Synopsis

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.
What you’ll experience
  • A detailed view of early fire prevention work, from inspections to corrective orders
  • Insights into common hazards like rubbish piles, defective chimneys, and exposed wiring
  • Discussion of the rise of flammable liquids use and the push for safer storage
  • Examples of public education efforts and policy ideas for safer towns
Ideal for readers of public history, safety history, or state archives, and for anyone curious about how early fire‑prevention programs shaped local policy.
