Fire-Safety Tips
	Always have a fire escape plan from your home that every member of the family knows and desinage a single place to meet. Go to a neighbor's house to call the fire deparmtent. Once you escape safely, never go back for anything. Have smoke detectors installed by sleeping areas and on each floor of your home as a minimum. It is also recommended one be placed by the laundry room and the furnace room. If battery operated, you should change your battery when there is a time change, or twice a year. Carbon monoxide (CO) detectors should be used in addition to smoke detectors if your home uses gas appliances or you heat with other than electricity. Follow the same guidelines as for smoke detectors. Always keep matches, lighters, fuels and other dangerous items away from children and stored in a safe place. Remember the best way to fight a fire is to prevent it!

	The department provides free public fire education, awareness and prevention sessions to our community. We provide annual training to surrounding daycares, grade schools, home school groups and civic clubs.
