Fire Prevention Starts Before We Do
Most of what we respond to is preventable. A few minutes now saves a great deal later.
- Test smoke alarms monthly and change batteries twice a year.
- Keep a clear path to two exits from every bedroom.
- Never leave cooking, candles, or a burn barrel unattended.
- Check with us before any open burning — conditions and bans change.
