Neediess to say, every week should be Fire Prevention Week. At
this time, however, I wish particularly to urge all reside'nts' of the
Station to do ':more than your part in heiping to ,make our community
.. -e. .safer 'place in which ta' work' and live. This you can do by particirating in the programs to be held during this iinportant week, by inspecting your premises for fire hazards and most of all, by teaching
your chitdreil·the p'rinciples of fire prevention. On the job, too, I am
'ilute you can contribute to safeI' '\vorking conditions by iooking for
":iirid eliminating fire hazards.
·
By"emphasizfng Fire Prevention Week we will all be reminded
tl18.t fire prevention is a year around job.

Fire and Children
Children playing with matches have run a close second to the carejess smoker in causing fires' iIi thfs' area.
·
The paSt fiscal year shows 11 fires caused by children playing _with
m'ltches at China Lake, and Ridgecrest Fire Department reports 8 fires
from the same cause.
Are your children ~afe from fire at home and at play?
'''I'm sure mO'st folks can answer 'yes,' " says Fire Chief A. C.
V{right. "Parents generally realize' that they can do a lot to keep fire
frofl.1 harming their youngsters."
For those porents who may have a few doubts, the Chief· has this.
'~pe~ial Fire Prev'enticll1 Week advice on child fire safety:
• Keep very young children-two and under-in sight and in mind
·aU the time. They need 100 percent protection from fire. .
\
o Teach older children the safe and proper uses of fire and thus
to respect it; remember that they learn best by your exafuple.
o Keep the children's home-your nome-free of fire hazards; your
'fire department is ready to help you spot those hazards.
• Know the right way to escape from any building in an emergency
'and train your children to be as ready and able to -do the same.
D
There's a quick and sure way to call the fire department; know·ing the right way before any sudden emergency can very well mean the
saving of precious seconds-and perhaps the life of a child.

\VHEREAS the increase in losses caused by fire during the past
year accentuate the need for increased care and greater emphasis on
fire-prevention practices by all our people:
NOW, THEREFIRE, I, D)VIGHT D. ;EISENHOWER, President of

October 6, 1957 as Fire Prevention Week:
,
I call upon our people to promote programs for the prevention and
~;ntrol of fire and I urge state and local governments, the American
National Red Cross, the Chamber of Commerce of the United States,
~nd business, labor, and firm organizations, as; well as schools, civic
groups, and public information agencies, to share actively in observing
Fire Prevention \Veek. I also direct the appropriate agencies of the
Federal Governmimt to assist in this national effort to reduce the loss
<if life and property resulting from fires.
