*PAGE 9 - PLAINDEALER - FRIDAY, OCTOBER 7, 1WT Fire-Emergency Tips (A series of articles on Fire Prevention and other emergencies written for your information by the Fire Fighters of company 1, McHenry.) Fire Prevention Week Coming Oct. 9-15 Fire Prevention week 1977 will be observed Oct. 9-15 in neighborhoods and factories, schools and businesses throughout the United States and Canada. Sponsor of the international event since its beginning more than a half- century ago has been the National Fire Protection association (NFPA). "Today, as much as in the early 1920s when Fire Prevention week was established, every man, woman and child in America needs to practice fire prevention--not just one week each October, but all year long," states NFPA President Charles S. Morgan. "Although there have been great recent advances in the science of fire fighting, there has been even faster growth in the potential for fire in our modern environment," Morgan observes., Common household goods made of plastics, the gas dispensed along with the products from some aerosol containers, the multitude of handy small electrical appliances...All help make life easier but also can contribute to the fire problem, he explains. For instance, Morgan points out, some of the chemicals which go into the making of those comfortable foam mattresses and furniture cushions give off thick, intensely uncomfortable, even life-threatening smoke when they catch fire. Because more fire victims die from smoke inhalation than from actual burns, emphasis in fire prevention education now includes preparation for fast evacuation in an emergency, the NFPA President notes. This means getting everyone out of a fire before its poisonous smoke has a chance to befuddle people's thinking and cause loss of consciousness. Recent development of low-cost home fire detection equipment has been an invaluable step forward in providing the early warning needed to escape, says Morgan. The National Fire Protection Association strongly advocates installation of smoke and heat detection systems in all . residences. "Environment" is a popular subject today. Because of the ever-increasing *tire load' where we live and work--due to the materials with which modern society functions -- 'environment' is perhaps the most important aspect of today's fire problem," according to the NFPA President. "Keeping informed about everyday fire hazards and knowing what to do about them is the best way for each person to avoid becoming a statistic in the fire loss column." Learn Not to Burn! Fire Prevention week is observed -- not celebrated -- by the United States and Canada each October, during the Sunday-through-Saturday period that includes Oct. 9 This date is the anniversary of "the Great Chicago fire" of 1871 which marked the real start of community effort to prevent fires, instead of concentrating only on putting them out. Woodrow Wilson was the first president to issue a national proclamation in observance of what in 1920 was Fire Prevention day. Two years later, the event was extended to become Fire Prevention week, proclaimed in 1922 by then- President Warren G. Harding and officially recognized by every successive president to this day. Originator of the annual fire prevention observance more than half a century ago, and still its sponsor, is the National Fire Protection association. This independent non-profit w •.

Toll of the Chicago fire of 1871 was monumental in terms of the young frontier city and of the economy of those days: 250 lives lost; 17,430 buildings destroyed; estimated cost $168 million in property lost. "Observed" will continue to be the right word for Fire Prevention week as long as fire's annual toll remains at astronomical levels, even in proportion to today's population growth and economic inflation: in the U.S. alone, 11,800 fire deaths in a single year; 3.1 million fires; dollar losses well over $4 billion. When everyone pays attention to "learn not to burn"...when the cost of fire decreases greatly in terms of human suffering and death...when fires no longer destroy vast numbers of homes, schools, churches, commercial and industrial properties..only then will Fire Prevention week move from being an observance to being a time of real celebration. The firemen of Company 1, McHenry , will host an open house Oct. 16, for the general public from 1 to 3.
