Fire Safety

Fire safety education is the most important job that we have as firefighters.
Fire prevention is the most important job you have. The first step in surviving
a fire is to prevent it from happening. More people die in fires every year than in earthquakes, floods, hurricanes, and all other natural disasters combined!
Please take the time with your kids and teach them not to play with fire.

We also need to teach them what to do if a fire does happen like "Stop,
Drop, and Roll", how to use 911 to call for help, etc. Nearly 100,000 fires
are started every year by kids, start teaching them about fire safety early!
There are some excellent links at the bottom of this page that will help you
teach them while keeping them interested at the same time. You can also
use your favorite search engine and type in "Fire Prevention for Kids" and
find many more sites to assist your family.

As an adult, you also have a responsibility to make sure that
your home is safe. Do routine checks on electrical items, make
sure that your smoke detectors are working properly, have working batteries in them, and that you test your detectors every month and change your batteries twice per year.

Tips on making an emergency exit plan

	Draw a floor plan of your home. Mark at least two ways out of every room in the house, including windows.
	Discuss the escape routes with everyone in your house.
	Agree on a meeting place outside. Pick a place that is easy for everyone to remember. This is important so that you know if everyone is out of the house.
	Practice...practice...practice! Run fire drills at least twice per year, get good at it. Seconds count!
	Pretend that some of your exits are blocked by fire and practice using different escape routes. Use blind folds or turn the lights out to pretend that there is heavy smoke conditions. Make your drills as realistic as possible.
	If a fire occurs, immediately put your escape plan into action and try to alert everyone in the house.
	Always feel the door before you open it! If it is hot, the fire is probably on the other side and you'll need to find another way out.
	When escaping a fire, always stay as low to the ground as possible. The higher you get, the thicker the smoke will be.
	Call 911 after you get out. Never call while you are still inside.
	Once you are outside, never go back in for anything. This is the job of the Fire Department.
