October and Fire Prevention Month! 

Fire Prevention Month is every October. During this month, take the time time to reevaluate your preparedness plans for your home and business. Pay close attention to your fire escape plan. Evaluate each room and determine if you have two exit strategies for each room. Ask yourself if a fire does start in your home or business, can you escape in two minutes? If not, then identify and remove obstacles that prevent you from doing so. Create, implement, and practice your fire escape plan for your home and business; it may be the difference between safety and tragedy! When surveyed, eight percent of people surveyed said getting out was their first thought after hearing a fire alarm. Practicing your escape plan can help you make the most of the short time you have to get out!
