Think fire prevention all year long
DEAR READERS : Last year in the
United States, 5,240 people died in,
JJris. The total loss in property alone:
billion.
Wl Fire Prevention Week, and
although fires occur throughout the
year, each season has its own special
fire hazards. Here are some tips for
all seasons:
Fall: If you enjoy camping, select a
tent made of flame-resistant fabric.
Pack a reliable flashlight with plenty
of extra batteries to light the inside of
your tent never use matches or
candles. When building a campfire,
place it downwind of your tent. And
NEVER try to hasten the burning by
using gasoline or other flammable
liquid starters.
If you use your fireplace, have your
chimney professionally cleaned in the
fall to make sure it’s in good condition
for the coming season.
Winter: More fires occur during
winter than in any other season. The
reasons: home heating and the holi
day season.
If you use a portable heater, be sure
it is placed away from combustibles
draperies, furniture, paper, etc.

ing, knights, comical jesters, magi

Remember, the surface heat of some
portable heaters may reach 500 de
grees, so keep a careful watch on
your children and warn them to keep
away from heaters. Hospitals are
treating an increasing number of
patients with bums resulting from
contact with the outside surface of
some portable heaters.
For a merry Christmas, choose a
Christmas tree that does not have
shedding needles, and keep it stand
ing in water while it is in the house. If
you choose an artificial tree, choose
one that is flame-resistant.
After holiday parties, before re
tiring, check your ashtrays for smol
dering cigarette butts, and carefully
examine all upholstered chairs and
sofas to make sure that no “live”
Feast, which is held at noon and 2
p.m., features a four course meal
served by comely maidens. As befits
a royal feast, entertainment is pro
vided by Court jesters, magicians
and jugglers. The highlight is enter
tainment provided by the Sak
Theatre, a troupe of players from the
Magical Epcot Center in Orlando,
Fla.
Guests are served their favorite
beverage in souvenir Lake Lanier
Islands’ mugs. Cost for the meal is $8
for adults and $5 for children. Reser
vations can be made by calling (404)
945-6701.
Parking is $3 per car per day.

cigarette butts have fallen between
the cushions. Remember, most house
fires occur between 8 p.m. and 8 a.m.,
when people are sleeping.
Spring: Take spring cleaning se
riously clean out your attic, base
ment, garage and workshop. Throw
out trash, especially combustibles
such as rags, newspapers, mag
azines, boxes and scraps of wood.
Never smoke while fueling gas-pow
ered lawn mowers or chain saws. If
you must store gasoline, store it in a
ventilated area in a can designed
especially for that purpose. And store
oily rags and paint in a cool place in
tightly sealed metal containers.
Summer: When cooking out,
NEVER use flammable liquids near
live coals. An explosion or flash fire
could result. When you’ve finished
cooking, soak the coals with water
and make absolutely sure they’re out
when you leave. Smoldering coals
that appear to be “dead” can reignite
as much as a day later. If you use a
propane gas grill, always have the
lighted match in position before turn
ing on the gas.

• Never use flammable liquids for|
dry cleaning indoors.
• Have periodic fire drills in your
home to be sure everyone knows what
to do in case of fire.
• Keep easy-to-use fire extinguish
ers in your kitchen, cottage, back
bedrooms and on your boat. Invest in
smoke detectors, and be sure that
they are kept dust-free and in work
ing order.
• The telephone number of your
fire department should be taped to
every telephone in your house. If it
isn’t, should a fire occur, don’t waste
time trying to find it; get out, and call
from a neighbor’s house. And once
you are out, stay out. No treasure is
worth risking your life for.
