worst record of loss of life and
struction of property by Are than
ever before tnjts history, according
- w ‘the
sociatlon.
In the Quarterly. Just published
by the association at its
headquarters, Percy Bugbee, general
manager, said preliminary estimates
of the Are loss for 1948 stand at
$725,000,000—an Increase of approx-
imately thrSSe per cent over the com-
parable 1947 estimate. This, he add-
ed. Is the highest Are loss In dollars
ever recorded In this country...
268 Major fire* In ’48.
Never before, according to a report
of a stall study printed as part of
the publication, has North America
suffered so many single fires above
the $250,000-mark. Not even In
1946 or 1947 were there'as many sep-
arate" fires Involving property dam-
age of this magnitude, according a
the prtnted report Which said there
were 187 major fires In 1946, 202 In*
1947 and 268 In 1948. The total esti-
mated dollar loss from 1948’s major
fires is $141,497,000, the study showed
18 per cent qf the estimated aggre-
gate fire loss* In the United States
and Canada ($800,000,000).
The study also showed, the re-
port said, that the major Ares of
1348, which caused less than one-
fifth of the total fire loss, repre-
sent about 400th of one per cent
of the total number of fires that
occurred during the year!
‘‘Such fires can be prevented,”
Bugbee said, “by protection of ver-
tical and horizontal openings so that,
any area subject to a single fire Is
limited; installation of automatic
detection and extinguishing equip-
ment (such as automatic sprinklers);
organization of Industrial and mer-
cantile fire brigades, and strong and
well-trained municipal •fire’ depart-
ments.”
Four Major Causes.
Apiong the major causes of fires
described in the Quarterly, are these:
1. Inadequate or obsolete building
codes A recent survey by the Na-
tional Bureau r* -standards covering

fire loss In the United States and Canada ($800,000,000). Never before
has North America suffered so many fires above the $250,000-mark.
3,640 municipalities shows that 990
have no code whatever, 691 have
codes 20 years old or older and only
574 have codes adopted within the
last five years.
2. Lack of enough exits and
fire escapes, especially in large
department stores, sufficient to
permit rapid evacuation. Panic is
not likely to develop where there
are convenient and safe means
of escape. It is a curious anach-
ronism that theaters are so folly
regulated and that most large
department stores, which Jeo-
pardize more -people, have gone
relatively unnoticed in the estab-
lishment of safeguards against
loss of life by fire.
3. Resentment of fire regulations
and refusal to comply, which hamp-
to
er efforts to protect the -pi
against the hazards of fire by legal
action.
4. Smoking in bed. Some hotels
have little placards’ posted In each
room, Instructing “guests preparing
to smoke In bed (1) call the office
and notify the management where
you wish the remains sent, (2) notify
guests in adjoining rooms of your
intention of endangering their lives
sq they may take necessary precau-
tions to protect themselves and (3)
sit down and think how foolish it is
for you to take this risk.”
