Fire Safety Stressed
During Farm Week
Will your home be included
among the estimated 15,00 that
will suffer fire damage in Oregon
this year? Spend a few hours
correcting fire hazards around
your home or farmstead this
wt,(l National Farm Safety
Week and you will remove most
of the danger says N. C. Anderson,
county extension agent.
Fires in dwellings continue to
run high in Oregon. There were
more than 10,000 home fires In
Oregon last year for which insur
ance claims were made, and
many more not covered by in
surance. Actually, it is figured
that one Oregon home out of five
will suffer some degree of fire
loss during its existance.
The actual dollar loss from
dwelling fires for the last year re
ported by the Oregon Fire Mar
shal was over $1,000,000 for the
insured homes alone.
It is doubtful if a house holder
could sncnd time to better ad
vantage than the short time given
periodically to the elimination of
home fire hazards. For example,
you can remove over 80 of your
risk bv these steps:
1. Make sure your heating
svstem is safe. Watch out for
nw.rheatcd stove. flues, and
chimneys. Healing system should
be cleaned and inspected regu
larlv.
2. Follow safe smoking habits
;md be careful with matches. The
smoker must have safe habits if
the famllv is to be safe.
3. Make sure your electric
wiring is all right. It pays to
know that wiring, cords, and ap
pliances are in good condition,
and circuits are not overloaded.
