Housewives can prevent fires by placing their cooking stoves securely
in position to avoid being knocked over by children, animals or the wind.
They must never refuel their stoves while still lit. "Always extinguish
the stove and allow it to cool down before fueling".
In factories, workers and supervisore should always keep their
equipment or machinery in good clean condition and prevent the overloading of
electrical circuits.
Inflammable goods must be placed well away from sources of fire or
flame and when not in use should be kept in a Dangerous Goods Store.
A fire appliance will be displayed in this year's Agricultural Show
next month where educational pamphlets on fire prevention will also be distributed
to the visitors.
Should any member of the community at any time have any queries or
require advice on fire prevention, they can ring the Fire Prevention Bureau
H-222101.
The Bureau's motto is: "Help us to Help You". Its service is free
and available 24 hours a day.
