| Nothing More Important Than Fire Prevention Earnest was the message today ,e to every home in Haileybury from Fire Chief Ken Watson on the eve of Fire Prevention Week. "There's nothing more import- ant than the fire safety of the household. Every family can. help by making its own check of dan- ger spots. Or the fire department will gladly and freely help with puggestions."' The Chief was speaking in sup- port of the nation-wide education- ; al campaign sponsored by the As- sociation of Canadian Fire Marsh- als and the Ganadian Association of Fire Chiefs to publicize and "root out'? the. common hazards which give fire a place to start especially in the home. Fire dam- age to homes. in Canada, he said, totalled more than $20 million a year. "This is shocking and appall- ing," the Chief declared, "As is the shameful. fact that Canada's fire loss, per head of population, is one of the highest in the world today. The hopeful factor in get- ting rid:of the blot-is that most fires are caused by human care- lessness. and neglect. And it's in the home that, we learn the les- sons."' Experience threughout the con- tinent, the Chief said, had shown that a programme: of voluntary home inspection throughout the entire year was. the answer. Lo cally, it was most encouraging to report increasing public co-oper- ation, the' Chief said, pointing out that of course under -- provincial law he was empowered to enter and inspect any home. However, any family could help by remedying its own shortcom- ings. and as -2xamples of '"'fire- bug"' spots in. the: average dwell- ing, Chief.
