. Carelessness Chief Cause “Carelessness can take many forms. A fire can start from such a little thing as an unextingished match or a lighted cigarette carelessly discarded. In fact, every fifth fire is caused by matdies and smoking. “Another fifth of all fires is caused by misuse of electricity and faulty electrical equipment. As a matter of just good common sense, you owe it - to yourself to keep your appliances is good working order, and if they are not operating properly, have them repaired by a qualified service man.” Mr. Dorsett added that fire prevention, while important at the holiday season, should be made a year-airound affair.
