It is easier to pre- vent a fire than to put one out, once it is started. Twenty-eight per cent of all fires are caused by matches and smoking, the National Board of Fire Underwriters discovered when it had completed a survey of fire causes over a ten-year period. The next large « s of fires are faulty chimneys, stoves and furnace accounted for more than 20 per cent. Misuse of nable fluids rates more than 15 per cent.

Somewhere in the United States a fire breaks out every 20 seconds, right around the clock. Every year 11,000 Americans die by fire and more than twice that many are burned or disfigured for life. At the current rate of burning, over $2,000,000 worth of property “go up in smoke” each and every day in the year.
