Fire Prevention Week

It is important to have a home fire escape plan that prepares your family to think fast and get out quickly when the smoke alarm sounds. What if your first escape route is blocked by smoke or flames? That's why having two ways out is such a key part of your plan.

This year’s theme,“Have 2 Ways Out!”, focuses on the importance of fire escape planning and practice.
