Sparsely Fired Waste Sparks National Conservation Drive
Fire waste in the United States and Canada ran to 284 million dollars in 1911 with January February 1912 losses at 64.3 million, far higher than a year earlier. If the US matched Europe’s fireproof standards, annual losses and prevention costs could fall to about 90 million. New York City spends 10 million yearly on extinguishment and 15 thousand on prevention. Chicago reports 1121 of 4234 fires caused by matches, with millions scratched daily and thousands killed or injured annually. Insurance capital relative to liabilities has declined, while retained capital rose slowly since 1870.
