FACTS ABOUT FIRE
During 1931 fire destroyed approximately 10,000 lives.
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.
