Fire safety is a top priority, and during Fire Prevention Week, we want to emphasize the importance of having a solid fire escape plan.

Here are some key tips to keep you and your loved ones safe:

Create a Fire Escape Plan:
Sit down with your family and discuss a fire escape plan.
Identify two ways out of every room, if possible.
Ensure everyone knows where to meet outside, at a safe distance from the home.

Practice, Practice, Practice:
Regularly conduct fire drills with your family.
Test smoke alarms to ensure they're working correctly.
Time how long it takes to escape – every second counts!

Stay Low and Go:
Teach family members to stay low to the ground where the air is less smoky during a fire.

Call 911:
Always call 911 from outside the home.
Let the professionals handle the fire.

Stay Out Once You're Out:
Never re-enter a burning building.
Wait for firefighters to arrive and handle the situation.

Be Prepared:
Keep pathways to exits clear.
Have fire extinguishers on hand and know how to use them safely.

Your family's safety is our priority, and a well-practiced fire escape plan is your best defense. Don't wait until it's too late—plan and practice today!
