Fire Prevention Steps May Save Extensive Losses Fire Prevention is aimed to get ride of all possible fire haz ards around your nome ana farm. But it's good sense to be prepared if fire should strike, says County Extension Ageni Harold Kerr. "Knowing what to do until help comes can save lives and property," he points out. "And the 'knowing' should extend to every member of the family. Discuss your fire emergency plans with the family and re mind them of the rules at reg ular intervals." The first rule is to get every one out of the house the inst ant you discover or suspect a fire. Then report the fire fast to your fire department serving your area, or to a neighbor who "can summon help. Know exact ly how to reach the fire depart ment by phone. Next step is to go into action with your "first aid" fire fight ing equipment if you can do so without taking any unneces sary risks. One important tool is the fire extinguisher. Be sure it is of adequate size and proper type for the kind of fire expected. Don't get stuck with one of the substandard extinguishers typ ified by the aerosol "beer-can' kind which contain usually less than a pint of liquid or from 12 to 16 ounces of dry chemical. They lust aren't ade quate and reliable in an emer gency, when you need them most. Approved extinguishers ones vou can rely on are mark ed with a "UL" or an "FM", which means they have been thoroughly tested and passed by recognized laboratories. Extinguishers should be spot ted in fire danger areas like home kitchens, barns, machine sheds and storage tanks of gas oline and kerosene. Be sure they are checked and re-charged regularly- .... i Another good fire fighting tool is a garden hose. Even filled water buckets are useful. Par ticularly for home safety, lad ders to reach the highest roof tops and windows should be ouickly available at all times. Another fire safety tip is this: Whenever vou are using gas oline, be sure to treat it with respect. Remember it gives off flammable vapors which need only a tiny flame or spark to turn into searing fire or dan gerous explosion. So do all refueling outdoors where the dangerous vapors can't accumulate. Keep away from all ignition sources, and observe a strict smoking rule.
