BE CAREFUL WITH FIRES
SAVE LIVES AND PROPERTY
By the end of this month, the fire loss figures for
1954 will be a matter of public record. Approximately
11,000 persons will have died. About S9OO million in pro
perty will have been destroyed.
These numbers will represent hundreds of thousands
of tragic stories of loss and suffering-
It is too late to change the 1954 statistics. But 1955
is a brand new year, not yet begun. As of now, its fire
record is ZERO.
Our very first Nev. Year’s resolution might well be
to exercise extreme care at all times during the coming
year, so that as many lives and as much-property as pos
sible may be saved from fire. Because whatever the 1955
fire loss totals may reach, for the most part they will be a
compilation of human carelessness, thoughtlessness and
neglect -- primary causes of fires. Obviously, whether
the figures are high or low is up to you and me.
