The 1957 theme, "Don't give fire a place to start"', should suggest an action program to farm families all ver Nebraska, an extension specialist in safety at the University of Nebraska says. By eliminating all fire hazards from homes, buildings, and land before the winter heating season many serious fires can be pre pre vented. The following safety precau tins can be applied by all farm families: . 1. Clean up all trash, weeds and lumber around buildings and the farmstead. They might pro vide the fuel for a serious fire. 2. Have the electrical system checked for overloaded circuits and damaged or inadequate wir ing. 3 Make a thorough check of the heating system, including heaters, chimneys, flues, and fuel supply lines to see that they ! are in good repair. 4. Observe the "No Smoking' rule in barns, machine shops, and other places where fires are easily started. 5. Plan with the family proce dures to be followed in the event that you do have a fire on the farm or in the home. A well developed plan may save a life. The time to act to prevent fires is before they happen. Moke a check of your place now. Don't Give Fires a Place to Start.
