Fire Safety:
Did you know that if a fire starts in your home you may have as little as two minutes to escape? During a fire, early warning from a working smoke alarm plus a fire escape plan that has been practiced regularly can save lives. Learn what else to do to keep your loved ones safe!
Top Tips for Fire Safety:
Install smoke alarms on every level of your home, inside bedrooms and outside sleeping areas.
Test smoke alarms every month. If they’re not working, change the batteries.
Talk with all family members about a fire escape plan and practice the plan twice a year.
If a fire occurs in your home, GET OUT, STAY OUT and CALL FOR HELP. Never go back inside for anything or anyone.
House Numbers:
Can we see your house numbers? This is key for quick location in an emergency:
If your house is less than 50 feet from the road, the number should be visible for approaching vehicles
If your house if more than 50 feet from the road, the number should be displayed next to the drive leading to the residence
The numbers should be at least 4 inches high, reflectorized, and in contrasting color to the background they are on
Numbers should be between 42 inches and 72 inches above the ground
Please remove any numbers that are not in accordance with the rules above
