Hints to Prevent Fires From Safer Home Practices
Practical advice urges quality oil lamps and safe handling to avoid fires. Do not carry lamps, lift or set them carefully, and keep lamps away from table edges. Use candles where suitable, store matches in safe containers, and inspect furnaces and flues each fall and winter. Keep combustibles away from closets near chimneys and protect gaslights with curtains secured. Do not examine gas meters after dark.
