Costly delays in detecting fires hit stores hard
NFPA records show ten million dollars was spent last year by large stores for failure to call the fire department promptly. Of 29 major store fires in 1953, 27 involved delayed detection, with average losses above 400000 dollars. NFPA urges watchmen and automatic protection to reduce losses and lists five major hazard classes.
