Nearly one-third of these were children under ten years of age. Two-thirds of the total were burned to death in homes. The total economic loss was $464,633,265. In order to visualize these facts, compare them with the following: The annual fire bill is about equal to 75 per cent of the interest on our national debt. The new excise and miscellaneous taxes now impos ed on us will produce, in a year, very little more than the annual fire bill. Over 80 per cent of all fires are easily preventable. Fire is the great destroyer—not only of lives and prop erty, but of employment, business opportunities, commun ity and industrial progress. Of every hundred industrial establishments burned in the last five years, 43 were not rebuilt. The waste was complete and absolute. The conquest of fire is simply the conquest of public ignorance, laxness and indifference. Each of us owes the community a duty—to eliminate the hazards on our prop erty. We cannot afford the “luxury” of fire. This is Fire Prevention Week—let’s think it over.
