Fires in'the Province last year took two lives and caused pro- perty damage of 5725,89-i. Provin- cial Fire Marshal, T. A. Camp- bell, announced on the eve of Fire Prevention Week which be- gins tomorrow and ends October 11.

Losing their lives in one 01 the 353 fires were Mrs. Gordon Rob- bins and her baby son, Haldane of Midgell when a flash ilre de- stroyed thelr home.

The tire loss was extremely high, Mr. Campbell said. due to the large loss oi property in the Rankine McLaine fire, which. with adjoining buildings caused damage estimated at approximate- ly 3i35(l.000.
