Fire Prevention Week
Marks Disaster Date
By SMO HEATER
There are posters prominently
displayed all over the country an
nouncing National Fire Pi'evenlion
Week. Each year since 1922 the
week including October 9 has
been so announced. Why?
It was an ordinary fall day in
the Middle West. It was October
9 1871. Ordinary people went about
their business in the ordinary way.
And then all hell broke loose in
two places and ^changed the ordi
nary pattern into something extra
ordinary.
In the lake-port city of Chicago
flame blossomed from a shed
owned by Mrs. O'Leary. This ordi
nary though unexpected fire was
brought under control 17000 build
ings and 168 million dollars later.
At Peshtigo Wis. an ordinary
forest fire broke the feeble re
straint of man and roared out of
control over 1% million acres of
forests and claimed nearly 1200
lives.
CARELESSNESS CAUSE
Aside from the fact that both
fires occured on the same day
they had one more thing in com
mon. Both of the fires were caused
by human carelessness and thought
lessness. Today eighty-three years
later nine out of every ten fires
can be attributed to the same
cause.
The Fire Marshal's Association of
North America (now a part of the
National Fire Protection Associa
tion) suggested that the fortieth
anniversary of The Great Chicago
Fire be set apart for bringing be
fore the public a much needed les
son in fire prevention. Thus Octo
ber 9 1911 became the first Fire
Prevention Day.
Nine years later Mrs. T. Alfred
Fleming of the National Board of
Fire Underwriters persuaded Pres
ident Wilson to issue the first Na
tional Fire Prevention Day Proc
lamation. In 1922 President Hard
ing declared the week containing
National Fire Prevention Day to
be National Fire Prevention Week.
This observance has extended to
our neighbor Canada.

urge that every week be Fire Pre

Fare Prevention Day.
It should be noted that the Pesh
tigo fire claimed more lives 1152
than the total of the Coconut
Grove fire in 1942 in Boston 492
dead and the Texas City disaster
of 1947 where 468 met death. And
only the 1906 fire in San Francisco
rates higher than the Chicago in
the dollar loss columns.
Did you know that fires take
about thirty lives everyday? Did
you know that nearly two million
dollars go up in flames every day?
Did you know that about 4000
children will be killed in fires this
year? Did you know that you the
men women and children the
soldier sailor an airman the
merchant mechanic and musician
can prevent nine out of ten fires?
The basic rules of Fire Preven
tion are the basic rules of every
day living.
