     Heavy Fire Loss 
     
     iliuring 1948 
     
    
   
   
    
     While emphasizing the need o! 
     
     home owners and managers of 
     
     business premises carrying out 
     
     sell-inspection o! their premises 
     
     during Fire Prevention Week, Mr. 
     
     D. H. Saunders, Provincial Fire 
     
     Marshall, stated that it was also 
     
     very important that they at all 
     
     times keep in mind aids to tire 
     
     safety and be conscious ni’ the sut- 
     
     i‘ faring and loss that has occurred 
     
     I clue to this great hazard. 
     
    

    
     i As an exmaple Mr. Saunders 
     
     i pointed out that four lives were 
     
     i lost and $30i.274.6Z_damage was 
     
     suffered in the 289 iires that oc- 
     
     ‘curred in this Province during 
     
     i I948. - 
     
    

    
     Largest single loos was the 
     
     $53,000 blaze at Horton’! Cannery 
     
     Iwhile damage caused at Borden 
     
     i School amounted to $24,000. 
     
    

    
     In Charlottetown proper loss 
     
     ,amounted to $10,000 while Sum- 
     
     i merside Prince County capital had 
     
     damage amounting to $10,000. 
     
    
   
   
    
     Fires in dwellings, numbering 
     
     118 led to a $40,000 loss. 
     
    

    
     Farm properties were next in 
     
     line with 107 fires occurring with 
     
     damages amounting to the big to- 
     
     tal of $128,000. 
     
    

    
     There was one lire of incendiary 
     
     origin while investigations were 
     
     carried out in a number of other 
     
     CFISES. 
     
    

    
     Concluding Mr. Saunders stated 
     
     that the main cause of a great 
     
     many oi the tires was due to 
     
     carelessness In smoking while the 
     
     next cause in line was due to de- 
     
    
   
   
    
     tective and over-heated i’iues.
