B Y THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES
OF AMERICA
A PROCLAMATION

This Nations war program is menaced by an alarming increase in preventable fire losses. Since Pearl Harbor the de struction caused by fire in the United States has been comparable to the dam age caused by all enemy bombing over England during the first two years of the war. The loss to this Nation is just as real as if the destruction had been wrought by enemy bombers over Amer ica, or by saboteurs.
These preventable fires are being measured in thousands of workers killed and disabled; vast destruction of criti cal raw materials, food, and other vital supplies for our armed forces and civilian population; the ruin of war plants, fac tories, homes, and machineryin many cases for the duration of the war. Fires are bringing costly delays in the pro duction and transportation of airplanes, ships, tanks, and guns delays that mean a postponement of victory and the lives of many of our men on the fighting fronts.
Today it is vitally necessary that we prevent destructive fire. Every State in the Union shares this responsibility.
Every community must make an extra and thorough effort to detect and elim inate fire hazards. Only by this united endeavor can America guard her produc tive power against fire and eliminate a major hazard that threatens seriously to reduce supplies of war materials, food, clothing, and other essentials required by our fighting men overseas and by our civilians at home. The cause was never so clear; the need was never so great.
NOW, THEREFORE, I, FRANKLIN D.
ROOSEVELT, President of the United States of America, do hereby designate the week beginning October 3, 1943, as Fire Prevention Week. I earnestly re quest the people of the country to take unusually active measures during that
week, and throughout the year, to con serve our human and material resources from destruction by fire. I call upon State and local governments, the Cham ber of Commerce of the United States, the National Fire Waste Council, upon all business and labor organizations,.the pulpit, educators, civic groups, the press, the radio, and the motion-picture indus try to initiate programs that will vividly bring home to all our people the dangers of fire and the methods of controlling it.
Further, I direct the Office of Civilian Defense, the Department of Agriculture, the War Production Board, the protec tive services of the W ar and Navy De partments, and other appropriate Fed eral agencies to lend their active sup port and assistance to the attainment of these objectives.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have here unto set my hand and caused the seal of the United States of America to be affixed.
DONE at the City of Washington this 30th day of August, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and seal forty-three, and of the Inde pendence of the United States of America the one hundred and sixtyeighth.
