Not Every Hero Wears a Cape 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. In the event of a fire, do you have a plan to safely exit your home? Fire Prevention Week is October 6 to 12, 2019, and this year’s Fire Prevention Week theme, “Not Every Hero Wears a Cape. Plan and Practice Your Escape!” works to educate everyone about the small but important actions they can take to keep themselves and those around them safe. Visit www.firepreventionweek.org for fire safety tips and fun activities! For more information, contact the Fire Department at 660.665.3734!
