- Abstract
- This Bulletin tells how to lessen or avoid fire hazards on farms and thus add to the safety of both property and persons. It points out how an individual farmer can further reduce the probability of serious fire loses by using simple home equipment with which a fire in its beginning stage can be quickly put out. It points out the need for organized and well-equipped rural fire departments and tells how this need has been met in many rural communities. Such organized protection is necessary for farmers in order to hold the loss to a minimum whenever a fire gets a start.
