HOUSE FIRES

House Fire Prevention and Escape Planing

We are going to focus on two primary aspects, House Fire Prevention and Escape Planing.  Your first line of fire protection for your home and family is smoke detectors.  Smoke detectors a nd carbon monoxide alarms, should be mounted just outside the kitchen, in the hallways, in every bedroom, on every level of your home and they should be tested regularly. 

Somewhere in the U.S. a Fire Department responds to a house fire every 24 seconds.
