buying a home, or checking
one you already own, look
for these points of good
construction suggested by
the National Fire Protection
Association:
1. Built-in fire stops.
These are barriers of wood
or' masonry 'between studs,
joists, rafters and strinoers
that serve to prevent the
spread of smoke and fire,
2. Solid doors for every
room. An ordinary wooden
door, when closed, can keep
smoke and fire out of a
room for ninny minutes,'
allowing oitra escape time.
3. Good escape routes.
Best exits loud directly
outside, not through other
rooms. Windows should be
large enough and low
enough to climb through
and operate easily enough
for the youngest member of
the family to open,
1, Walls. of low
flame-spread characteristics.
Plaster-surfaced walls and
gypsum, cement-asbestos and
other n o nc ombustible
wallboards will not spread
flame,
5. Fire-resistant roofing
material, such as asphalt
shingles, slate, asbestos or
metal. Wood shingles used
for roofing should be
factory-treated to make them
fire retardant,
8. Proper wiring. Qualified
electricians follow the
provisions of tlie Nattc
Electrical Code when
installing wiring, which
moans a fire safe installation.
7. A good heating plant
properly installed and
located, regularly inspected
and cleaned. A furnace
should never be located
where a heater fire could
block your escape.
