National Fire Prevention Week

Posted on by

October 8-14 is National Fire Prevention Week. Everyone needs to have an escape plan – Every second counts: Plan 2 Ways Out!

• Practice home fire drills twice a year. Conduct one at night and one during the day with everyone in your home and practice using different ways out.
• Teach children how to escape on their own in case you can’t help them.
• Make sure the number of your home is clearly marked and easy for the fire department to find.
• Close doors behind you as you leave – this may slow the spread of smoke, heat and fire.
• Once you get outside, stay outside. Never go back inside a burning building.Fire_know 2 ways out.png
