Fire Prevention Suggestions by State Fire Marshal. Following the announcement that he had fixed the week beginning May 12th as clean-up week for Pennsylva- nia, Howard E. Butz, state fire mar- shal, made public a list of sugges- tions to be followed out in the various communities of the State which the fire marshal believes will be helpful in the department’s campaign for fire prevention. Of course, the removal and disposal of all rubbish about the homes and public buildings, mills, factories and other places of employ- ment is a primary factor in fire pre- vention and it is the intention of the fire marshal to exert every effort to make Pennsylvania free from rub- bish during clean up week. In addi- tion to the cleanup campaign, the fire marshal is of the belief that the week of May 12th would be a good time for the introduction of other measures which would aid in preventing fires and also in checking fires should they get started. ) : : The suggestions of Fire Marshal Butz as outlined in this direction are as follows: Make it a duty to inspect your premises regularly. Remove and destroy useless mater- ial that might cause fire. Ask your neighbor to help you re- duce insurance rates by improving conditions and the prevention of fires. Keep in view the possibility of fire and use precautions to avoid one. Earnestly labor for improved building regulations and the use of fire resistive material in the erection of new buildings. Put no trust in the fact that you never suffered a loss by fire as a rea- son for being unprepared. Expend a few dollars for extin- guishers and place them handy for in- stant use. Never discourage a neighbor who is wise enough to protect his proper- ty; do likewise. Now is the opportune time to en- courage carefulness in the handling of inflammable liquids—they are not fool proof. Stop fire losses—they add to the high cost of living. You are responsible for damage to a neighbor’s property. Look after defective chimneys, flues, heaters, stoves and stovepipes; have defects remedied; they are the cause of disastrous fires. Very many persons do not recog- nize the danger of carelessly handling gasoline. It is dangerous and should be used with caution to avoid acci- dent or possibly death. Always provide metal receptacles for oily rags and waste. Spontane- ous combustion may result by fail- ure to do so. Never permit children to play with matches—many a little tot has lost its life through neglect of parents to caution against this dangerous prac- \ tice. Insist on the inspection of every property in your community and the remedying of conditions in the inter- est of fire prevention. Assist in the work by calling to- gether the neighbors and forming a fire prevention association. Fires come when least expected. Is not the saving of your home worth an effort to get busy and pro- tect it by cleaning un and keeping it clean, free from rubbish and trash? Extinguish matches before throw- ing them away. Use none but safety matehes. Rubbish heaps are fire breeders. Fires start in them and are fed by them. A clean city will have few fires. Oil stoves and lamps should be trimmed only in daylight and out of doors if possible. Owners of property should use all reasonable effort to preserve their property in the event of fire—better,, however, to expend effort in the pre- vention of fire. Frequent clean-ups prevent fires, add to the beauty of the heme and surroundings, enhance the value of your property, create comfort, happi- ness and will make Pennsylvania fire- proof. : HOWARD E.
