1945 US Poster Stamp Fight Fire And Help Your Country. Fire Prevention Week — October 7–13 Unused Hinge Marks 80% Original GumThis Poster Stamp Was Issued As Part Of A United States Fire Prevention Week Campaign Held From October 7 To 13, Most Likely In The Early 1940s, During The World War II Era. The Design Features A Heroic, Caped Male Figure Representing Civic Strength And Public Duty, Stepping Forward With The Words “Fire Prevention” Emblazoned On His Outstretched Banner. He Stands Over A Densely Built Townscape, Suggesting The Urgency Of Protecting American Communities From The Threat Of Fire. The Upper Text Reads “Fight Fire And Help Your Country,” Framing Fire Prevention As A Patriotic Act In A Time Of National Mobilization. The Use Of Bold Yellow And Brown Tones, Stylized Typography, And Art Deco Linework Reflects Wartime Poster Aesthetics. Fire Prevention Week Was First Recognized Nationally In 1925, But This Stamp’s Tone And Design Context Point Strongly To Circulation During The Early 1940s, When Domestic Civil Defense Messaging Was Heavily Promoted. Visible Text (Rewritten In Sentence Form): English: Fight Fire And Help Your Country. Fire Prevention Week — October 7–13.
