A fire always destroys some personal possessions that are irreplaceable to the owner. Let the rest of us take a personal warning from this incident and go completely through our homes with an eye to eliminating fire hazards. It is sure that we will find some items that constitute i hazard and can be removed. Excess papers, boxes or an accumulation of oil or grease that has dripped from our can is a danger area in our garages and should be checked constantly. APPROVED GASOLINE containers for boats and mowers should be checked and maintained in a safe condition. They should be stored where children cannot get to them. It must be remembered than an empty or half empty gasoline container can be more dangerous than a full contamer. Paint, varnishes and other flammables should be disposed of or properly stored. Under no conditions should any inflammable be stored in glass containers. On these nice summer days when we all like to barbecue outdoors, extreme care must be taken to insure against fire. A gust of wind can send sparks from your barbecue grill over a wide area. You must make certain that the fire in your grill is completely out before restoring yourgrill. The best way to be sure of this is to dump the coals in water. This also constitutes a saving to the individual because these charcoal cubes can be reused when they dry out. Make periodic and frequent checks of your home, being always on the alert for potential hazards. WE CAN BE thankful that no injury or loss of life was incurred in this recent fire. If each individual does his part in removing the hazards we can eliminate the possibility of another fire. If we do not take care of our responsibilities, we may not be so lucky again. Do your part. Make inspection of your quarters and instruct your dependents on safe practices and we will prevent a recurrence of a similar incident. Many people do not realize that personal property fire insurance is needed to prevent loss in the event of fire. Due to recent improvements in the fire rating of our Fire Department the cost of this insurance would be low.
