Fire Prevention Week Observance Calls For Public Action
Fire Prevention Week runs October 4 to 10, 1936, by presidential proclamation since 1922. The initiative stresses fire prevention to stop fires before they start and fire protection to reduce damage if fires occur, urging safer construction, hazardous-material handling, and efficient fire departments. It notes the far reaching costs of fires to homes, insurers, manufacturers, and communities, with examples from the 1871 Chicago Fire and more recent Ellsworth and Auburn losses.
