It is ftre Prevention
Week once again. Ever
wonder why Fire Preven
tion Week is always the
week of containing Octo
ber 8? The reason is Octo
ber 8, 1871 was the day
Chicago burned.
While history claims a
cow knocked over a
lantern in the O'Leary’s
barn, there is no evidence
that this is true. What is
known is the fire began
about 8:30 p.m.
Over 250 people lost
their lives in the Chicago
fire; three and a half
square miles of the city’s
heart was burned out.
This included 17,450
houses, stores, business
es, and churches.
According to Perry Fire
Chief Gary Hamlin, “Fire
safety is important and
that is the reason the
National Fire Prevention
Association chooses this
week each year as a
reminder about fire safe
ty."
“The most important
thing a person can do is to
have a working smoke
alarm in or close to the
bedrooms. With a working
smoke alarm, a person is
50 percent less likely to
die from a fire," said Ham
lin. “Most fatal fire deaths
can be prevented with a
simple smoke detector."
Hamlin said, "When you
are asleep, your nose is
asleep. So do not believe
you will be able to wake up
from the smell of smoke."
Hamlin said asmoke
detector is a cheap life
insurance policy.
“It makes no sense not
to have enough smoke
detectors in a house.
There should be a smoke
sive motion of the spine, a muscle strenth test,
and a private consultation to discuss the results.
* Anv further treatment shall be agreed upon in
writing bv both parties.

tips. He urges everyone to
have their central heating
units checked, and for peo
ple using kerosene heaters,
ceramic heaters, and space
heaters.
“Be careful not to set
them too close to curtains,
clothes, chairs, sofas, or
other flammable materials,
the fire chief cautioned.
For those with fireplaces,
Hamlin also has warnings.
“Keep a good screen in
front of the fireplace. This
will keep the embers from
flying out and catching
things on fire.”
Finally. Hamlin said, Olf
you have a . chimney fire,
shut the fireplace doors
and shut the damper. Call
911 for the fire department
and while waiting for the
fire department to arrive,
wet down the roof but not
the chimney.
National Fire Prevention
Week is to remind everyone
the perils of not being pre
pared. Check the smoke
alarms and make sure
there are enough smoke
alarms in the house to
warn everyone. Plan
escape routes from the res
idence and pre-plan spots
for everyone to meet once
leaving the house.
