, crankcase oil or
any oil containing gasoline.
4. Make it a hahit to disconnect
your electric iron, wilen internpt-
ed by a phone call, the door bell
or caller.
5, Never keep flammable elean-
ing fltlid, such as gasoline, in the
house. Use safe cleaning fluids.
6. TO PREVENT those mysteri-
ous fires caused by "spontaneous
ignition" never put oily rags or
cloth saturated with pablts, fuli-
ture polish or wax in closets or
cupboards. Instead, get rid of
those which you will not need
again, and keep the others in cov-
ered metal containers. Keep your
waxers and floor mops in cool
open places.
7. Never throw flour, uncooked
cereals or dust from a vacullm
cleaner or dustpan into a stove
fire, or into a burning incinerator.
Dust is explosive. Wrap up dust
and dispose of it safely.
8. Never wear loose, flowing
robes or negligees while cooking,
A sleeve or sash may catch flx
on one of the burners.
Remember, fire prevention is!
everybody's business, not just the
fire department's.
An ounce of plvention is worth
a pound of cure, and the best way
to achieve fire safety is to keep
fires from happening.
Follow the basic rules of safe-
ty and your home is well on the
way to being fire safe.
