Fire Danger Is
Less At School
Rural youngsters letuming to
school this month' may not appro
elate it, but they have something
special to he thankful for, County 1
Agent Ben Jenkins of the State Col
lege Extension Service pointed out !
f hlt< U onb
? ? - j/viuwvi uui 1
this week.
These children, according to Mr.
Jenkins, will be several times safer
from fire in school than in their
own homes. 1 \
"If parents took the same precau
tions to prevent fire th'at are tak- j
en in our1 schools, thousands of chil
dren's lives could be saved every
year," the county agent pointed out.
He cited figures released by Fire
Protection Institute, national fire
safety organization, which show
that more than 11,000 persons, many i
of them young children, lose their i
lives as a result of fire each year, j
Conceding that not all schools^
have perfect fire prevention pro
grams, the county agent declared
that the average school is superior j
to the average home in fire precau
tion programs. He cited three spe- ;
cific factors: >
1. Schools conduct regular fire
drills which minimize panic in the
went of a small fire which could!
create mass hysteria.
2. From a fire safety viewpoint, i
schools are usually structurally su- j
perior to the average farm dwelling \
in that they have adequate exits. '
3. Schools are well stocked with j
dependable first aid equipment in '
the form of Underwriters' approved j
lire extinguishers.
"Not every home can he built to '
be as fire-resistant as a school,"
the agent said, "but all parents can I
become more fire -conscious. They]
can conduct home fire drills and 1
they can make sure that they have
dependable Underwriters' approved
equipment on every floor."
