Eight Causes Given
Fpr Fires In Homes
Use . of defective equipment or
carelessness causes most of the fires
which destroy hundreds of farm
homes in North Carolina every
year; ,say,s David S. Weaver, agri
cultural engineer of the State col
lege extension ' service.
He lists eight specific causes for
the majority of fires in homes:
(1) poorly constructed or defective
flues ant chimneys; (2) inflam
mable roofing material which ig
nites when sparks,, .settle on it; (3)
lightning; (4) spontaneous combus
tion; (5) careless use of smoking
materials; (6) improper handling
of kerosene and gasoline; (7) de
tective stoves and furnaces; and
(8) lack of ,safe and adequate
wiring for electricity, or the wrong
use of electrical appliances.
Weaver suggests that the home
owner makes an analysis of the
fire hazard by going from room
to room with a paper and pencil
and check over the above- men
tioned items. The kitchen, the base
ment, store-rooms, attics, closets
and stairways offer the greatest
problems, for it is there that most
of the fires start. .
A number of questions are 7asked
by the agricultural engineer to stress
fire prevention: "Do the members
of your family have habits which
are conductive to good fire con
trol? Do they use kerosene or
gasoline in starting fires ? Are they
careless about smoking conditions?
Are the oily and greasy nags used
about the garage put into metal
containers or immediately burned,
.or" are they allowed to accumulate
as a possible hazard ? Are the
children allowed to play with
matches ? Is the electric iron dis
connected immediately when the
ironer leaves the ironing board?
"Many simple Habits conducive
to correcting fire hazards may be
instilled into the minds of mem
bers of the . family by a general
discussion of fire hazard problems."
REHABILITATION
The farm security administration
has announced that during the last
fiscal year it made rehabilitation
loans to nearly 200,000 needy farm
tamilies many of them xn relief
rolls to enable them to become
