STOP FIRES!
It in dull reading for a person not n the fire-fighting or in
surance business to study information oa fire prevention. To
the average individual his home and his place of work seem
secure from the ravages of fire
Nevertheless, the study and piaetice of fire prevention pays
off for every person in every walk of life
Fire losses in Alaska this ye^r have reached such proportions
as lo cause many insurance companies to withdraw from
the Territory
Many of these losses could have been avoided by determina
tion on the part of individuals to study fire prevention meth
ods and to do their best to eliminate hazards in their homes
and places of work.
Do your part and DON’T LET IT HAPPEN HERE
