Farm Fires Hurl

-«,
Farm Property Fire Loss Is
Estimated At $100 Mil
lion Annually
-»—
With America again the gran
ary as well as the arsenal of de
■; .:,ilx''T>oy it h,->« become impera
jtive to save farm buildings, pro
1 duvtion and storage facilities and
I food Irom destruction by fire, the
National Board of Fire Under
writers says.
Fires on farms take an estimat
ed 3300 lives annually, as well as
; | destroying about $100,000,000
worth of property.
A large percentage of farm fires
result in total or nearly total loss
es. because the fires are not dis
covered in time, water supplies
are insufficient, or good fire fight
ing equipment is too far away.
To reduce the danger of fire on
j farms and rural properties, the
i National Board suggests:
I 1. See that exposed buildings
. are equipped with lightning rods
approved by Underwriters' La
boratories. Lightning is the lead
| ing cause of farm fires in most
areas.
( 2. Inspect your lightning rod
system to make sure it is in good
i i repair. Have rusted smokepipes
I and cracked chimneys fixed by a
' competent repairman.
4. Have electric wiring inspect
ed. Avoid 'home made” wiring or
temporary installations.
5. Instruct every member of
your household in the dangers of
using kerosene to start fires in
stoves. Be sure that kerosene is
used in approved heaters, stoves
or lamps built especially for it.
6. Prohibit smoking in barns,
machine sheds and oil storage
houses.
7. Provide an emergency water!
supply near a road near vouri
farm buildings. If you build a1
cistern, be sure it holds at least:
3000 gallons.
8 Cooperate with your neigh
bors to support a i ural volunteer
fire department.
0. See that every member of
j The assembly will be presided
lover by Dr. D. Ray Lindlev, vice
president of the International
Convention and president of At
lantic Christian College of Wilson.

Assemblies with Dr. Cook is Dr.
