Show Ifz 1- 4 kk fox? FIRE Prevention Week Fire Prevention Week in the nation and in Utah will be observed ob-served this year from October 3 to 9. It has been officially proclaimed pro-claimed by Governor Maw for Utah, with an urgent appeal that the public give heed to the menace men-ace of fire and the need for intelligent, in-telligent, public-supported effort to prevent fire. The annual toll of fire In loss of life, in injury and suffering, in loss of property and in general Inconvenience is huge-and it has been increasing steadily in recent re-cent years. Last year the total property loss in fires in the United States was $018,000,000. That was the greatest national fire loss in 33 years. Last year 8,500 lives were lost by fire. While the increase in loss of life has not been so steady as the Increase in property prop-erty loss, here again the toll has been greater than before the war. There is need for a vigorous and persistent effort to combat this toll. Most fires could be prevented pre-vented with just a little extra care. If we could just get all the American people fire-conscious- alert to the menace of fire and watchful in regard to the more obvious fire hazards in their homes, on their farms and in their place of business we could make sharp reductions in annual fire losses. Every citizen can and should do his part in the fire prevention preven-tion effort by himself being fire safety conscious, and by support, ing his local fire department and other fire prevention agencies in their work of combatting the rising ris-ing fire toll. The fire prevention appeal should strike home to every citizen cit-izen because it is in his own interest. in-terest. Good fire prevention work may save him or members of his family heavy loss, suffering, ev-en ev-en death. And it certainly will save him money because successful success-ful fire prevention work means less fire loss and therefore low-er low-er fire insurahce premium. It is in every respect a worth while project.
