FIRE CHIEF ASKS
HOME OWNERS OBSERVE
FIRE PREVENTION WEEK
Residential fires are on the in
crease.
In making this announcement
Fire Chief Ray Lancaster urged
householders to eliminate home
fire hazards during Fire Preven
tion Week.
Pointing out that careless use
of matches and smoking mater
ials continues to be the leading
cause of fires, he stressed the im
portance of taking the following
precautions: (1) Provide plenty
of large ashtrays and be sure they
are used. (2) When emptying
ashtrays, be sure every match and
butt is cold. (3) Never toss a
lighted match or cigarette into a
wastebasket. (4) Before going out
ar going to bed, be sure no butts
are burning on tables or under
>ofa cushions. (5) Never smoke
n bed!
While there are many other
specific rules for home fire safe
;y, basically fire prevention is
simply a matter of keeping the
hree elements of fire — heat,
uel and oxygen — apart, Lan
