Fire Prevention Safety Week

Posted on October 6, 2021October 6, 2021 by Staff Report

It’s Fire Prevention Safety week. And this year, the theme is “Learn the Sounds of Fire Safety” which focuses on educating children and adults about smoke alarms and carbon monoxide alarms and the life-saving sounds they make.

  1. For instance, a single chirp from your Carbon Monoxide (CO) alarm every 30 or 60 seconds means the battery is low and must be replaced. If your smoke alarm issues a continued set of three loud beeps it means smoke or fire. Get out, call 9-1-1, and stay out.
  2. Smoke alarms should be tested once a month, batteries should be replaced once a year, and
    the entire alarm should be replaced every 10 years.
  3. The SFMO recommends that every family make an escape plan that includes two ways out and practice it often. Make sure that children and those who may need extra assistance have someone to help them escape and set a location away from the home for everyone to meet in case of a fire.

“A working smoke alarm cuts your risk of dying in a fire in half,” said State Fire Marshal Mike Chaney. “Not having one, or many placed throughout the home, is simply unacceptable. If you need a smoke alarm, ask your local fire department.”

The Good News is that being informed and prepared can save lives, maybe yours.
