Earnhardt, ^3304 0 The shout of “Fire” in crowded build ings and plants has taken the lives of hundreds of persons as they fought to get outside through the nearest door or window. It is necessary to have a constant training program in all plants so that all persons will be aware of the most effective methods of fire prevention and also so that everyone will be fa miliar enough with fire-fighting equip ment to react automatically if a fire starts and do the right things without hesitation. Good housekeeping is a key to fire prevention and control according to the National Safety Council. Trash, scrap and waste are favorite breeding places for fires. Cleaning up and removing waste materials helps keep the danger of fire to a minimum. If a fire does break out, a neat, clean area will make fire control much easier. When a fire breaks out, first, warn everyone in danger no matter how small the fire may seem at first. Second, call professional fire-fighters. Third, fight the fire with available equipment. Catching a fire early will usually mean the difference between a minor blaze and a major holocaust. Basic fire-fighting tfceps include; —Protect yourself. Stay between the fire and a safe exit. Keep your head out of smoke and fumes. Don’t breathe hot air. —Cut off fire’s fuel. Turn off elec tricity, if it is involved. Turn off gas valves. Shut fuel lines. Keep windows closed to prevent a draft. Remove near by combustibles. —Attack the fire. Get the proper hose or extinguisher. Aim stream at base of flames. If in a container, cover fire with a lid. Stay close to the floor. Re treat if the fire gets larger. Observance of these basic fire-fight ing steps can save many lives and help to prevent excessive economic loss.
