PROVISION OF FIREGUARDS
Fireguards continue to be available on loan without charge to necessitous
households where there are children under twelve years of age, or elderly, handicapped or
blind people.
Forty-seven were issued during 1971, compared with 35 in 1970. Some of these
were of a type specially designed for use with oil heaters and others of nursery pattern
suited to meet circumstances in particular homes.
