Posted on: December 12, 2018 - 8:25am

 We all understand that the holiday season can be busy and often hectic. Please take a moment to ensure that your family, friends and visitors are kept fire and life safe by looking over and checking these safety tips in your home. 
1. TEST SMOKE ALARMS If you did not change batteries on Nov 6th PLEASE take a moment to do so now. Remember smoke alarms have an expiration date and need to be replaced every 10 years. 
2. CARBON MONOXIDE ALARMS should be properly placed and working according to manufacturer’s directions. 
3. ESCAPE PLAN with TWO WAYS OUT OF EVERY ROOM is made, hanging in a central location and practiced with family members and visitors, especially those spending the night. 
4. Outdoor MEETING PLACE is established and understood by all. Should an alarm sound, GET OUT and STAY OUT. Close all doors behind you. Do not return for any reason. 
5. REVIEW the use of 9 - 1 - 1 should an emergency arise and help be needed. 
6. Traveling for the holidays?  No matter where you are staying be sure to take a moment and review escape plans and safety measures for that type of home/ occupancy. Keep your family SAFE this holiday season!
