McCORMICK MESSENGER. McCORMICK. S. C.. THURSDAY, OCTOBER 6, 1938 America Fights Fire Menace Each year, the fire demon takes 10,000 American lives and destroys $300,000,000 in property. Of this, 7,000 fatali ties and $100,000,000 damage is caused by residential fires. During 'Fire Prevention week, most of the 25,000,000 homes in America will be inspected for “fire susceptibility 99 by firemen, 4-H dubs, rural scouts, state fire marshals and others. They will look for such menaces as forgotten rubbish piles and faulty heating plants. Many fires are caused by carelessness, but the more impor tant consideration is that modi fires are preventable. The bare truth 'is that America has one of the highest per capita fire losses in the world. Every two minutes of every hour, an American home catches fire. Here are the greatest fire hazards in order of their importance: (1) rubbish; (2) defective chimneys; (3) combustible roofs; (4) defective heating equipment; (5) matches and careless smoking; (6) gasoline and kerosene; (7) electrical defects, and (8) hot ashes. Watch for these menaces in your home and help keep down America*s fire toll. Remember that every 24 hours, 19 persons —half of whom are children—die as a result of fires; burned to death, suffocated or asphyxiated!
