C. 7 Main Causes For jFires Listed By Insurante Agency | Home Destroyed B\ Firr In The Nation Every Two Minnies Every twu minutes a home burns. Will yours be next? Eveiy two minutes, every hour, every day, every week, every month, throughout the year, the disaster of fire visits an American home. The reason? Carelessness mostly It seems that where fire is con cerned, man is his own worst enemy. G. P. Hall, Chief of the Wil liamston Volunteer Fire Depart ment has compiled a list of the most common faults or acts of carelessness that may lead to t disastrous blaze. These are brought to your attention in an ef fort to make Williamston a safer place to live in. In addition to the destruction of property, fire is a savage killer, taking a toll of over 12.000 lives in America last year alone. Read the list and study the dia gram of the house shown on this page, furnished by Wheeler Man ning, local fire insurance agent, then play safe .... follow the recommendations g-veil Basements, attics, and closets are prime breeding places for fire They are crammed with east-oil articles, greasy rags, dusters, and the electrical wiring is usually poorly installed. Internal nimbus i tion may start a blaze in any of these spots and gain headway for hours without being noticed. Keep these places clean and free from rubbish If rags or waste are to be re-used, keep them tightly sealed in a metal can. Electrical j wiring which has been improper- • ly installed or which has been allowed to deteriorate is often the cause of a serious fire Be sure the wiring in your home is safe and in good condition Call in a competent electrician to have it installed or l'epaided. To have extension cords hung on nails or hidden under (carpets where in sulation can wear through quick ly, is to inyite fire into your home Technically all wiring in a home is installed according to city ordinance but you can’t af ford to take it for granted. Have 1 it checked. Don't overload exist | mg wiring either. A wall plug with too many lines to lumps, sewing machines, radios, televi sion st-ts is usually more than it was intended to. A wire warm to the touch is a danger signal. Remember to turn off all elec ! trical apliances when you are through using them It not only | helps prevent fires but also pro j ! longs the life of the appliance. ! Don l till an open fireplace full i j of highly combustible material or | get into the habit of using it as | a trash burner. Never leave a fire I bunimg lit tie.* iti - pl.vvv without i first placing a safety screen in’ front of it. If your stove burns wood, keep it well away from the wall and the woodpile. See that the floor be j neath is properly protected. Don't keep gasoline or keresone in the home and above all don't use eith cr of these two liquids for starting a fire. They are Ijke dynamite. Keep the surface of your stove clear of all flammable materia! See that matches are kept in a metal container and out of the reach of children Don't put ashes in a combusti ble container if you burn coal or wood. If you are using oil for fuel, make sure that the burner is cleaned and inspected regularly He sure there is more than ample clearance from furnace to com bustible walls and celling. If It is overly warm to the touch, or there is the slightest sign of charring you are flirting with a fire. Keep flue stacks in good repair. Have the chimney cleaned at least once a year and inspected for t racks. Using a lighted match to search for a gas leak r< net only silly, it is suicidal. An out a gas tilled room and don't enter it with an open light Make sure gas pilot lights are propel ly safeguarded against faulty operation. Smoking in bed has made many a sleep a final one. Don't toss | lighted matches, cigars, or ciga j reeles into garbage cans or from | windows. Use ash trays at home * and wh.-n nr-, mg -.our car It's ; the only way to dispose of cigars and cigarettes. Flammable cleaning fluids can he extremHv..jfl.an.ge.rints causing ! disfigurement and death as well as fire Keep such fluids in a clos ed metal container and away from open flame or spark producing articles. Rubbing clothes in a cleaning solution often produces static electricity or file creating friction. Be careful, even with fluids advertised as non flam mable. Polishing waxes and oils should also be treated with the same caution. A hand chemical entinguisher should he kept in every home with all members of the family in structed m its use. Kach member of the family should also be drill ed in what to do when fire breaks out. The first action is to place the alarm hv phone or through the nearest alarm box. You should have the fire department phone number permanently fixed neai your phono and bo familiar with the location of the nearest alarm box Picture tne Worst possible situation in your home if a fire should occur and know what to do in each ease Save lives first, then property. If there is time to do so, have someone at the sr I'.S i l“n > u tl*l V t fighting equipment when it ai - rives on the scene. Finally, cooperate the year ar<.«nd with yur. d..,, ■ t rrent, not just during fire pre vention week. Their efforts are dedicated to the prevention of files as well as fighting them and they can use your help 'If any of the hazards shown or listed, exist in your home, coi root the situation as quickly as you can Yours may be one of the thirty homes that will burn in the next hour after reading this.
