Omaha Has Chance to
Lower Personal and
Property Fire Loss
With 2,100 Civilian Defense fire
guards trained and equipped with
hand pump fire extinguishers for
use in their neighborhoods, Omaha
has a good opportunity to lower its
1943 record of 19 deaths and pro
perty loss caused by fires, Harry
O. Owen, chief fire guard, pointed
out Saturday.
“In the first two months of this
year, there has been but one death
from fire in Omaha as compared
with 5 in thg same period last
year,” Owen said. “With the com
pletion of our OCD fire guard or
ganization in every school district
we hope to save many lives and
mu'eh property loss from fires
This can- be done not only through
prompt action on the part of the
fire guards in putting out small
fires in their neighborhoods before
they spread, but also in promoting
home safety fire rules.”
Owen has prepared a bulletin to
be issued to all OCD fire guards
in the city with the request that
they pass this information on to
the residents of their neighbor
hoods. The bulletin lists 17 fire
safety ‘ don’t” for the prevention
of fires. They are:
Don’t let rubbish accumulate in
attics or basement
Don’t hang electric cords on
nails.
Don’t leave electric irons unat
tended.
Don’t leave curtains free to blow
