Home owners and lenants who
have not experienced a dwelling1
lir ■ ul' M.me kind in the past five
years may consider themselves
good “fire managers." It is an
essential skill which everyone
should acquire.
“Fire Management,” according
to the Institute for Safer Living
is the practice of taking necessary
. measures to prevent fires in any
home or dwelling for which you
may be responsible. Lack of pro
per fire prevention knowledge,
lack of interest, and lack of or
derly habits are faults which con
tribute to more than 353,000 home
fires annually, with 5.000 lives
lost each year! many thousands
of injuries, and an estimated
$176,000,000 in home property
, loss.
The basic steps in good "fire
, management," says the Institute
are to eliminate the seven leading
causes of home fires, and after
wards.keep a continuing check on
the premises to make sure that
future hazards do not develop.
The seven most frequent causes
listed by the Institute are: 1. Fail
ure to keep homes free of rubbish
and improperly stored materials.
H—^^Failut*- .jo defects in
chimneys. 3. Failure to take pro
per fire proofing measures for
proofs. 4 Failure to keep home
heating apparatus in safe »perat
ing condition. 5. Failure to use
proper care in smoking and dis
posal of burning matches. 6. Fail
. ure to avoid improper use of gas
oline, kerosene, and other flam
. mable cleaning fluids 7. Failure
■ In use electrical equipment pro
pei ly or failure to kee p it pro
pei ly repaired.
A few points to remember in
your role as “fire manager" are:
-Provide a covered fireproof con
tainer for all flammable wastes
and rubbish. Frequently inspect
attic, cellar, and closets to pre
.vent rubbish collections Rubbish
-should not bo burned at home un
less you have a metal or heavy
wire incinerator. Place stoves and
heaters well away from walls and
wooden fixtures. Nearby wood
work is best protected with sheet
metal or asbestos. Protect the
fireplace with spark proof screens.
Oil burning units should have tin
approval of the Underwriter's
Laboratory.
Dry leaves and litter frequent
ly collect in gutters, drain spouts,
and roof corners Remove often.
Unless \ou are an expert elec
trician, you take your life and
property m your hands when vou
attempt to do home wiring or re
pair defective appliances These
jobs are strictly for the profes
wsional electrician
Cultivate safe smoking habits
by carefully disposing ‘of cigar
and cigarette stubs Keep un am
ple supply of ash trays handy.
Never smoke while you may fall
asleep.
Roofs demand frequent inspec
tion to eliminate fire hazards.
Fireproof shingles are today’s re
quired roofing material, while a
