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.
