Help Your Fire Dept. Protect You Fire Prevention Week, October 4-1- 0, should be extended to include the other fifty-on-e weeks in the year. Loss of human lives and hundreds of thousands of dollars result each year from careless-ness in preventing fires and lack of knowledge of proper procedure when a fire occurs. During 1958 six lives were lost from fire in Salt Lake City. Three Df these were while dozing on a bed or couch while smoking and this is repeatedly the greatest cause of fire fatalities. $697,049 of property loss oc-curred in Salt Lake last year. Although this is an increase over recent years, three of the fires alone resulted in $288,217.56 loss or 41 of the total. Only 14 fires in 1958 resulted in over $10,000 damage but they accounted for . ITJo of the total. The largest fire ($153,762.26 loss) was caused by burglars using an acetylene torch to open a safe at Reed's Shopping Center. The fine efficiency of our local Fire Department is attested to in the fact that in all building fires in 1958 the blazes were confined to the area in which they were found upon arrival of the fire fighters. 1 12 MILE LADDER The Fire Dept.. last year, re-sponded to 2,856 alarms, and of the total 177 were false alarms. Of the total fires reported the larg-est number, 223, were caused by . children playing with matches. The 1958 Annual Report of the Fire Dept. gives 25,468 miles travelled by fire fighting equip-ment, 8,075 feet of ladders raised (over 1 12 miles), and 550,000 feet of hose laid. Although the fine abilities and efficiency of the Salt Lake Fire Dept. are generally recognized and they hold our fire losses to a minimum, the ultimate respon-sibility for fires is with the public.
