Fire Prevention Week logo

The theme this year is, “Fire won’t wait. Plan your escape!” The focus is to educate everyone about the importance of having an escape plan at home. Knowing what to do when an alarm sounds and how to get out quickly qill keep you and your family safe.

Did you know?

In a typical home fire, you may have as little as one to two minutes to escape safely from the time the smoke alarm sounds. Escape planning and practice can help you make the most of the time you have, giving everyone enough time to get out.

Plan ahead for your escape. Make your home escape plan and practice today.

Be a hero

How do you define a hero? Is it… a person who is courageous and performs good deeds? Someone who comes to the aid of others, even at personal risk?

A hero can be all of those things. A hero can also be… someone who takes small, but important actions to keep themselves and those around them safe from fire. When it comes to fire safety, maybe you’re already a hero in your household or community. If not, maybe you’re feeling inspired to become one. It’s easy to take that first step – make your home escape plan!
