Co-Operation of Ogden Citizens For Fire
Prevention Is Urged by Fire Chief Graves
Tomorrow. Otohcr o, is the anniversary oj the great fire i:i Chicago which swept that great
center and practical!) wiped it out. Chicago vvas rebuilt but the loss tiiat was occasioned bv that
fire has always been keenly felt and today Chicago's fire stands as one of the terrible events oi
I American history. This day has hcen adopted .is Fire Prevention day throughout the entin
nation. It is observed b) all up-to-date fire departments. In. Utah, the day has hcen set a-i
by proclamation of the governor . ill Ogden it h;is hcen specially designated by the mayor with the
whole-hearted approval of the entire city government.
More attention is pai l to this day in the west than in the cast, primarily because the cast has
become accustomed to continuous cleanups as lire prevention measures. In fact, they have reached
near perfection The same system followed in the west will bring continued decrease in fire
losses. One of the objects of the strong fire prevention movement in the ivesf is to develop tliC
spirit of daily cleanups, thereby keeping the city clean all of the time a bettered gcncial condition
and one that means material benefit a;- well.
Thomas II Ince.of the luce Motion 1'icturc i mi). .on in California, has offered a prize for the
western city making the best shewing for the Jjpar. The city of Ogden is entered in this contesl
Our system of inspections, with the assistance o the hoy sCputs who have fire badges presented,
by the municipality, is of material assistance in tin- campaign .mil we are making a good showing.
Last car we had 254 alarms from January 1 t. I Ictolicr I. JJlis year we had 120 alarms to October
1 and cur losses have been very small. The month of September this year we had only nin
, alarms, the smallest number for any month in the psfst fixe years.
Properly owners in the United States arc becoming better acquainted each year with Fire
Prevention day and its origin and p. rposc. Hut do they avail themselves of the knowledge ami piu
into practice the lessons which the day is supposed to teach? Unapplied knowledge is useless
I lands and ev es that do not co-ordinate in the removal Of fire hazards arc Worthless, so far as fire
prevention is concerned.
The greater number of our fires arc caused by carelessness and we urge the people of this city j
j to develop a sentiment of personal responsibility toward the elimination of preventable fires and in
favor of fire prevention. The instruction of all the people of Our city in 'tire prevention is a very I
large order for the 23 men of the Ogden city fire department. But by keeping constantly at it
we are gaining every year and We ak every citizen to help us in our work. Jt means the saving
Of homes, of business blocks, of factories, ,,r public institutions, a saving that will be of benefit to

MAYOR'S PROCLAMATION
Whereas, a large percentage of the fires causing great
waste may be easily prevented by increased care and vigi
i lance on the part of our citizens;
Therefore. I, Frank Francis, mayor of Ogden, do desig
nate and set apart Saturday, October 9, as Fire Prevention
Day, and request the citizens of this city to plan for that day
such instructive and educational exercises as shall bring be
fore the people the serious effects of the fire waste and the
need of their individual and collective efforts in conserving
4our lesources. I especially urge the schools to observe the
day with fitting programs
In witness whereof I have hereunto set my hand and
caused the seal of the City of Ogden to be affixed.'
