The Consumer Alert
AUSTIN —Three-quarters
of a million residential fires
will occur throughout the
nation this y'ear, with 300,000
Americans to be injured, and
8,000 of those dying. Property
damage will range in the
billions of dollars for all fires.
But you can minimize the
chances for injury or
property loss by fire, say our
Consumer Protection Division
lawyers.
Experts recommend the
following steps. One is to be
sure all members of your
family know exactly what to
do in case a fire breaks out.
You should have regular drills
with escape routes planned in
advance, preferably ways that
don’t involve opening bedroom
doors. Fire experts rec- .
ommend sleeping with closed
bedroom doors, because a
closed door can hold back heat
and poisonous gasses, giving
more escape time. If you
suspect fire, never open a door
to check. Instead, touch the
door frame with your hand. If
it’s hot, leave it closed, and use
another way to get out of the
room.
Always get out of the house
as quickly as possible, never
stopping to look for papers or
other valuables. Arrange for
family members to meet at a
certain location in the yard.
Call the fire department from
a neighbor’s, and never go
back into a burning home/or
am/thiHif—not even family
pets, fire safety officials urge.
It goes without saying that
you should guard against
three classic examples of
carelessness that can multiply
your chances of fire losses:
smoking in bed, cleaning with
gasoline or other flammable
liquids, and leaving children
alone at home.
You can also reduce risks of
home fires by installing
detection devices that can
warn you of fire dangers.
There are two types of home
detection devices marketed—
heat detectors and smoke
detectors. Heat detectors
alone have been found to be
essentially useless for homes.
That’s because most home
fires may smoke and smolder
for quite a while before
building up enough heat to
trigger the alarm, sending out
smoke and gasses that can
overcome you and your
sleeping family. Ideally, a
home would have a smoke
detector between sleeping
areas of the house, providing
protection against both
rapidly developing high heat
fires and slow smoldering
ones.
However, if cost precludes
such a combination detection
system, the best protection for
most home fires, according to
safety experts, is a smoke
detector. There are two basic
kinds of smoke detectors:
ionization models and
photocell, or photoelectric,
models. In photoelectric
models, a small electric light
bulb shines on a photosensitive
cell. If smoke from a fire
interrupts the light beam, the
alarm goes off.
Ionization models contain a
very small radioactive source
that gives light inside the unit
enough electrical charge to
complete a circuit. If smoke
particles break the circuit, the
alarm is set off.
There are advantages to
each type, and it’s a good idea
to check with your local fire
department to find out the
pro’s and con’s of the devices.
Then shop for smoke detectors
as for any other consumer
product: get brochures on
different brands, then
comparison shop for quality,
features, price, warranty,
installation, and maintenance.
Be sure the unit you select can
be tested monthly by blowing
-------------------------1
smoke at it. or by lighting a
match nearby. Also, make
sure the device won’t give false
alarms every time you start a
fire in the fireplace or broil
steaks in the kitchen. And
don’t buy from a door-to-door
salesperson until you have
comparison-shopped at local
stores. Remember, too, that
you can cancel a door-to-door
sale for $25 or more within
three business days.

Marriage Can Be Lonely
Marriage can sometimes
be very lonely. According to
most experts, loneliness in
marriage usually begins
with an inability to com-
municate. If every comment
brings a complaint, argu-
ment or a grunt, people will
stop trying to talk to each
other. Anger and irritation
with a spouse are considered
normal. But there are ways
of handling these feelings
so they will not destroy com-
munication within a mar-
riage. Complaints and diffi-
culties should be discussed,
not just kept bottled up in-
side. Anger should be ex-
pressed frankly with no
attacking of the other
person’s character. Anger
should be at an issue, not at
the personality involved.
Also, when quarreling
— fight fairly. Avoid over-
stating conditions or exag-
gerating blame. Keep to
the main issue and don’t
bring others into the fray.
Anger and humor — believe
it or not — are closely re-
lated; things that make us
mad can also make us
laugh. Keep in mind that
a little humor can do won-
ders to sooth hard feelings.
Finally, it is not a defeat
to seek outside help in
smoothing out a rough
marriage. It is an admission
that the marriage is wor^th
saving.
