Basic Fire Safety

As we begin Autumn of 2020; much has changed in our country and much of the change has centered around safety. COVID-19 and its effects have taken over our lives and have been our primary concern as a people and a nation. However, the COVID pandemic should remind us that there are many other dangers in our lives that we may be able to control.  Basic Fire Prevention and Safety Tips are one such topic which over the years have proven to save lives and increase public safety. Below we offer some of the most basic tips and encourage all of you to learn more about fire safety.

Top Tips for Fire Safety

1. Install smoke alarms on every level of your home, inside bedrooms and outside sleeping areas. Radon and Carbon Monoxide detectors can also add safety to your home and are also very easy to install.
2. Test smoke alarms every month. ... If you are like me – once that detector is changed – I rarely give it another thought. Take the time and check them every six months.
3. Talk with all family members about a fire escape planand practice the plan twice a year. This is not just for discussion – it should be in writing where all have access and should be updated.
4. If a fire occurs in your home, GET OUT, STAY OUT and CALL FOR HELP.
5. Most fire deaths occur after someone re-enters a burning building.
