Electric Service for Fire Prevention When the home is electrified the danger from fires is practically eliminated. With adequate electric lights throughout the house, with an Electric Range, Electric Chafing Dish, Toaster, Percolator, Per-colator, Iron and other electric labor-saving appliances, the cooking and household work are done better, easier, quicker and more economically, and with a total absence of flame. Even matches are unnecessary. Complete electric service not only contributes immeasurably immeasur-ably to the comfort and convenience of the home, but is an added security against fire.

THEY MAY PROVE VALUABLE VAL-UABLE TO YOU Courtesy of National Fire Protection Aseociation. 1 HOUSEKEEPING: The attic, cellar and all closets and outbuilding-s should be cleaned at least once every year, and all useless male-rial male-rial and rubbish removed therefrom and burned. These unnecessary accumulations are dangerous and are the causes of many fires. Store all remaining material neatly, so that a clear passage may be had between or around boxes, cases, barrels, etc. Metal waste baskets only should be used. In storing: clothing1, first remove all matches or other material from the pockets and then carefully fold and neatly place away. Do not hang clothes where they will be near hot chimneys. Do not go into closets with lighted matches or candles. Care should be exercised in burning" leaves, dead grass or rubbish. Keep these fires a safe distance from buildings and never light them on windy days. Do not bank houses in the winter with straw, excelsior or other readily inflammable material; a chimney spark or carelessly thrown match may ignite it. 2 MATCHES: 1 Use only safety matches, and make it impossible for children to get them. Always place burned matches in . metal receptacles; never throw them on the floor or into waste baskets. 3 SMOKING: To smoke in garages, In bed or around stables containing hay is deliberately to invite disaster. 4 LIGHTING HAZARDS: Swinging gas brackets are dangerous and never should be allowed near curtains or dressers. Fix them rigidly so as to avoid contact with combustible material. If open gas flames are within two feet of ceilirfg see that ceiling is protected with sheet metal or asbestos board. Tips for gas lights are inexpensive, while a light used with a broken tip or without a tip often causes fire. Don't use pendant gas mantles unless protected underneBth with wire gauze. Hot carbon deposits form and drop from mantles of gas arc lamps. A globe closed at the bottom is safer. Examine the gas meter, see that it is securely set and well connected, and is .not located near open lights or furnace. fur-nace. An outside gas shutoff valve to service connection is desirable. Never look for gas leaks with a match, candle or lamp. Where a dwelling is lighted by a gasoline vapor or acetylene gas system the rules governing the safe use of these ilium inants should be carefully studied and rigidly observed. Illuminating oils should be kept in closed metal cans In a safe place and lamps should never be filled except by-daylight. by-daylight. Kerosene lamps should be kept clean and properly trimmed. If allowed to burn all night, select one that contains con-tains much more than enough oil. A dirty lamp containing only a little oil Is unsafe. Lamps with broad bases are preferable. Care must be taken not to place them near inflammable in-flammable malertaJ, under shelves, nor to set or leave lamps or lanterns in stables or other places where animals may upset them. Never allow little ch"lren to carry lamps and never set a lamp on a table cov . Children may pull it over. Do not use paper or decorative shades of inflammable material on lamps or electric light bulbs. Electricity is a hidden hazard and extends throughout the wire system in a building. Be sure it is safely installed and have the system carefully inspected and passed upon by a recognized electrical inspector. Many fires are due to defective electric wiring. Do not destroy the insulation on electric light, fan or heater wire by hanging them on hooRa or nails. Immediately repair or replace any defective defec-tive switches, fuses, sockets, etc. A fuse is the "safety valve" of an electric system, and should never be replaced by one of larger size or any other material. Before attaching electric irons, vacuum cleaners, cooking cook-ing utensils or any other electrical device to your lighting circuits or sockets, consult an electrician as to the ability of your wiring to withstand this additional load. Electric wiring systems are designed to carry only a certain current, cur-rent, and if overloaded may cause fires. Numerous (ires have been caused by leaving electric irons with the current on. Disconnect them immediately when through using. 5 HEATING HAZARDS: Coal and kindling should preferably be kept within a brick or stone inclosure and not stored against frame partitions par-titions nor directly against walls of boiler or furnace rooms. Never put kindling Into the oven. Deposit all ashes in metal receptacles or upon non-combustible floors, removing same from building at least once a week. Barrels or boxes should not be used for storing or carrying ashes unless they are cons-true ted entirely of metal. Before starting fires in the autumn thoroughly clean out furnace and flues thereto, also fireplaces. Carefully exam ine them and immediately repair or replace any defective part. Don't burn out chimneys and flues by making an especially hot fire with paper, etc. Main chimneys should be cleaned from roof to cellar, and all stovepipes where entering them provided with metal collar and rigidly fixed in place. Replace any tile, crock or flimsy flues and chimneys chim-neys with substantial brick chimneys. Dong lengths of metal stovepipe are dangerous. At least an eighteen-Inch clearance is necessary between top and sides of furnace, breeching and flues from ceding, partitions and other combustible com-bustible material. Repair at once any broken plaster in ceiling or partition walls. Do not have steam pipes in contact with woodwork or near inflammable materials, and do not permit rubbish to accumulate behind steam coils or radiators. Gas stoves or other heaters should have a ventilating flue to carry off the burned gas fumes, which are poisonous. Do not use portable rubber or similar tubing, but connect all gas stoves rigidly and securely with gas pipe. Examine valves and se that they are tight and do not leak. Never permit a stove of any kind to be set up without stone, brick, concrete or metal' protection underneath, or near a partition without a metal shield and air space. Never run stovepipes through partitions or paste paper over flue holes. All types of open fireplaces or stoves, especially where there are children, should be provided with substantial spark screens. Don't throw waste paper on an open fire. Every period of extreme ,cold results in numerous flies, due to forcing the heating apparatus. Keep this in mind next winter. Watch your heater. Keep hood and pipes of kitchen range free from grease and lint by cleaning with hot water and lye. Do not hang clothes or bags near stoves, or on stovepipes stove-pipes or steam pipes. Do not allow your family to jeopardize their lives by pouring kerosene on the kitchen fire to hurry it along. Extreme care should be used with alcohol or kerosene ""stoves. They should always be filled in the daylight and awav from anv open flame. 6 GASOLINE AND EXPLOSIVES: Do not use patent cleaning fluids, polishes or chemicals unless you know something about them. Many of these contain explosives and oils of a dangerous character. Do not keep quantities of gasoline or calcium carbide inside of garage or dwelling. An approved underground storage tank is the safest method for keeping gasoline. A metal waste can should be located at a convenient pla.ee outside the garage for all waste and greasy rags. Burn these every week. It is unsafe to use sawdust, or shavings to absorb grease and oil in a garage. If the floor is wooden scrub it occasionally occa-sionally with hot water and lye. The use of gasoline for cleaning parts of the automobile in the garage is a dangerous thing. The garage should not be heated by means of a stove or open fire of any kind, unless same Is isolated in another room, so that the ganoline vapors of garace cannot possibly pos-sibly get at it., Gasoline vapor travels. Do all gasoline cleaning in the open air and caution the members of the family to refrain from using gasoline or like vola tiles in the house. This material should not be kept in the house nor in glass bottles. Beware of rags or cloths used in oiling floors or cleaning clean-ing or polishing furniture. They may ignite spontaneously. Be sure and burn them after using. Leaving them about for onlv a few hours may mean a fire. 7 FIRE PROTECTION: One or more approved chemical fire extinguishers should be placed In every home. They must be protected against freezing. It is well to see that the garden hose may be attached to the kitchen faucet. ' 8 THE FAMILY GARAGE: Never allow open flame lights in garage. Run the auto outside when filling the lank so that gasoline vapors will dissipate. Keep an approved fire extinguisher and a pail of sand in garage. Water thrown on burning gasoline merely serves to spread it. Sand does not. 9 IN GENERAL: Have the telephone number of the nearest fire station on a special card at your telephone. Familiarize the family with the operation of the nearest fire alarm box. After operating a fire alarm stay near it to direct the firemen to the fire. Every minute is significant. sig-nificant. Don't fail to notify the chief of the fire department of anything you may see that is dangerous or liable to cause fire. SALT LAKE CITY FIRE DEPARTMENT.
