SIXTEEN MEDFOHD (OREGON) MXI1. TRIBUNE Sunday. May y Firemen in Oregon To Help Spot Fire Hazards in Homes Salem Starting on May 13 and continuing through the sum mer, firemen throughout the tate will call on every house holder in their communities help the occupant spot possible fire and life hazards, State Fire Marshal Robert B. Taylor an nounced today. "The opportunity of receiving a free, courteous and thorough home fire inspection is some thing that every home owner, renter and parent should take advantage of for his own safety and peace of mind," Taylor pointed out. "Home inspections are made only on the invitation and consent of the householder. When the firemen inspector goes Into the home he is hoping to show the occupant, simply and briefly, how to recognize and eliminate the fire hazards that are causing the majority of the home fire," Taylor emphasized. "Home fire prevention is ra pidly becoming one of the most important operations of the fire department, as attested by the fact that over 82 per cent of all our fire claims in the state were the result of dwelling fires and 72 per cent of the fire deaths occurred in home?," Fire Mar ihall Taylor stated. Burntd to Death State fire marshall records how that 16 children under five years of age burned to death in homes during 1956. Eleven of these deaths were small chil dren left alone and unsupervised while the parents were absent from the home. The fire causes in most cases were careless smoking and overheated heating devices. The fire marshal noted that as housewives get ready for spring and summer it is a good time to correct many of the worst fire hazards in and about the house. Before the fireman inspector arrives, it is recommended that the following be done: remove rubbish from the house, partic ularly attics, closets and cellars: clean up winter accumulation of rubbish m garage, workshop and yard; clean out the furnace, chimney and flues; keep plenty of ash trays in all parts of the house and use them. "Home fire safety principles as inculcated by the fireman in spector have proven beyond a doubt property and life loss due to home fires can be reduced with little effort and at no cost to the home owner," Taylor said.
