Home Fire Prevention
Fire safety and survival begin with everyone in your household being prepared.
Have working smoke alarms installed on every level of your home, test them monthly and keep them clean and equipped with fresh batteries at all times. Smoke alarms can prevent home fire fatalities by providing an early warning signal so you and your family can escape. Know when and how to call for help. And remember to practice your home escape plan! Learn more about Smoke Alarms...

Safety For Smokers

Check out this fire safety brochure with information to keep smokers, and those who live with smokers, safe from home fires caused by smoking materials:
Juvenile Firesetting
Juvenile firesetting is not a fire problem, it is a kid problem.
Children playing with fire cause hundreds of deaths and thousands
of injuries each year. Prevent curiosity firesetting by providing
fire and safety education for children.
