This year’s theme is “Cooking Safety Starts with You. Pay Attention to Fire Prevention”.
Recognized across North America each year, Fire Prevention Week campaigns work to educate people about the simple but important actions they can take to keep themselves and those around them safe.
Safety Tips:
-
Make a home fire escape plan that includes two ways out of every room. Make sure everyone in your home is part of the plan.
-
Make an outside meeting place that is a safe distance from your home
-
Ensure all smoke alarms in your home are working
-
If the smoke alarm sounds, get out and stay out
-
Call 9-1-1 from outside your home
