Mbiiods of Fire Prevention Should Be

In bygone days the function of the
vhief of a lire department was merely
to put out tires. Nowadays his duty
is. to prevent them.
Originally a fireman's work was de
fensive. Now it is also oll'ensive. It
attacks the cause.
Most firs are preventable. Individ
ual carelessness is the chief cause.
I.'dueation of the public even involv
ing punitive measures is the remedy.

of lires is iirst to jret rid of things that
