Fire Prevention Week 2018
Fire Prevention Week is October 7th -13th, 2018.
This year's theme is LOOK, LISTEN, LEARN. BE AWARE. FIRE CAN START ANYWHERE.
• “LOOK” for places fire could start. Take a good look around your home. Identify potential fire hazards and take care of them.
• “LISTEN” for the sound of the smoke alarm. You could have only minutes to escape safely once the smoke alarm sounds. Go to your outside meeting place, which should be a safe distance from the home and where everyone should know to meet.
• “LEARN” two ways out of every room. Make sure all doors and windows leading outside open easily and are free of clutter.
• Test your smoke alarms monthly. Make sure everyone knows the sound.
• Practice your home escape plan.
Please visit our Fire Prevention module for important fire safety information.
