Fire prevention urged during National Week of safety
The article notes that 1924 saw over half a billion dollars in property lost to fires. It calls for federal and local action, including building codes, trash disposal reform, banned shingle roofs, proper flues, and a modern wire code, to reduce fire hazards and save resources. It stresses prevention over tax cuts, arguing fire losses are irretrievable while taxes circulate. It urges a coordinated effort like Paris’s historic mobilization to spur change.
