"Half of all fires in the nation occur in homes,‘" Chief Stanley said. "When you stop to think that over, then you realize hcow important it is to wipe out the fire hazards. But even more disturbing is the fact that fire attacks a home in Canada and the United States every 80 seconds, and one out of 75 homes is burned to the ground or â€"damaged by fire each year."
