ABC Network PREVENTION IS THE BEST FIRE INSTANCE DESPITE growing interest in fire prevention education, not only among workers, housewives and oth er ndults, but also children, the United States last year had the worst record of loss of life and de struction of property by fire than ever before in its history, according to the National Fire Protection as sociation. In the Quarterly, just published by the association at its Boston headquarters, Percy Bugbee, general manager, said preliminary estimates of the fire loss for 1943 stand at $725,000,000 an increase of approx 'mately three per cent over the com parable 1947 estimate. This, he add ed, is the highest fire loss in dollars ever recorded in this country. 2G8 TIajor Fires in '48. Never before, according to a report of a staff study printed as part cf the publication, Ijas North America suffered so many single fires above the $250,000-mark. Not even in 1946 or 1947 were there as many sep arate fires involving property dam age of this magnitude, according to the printed report which said there were 187 major fires in 1946. 202 in 1947 and 2G3 in 1948. The total esti mated dollar loss from 1913's major fires is $141,497,000, the study showed 18 per cent cf the estimated aggre gate fire loss in the United States and Canada ($800,000,000). The study also showed, the re port saiJ. that the major fires of 1948, which caused less than one fifth of the total fire loss, repre sent about 40Cth of one per cent of the total number cf fires that occurred during the year! "Such fires can be prevented," Bugbee said, "by protection of ver tical and horizontal openings so that any area subject to a single fire is limited; Installation of automatic detection and extinguishing equip ment (such as automatic sprinklers) ; organization of industrial and mer cantile fire brigades, and s'reng and well-trained municipal fire depart ments."
