Don't Forget to check Your Smoke Alarm Batteries

11/1/2017

Smoke Alarm
     Remember on November 5th, when you set your clock back an hour,  test your smoke alarm batteries, also. See, according to the NFPA, or the National Fire Protection Association, between 2009-2013, smoke alarms sounded in more than half (53%) of the home fires reported to U.S. fire departments. Three out of every five home fire deaths resulted from fires in homes with no smoke alarm (38%) or no working smoke alarm (21%).

House FireHouse Fire
     Research shows that 30 years ago, you had about 17 minutes to escape a house fire. Today it’s down to three to four minutes. Sometimes you may have as little as two minutes to get out. The reason: newer homes and the furniture inside them actually burn faster. And a lot faster. 
​

     In case you've never heard, there's also an old  saying, "Close Before you Doze." Closing bedroom doors before going to bed can also help keep extremely toxic smoke from entering the room as you sleep. And may increases the time you have to escape.

     Having a fire escape plan is another critical element to help protect yourself and your family during a house fire. But simply having a fire escape plan and knowing how to implement it are two separate things. So, once you’ve developed a fire escape plan for your home, it’s important for everyone to practice it. And for children, it can actually be fun to practice and can instill in them the importance of fire safety planning at a young age. Something they may take into adulthood with them.

​Tips for Creating and Practicing Your Escape Plan:
• Everyone in your household should know two
ways to escape from each room in your home.
• Decide where to meet once you get outside.
• If a fire starts, you may have just two minutes
to get to safety. So time your fire drills and
find out: what’s your escape time?
• Smoke is dangerous. Practice low crawling.
• Teach household members what to do if their
clothes catch fire: stop, drop and roll
