Protecting lives and property through fire prevention, 1914 style.
This historical report gathers inspection results, safety recommendations, and early 20th‑century fire codes from Indiana’s State Fire Marshal. It shows how officials pursued education, building checks, and enforcement to cut fire loss.
In clear, practical terms, the book explains what the department did over the calendar year 1914: thousands of inspections, numerous orders to improve housekeeping, venting, and wiring, and a strong push to remove dilapidated buildings and safeguard high‑risk venues like theaters. It also highlights the rising use of flammable liquids, the dangers of gasolene, and the push for better ignition prevention and emergency exits. The text blends statistics with stories of investigations and the rationale behind stricter enforcement.Les informations fournies dans la section « Synopsis » peuvent faire référence à une autre édition de ce titre.
