One of the most important programs any fire
company must plan for is educating our youth about the dangers of fire and
how to prevent tragedy.
Our fire prevention education program as
experienced tremendous growth in the last 5 years, Thanks to the
dedication of a few extremely committed individuals we now call on all
children in our 1st due area through grade three which attend public or
private schools and daycare centers.
In 2001 we were responsible for the
education of over 1200 children in the dangers of fire and how to handle an
emergency situation. In 2003 the number expanded to almost 2100
A very successful Smoke Detector campaign launched in 2000 has
distributed over 350 smoke detector to area residents. This program
continues to grow

Here are some Fire Safety tips from the
United States Fire Safety Administration.
Make sure everyone in your family knows and practices
escape routes from
every room in your home.
Remember to escape first, know how to notify the fire
department, and when to call for help.
Never open doors that are hot to the touch.
Teach your family to stop, drop to the ground and
roll if their clothes catch
fire.
Designate a meeting place outside. Try to make it a
location away from your home, but not necessarily across the
street.
Teach your family to never re-enter a burning
building. |
