land note them on a standard check
psheet and leave a copy with the oc-
cupants. After the completion of
the inspection program a standar-
dized personal letter will be sent
to the head of each household ex-
plaining the fire hazards peculiar
to each type of housing unit" and
which are directly applicable to
them.
During the inspection the smoke
detectors will be tested and bat-
teries replaced. If a defective de-
tector is found it will be replaced.
Also at this time the "Invalid Mar-
king" program will be updated. Win-
dow stickers that indicate children
or invalids rooms will be installed
or relocated as necessary.
But why do we have to be bothered
^Lth this inconvenience, you may
Bk? Chief Eiriksson explained that
|rire incidents in dwellings have
shown the main reason for deaths and
injuries is the occupant's unfa-
miliarity with what to do in case of
fire. "If we were to note one de-
ficiency in a unit here which may
result in preventing a fire and un-
wanted death we then consider our
program most successful," he said.
Chief Eiriksson went on to de-
scribe the program, Operation EDITH,
(Exit Drill In The Home). "In an
attempt to avoid tragedies or a loss
of life here in Keflavik as part of
the home inspection program the
Naval Station Fire inspectors will
also deliver material to each house-
hold to enable the family to make
plans for the station-wide Operation
"EDITH" on October 21st," he said.
