County Agent Asks Farmers To Wage Fire War County Agent O. K.

Stating that the iire curve continues to surge upward to an all tme high this year, he urged farmers to take tini t eliminate the common causes f fire during Fire Prevention Veek, October 6-12, which is sponsored, by the National Fire .'Protection Association. According to an annual report of one of Indiana's largest farmer's insurance companies states that losses paid on barns and out buildings amounted to 58 percent of the total losses paid. Losses on dwellings having shingle roofs were almost four times as great as those on dwellings roofed with fire resistant materials. Losses would drop immediately and sharply, according to Mr. Anderson, if farmers would: 1. Protect all farm buildings with adequate lightning rods. 2. Clean and keep clean heating systems, fireplaces and flues. 3. Check electric systems for adequacy of load, and repair or replace worn cords and equipment. 4. Cover roofs of all . farm buildings with fire-resistant material. 5. Never discard a lighted match or cigarette. 6. Store gasoline and kerosene safely, and away from buildings. 7. Never use explosive cleaning fluids. 8. Cure hay properly before storing. However, not all fires are pre ventable, the NFPA, concedes. For the 10 that are unavoidable, it recommends: 1. Know how to call your fire department. 2. Ladders long enough to reach roof not protected with fire-resistant roofing. 3. An adequate water supply, such as a clear cistern.
