October Is Fire
Prevention Month
Fire?where would we be without it
We use it to heat our plants and t
heat our homes. We use it to rnnW on
meals and for a hundred other thing?
Without fire, mankind would be in
deep freeze and darkness. All life woul
disappear since the sun's fire lights ou
world and sustains life.
Yet. for something so vital to lift
fire can also take away life. Fire ca:
injure, kill, and destroy.
October is National Fire Preventioi
Month and the theme is "Don't Giv
Fire A Place To Start."
Most employees of Clinton Mills ar
aware of the dangers of fire. A smal
flame can grow quickly and snuff ou
life or destroy a building, causing man;
dollars in damages and loss of time 01
the job.
Prevention, of course, is the ke>
Fires do not start when there are ade
quate safeguards. Even if precaution
are taken, alertness and swift actioi
can keep a small fire from boiling int
an inferno.
r ire prevention is a pood tninp t
practice both on and off the job. Man;
of our families have been burned ou
of their homes, their belonpinps goin,
un in smoke. Plant fires are costl;
and dangerous.
On n nuorado Hqv ir? TTnilrv,
Bv ... M.c
States. 33 people are burned to death
1.701 homes and apartments go up ii
smoke; 30 school and college huildine
are destroyed; 10 churches burn up; 13
industrial plants are laid waste; 21
stores, offices and restaurants are de
stroyed; and buildings on 127 farms ar
left charred and useless.
On a vearly basis, fire kills 12.20
people. Of these, over half?6.550 peo
pie?die in home fires.
Fire deaths aren't restricted to an;
one age group. Fire plays no favorites
If given a chance, it claims old an*
young alike.
Do vou have a fire psranp nl.m u
your house? Do you leave small chil
tlren unattended ? Do you practice fir
safety at your plants?
Preventing fires is the rcsponsibilit;
of every employee. Think about it dur
ing October. You'll bo hearing am
reading about fire prevention durin,
the week but what about the next 5
weeks?
