National Fire Prevention Week October 4 - October 10.
This year’s campaign is “Hear the Beep Where You Sleep. Every Bedroom Needs a Working Smoke Alarm." This ideal stresses the importance of having working smoke alarms in every bedroom, outside each sleeping area, and on every level of the home, including the basement.
Did you know that roughly half of home fire deaths result from fires reported between 11 p.m. and 7 a.m., when most people are asleep? Smoke alarms save lives. If there is a fire in your home, smoke spreads fast and you need smoke alarms to give you time to get out.
