Chicago Fire Example of Tremendous Loss Due to Carelessness

On Octotxr 9, fifty-one years a.ga, Mrs. O'Leary. of Chicago, carelessly left a lighted lantern in the barn. Her cow- kicked it over, setting- fire to the barn and starting a conflagration which swept the city. . The Chicago fire of 1S71 caused a greater loss than had any previous fire in the history of the United States. It has only been surpassed since then by the San Francisco fire of 1906. Two hundred persons lost their lives In the Chicago fire and 70,000 (about one person In every five of the population) wer rendered homeless. The flames raged over two thousand acres, destroying more than 17,000 buildings and entailing a property loss of approximately onethird of the city's entire value, or about $130,000,000. The loss In this great fire was appalling, but our country suffers a greater fire loss every year at the present time. It Is estimated that last year the lives of more than 15.000 persons were lost and rroperty valued at approximately one half a binion dollars was destroyed by flies, many of them preventable.

To reduce this tremendous annual destruction it was decided eleven years ago to set aside a day to be known as National Fire Prevention Day. October 9th, the anniversary of the starting of the Chicago conflagration, seemed to be a suitable date, and by proclamation of the president of the United States and many state .governors, it has been observed for that purpose. One day is such a'llmlted time to give io the nubject that a period of seveii days ending October 9, has recently been set aside as Fire Prevertlon Week. Nation wide attention is being given this year to the observation of the week. Governmental and state officials recognize the need and have lent their assistance to make the fire prevention movement successful. Chambers of Commerce throughout the country, at. the request of the Chamber of Commerce of the United States, are taking a leading part In conducting special activities designed to acquaint every man. woman and child with the necessity of personal care for the prevention of fires.
