Fire Prevention Week: October 7-13, 2018. by Siuslaw News

FIRE PREVENTION WEEK | SATURDAY, OCTOBER 6, 2018

About Fire Prevention Week Fire Prevention Week is observed each year during the week of October 9th in commemoration of the Great Chicago Fire, which began on October 8, 1871, and caused devastating damage. This horrific conflagration killed more than 250 people, left 100,000 homeless, destroyed more than 17,400 structures, and burned more than 2,000 acres of land. Since 1922, the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) has sponsored the public observance of Fire Prevention Week. In 1925, President Calvin Coolidge proclaimed Fire Prevention Week a national

observance, making it the longest-running public health observance in our country. This proclamation was sparked by the startling number of fire deaths that had accrued in the United States in1924, approximately 15,000 fire deaths, and the population was estimated at 114 million people. In the United States during 2017, there were 2,291 lives lost. The population was estimated at 325.7 million people. During Fire Prevention Week, children, adults, and teachers learn how to stay safe in case of a fire. Firefighters provide lifesaving public education in an effort to drastically decrease casualties caused by fires.

FIRE CHIEF’S MESSAGE Thank you for taking the time to learn about our Fire District and how to make your home safer. This year’s Fire Prevention Week Theme is Look, Listen, and Learn. LOOK for possible fire hazards in your home and eliminate them. LISTEN for your home’s smoke alarms. Know that you may have only minutes to get out if a fire breaks out. LEARN two ways out of each room of your home. Exits should be easy to access and free of clutter. After leaving the home, go to your family’s designated meeting spot, established when you set up a home fire escape plan. Taking the time to do these things helps your family prepare for and hopefully prevent a fire in your home. Last year our District responded to 495 calls for service that included fires, medical emergencies, and car accidents just to name a few. These emergencies were responded to by a dedicated team of professionals that consist of volunteers and paid

personnel. The majority of our workforce is made up of volunteers who drop everything when their pager goes off to help others in need. Our community is very lucky to have such a fine group of people so willing to give of themselves. The next time you see one of our Firefighters please thank them for all their hard work and dedication. This will be my last Fire Prevention Week message to the community and I want to thank you for all of the support you have shown our Firefighters and our District. Siuslaw Valley Fire and Rescue and Western Lane Ambulance are great organizations that have very bright futures and are lucky to call the Florence area their home. It has been an honor and pleasure to serve as your Chief.

MESSAGE FROM FIRE PREVENTION CAPTAIN TONY MILLER Another year has passed, and once again fire prevention week is upon us. Siuslaw Valley Fire & Rescue (SVFR) will continue with a very strong mission for fire prevention in our community. SVFR has several year-round fire prevention projects available to the public, free smoke alarm and CO detector installation, emergency address signs with installation, in home/business fire prevention evaluations, and wildland fire evaluations. All these projects are offered upon request. This year Siuslaw Valley Fire & Rescue is requesting everyone to Look. Listen. Learn. “What does that mean “Look. Listen. Learn.”? Today’s home fires burn faster than ever. 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. Knowing how to use that time wisely takes planning and practice. SVFR is teaming up with the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) the official sponsor of Fire Prevention Week™ for more than 90 years to promote this year’s Fire Prevention Week campaign, “Look. Listen. Learn. Be aware. Fire can happen anywhere™,” which works to educate the public about basic but essential ways to quickly and safely escape a home fire. NFPA statistics show that the number of U.S. home fires has been

steadily declining over the past few decades. However, the death rate per 1,000 home fires that are reported to fire departments was 10 percent higher in 2016 than in 1980. “These numbers show that while we have made significant progress in teaching people how to prevent fires from happening, there is still much more work to do in terms of educating the public about how to protect themselves in the event of one,” said Lorraine Carli, NFPA’s vice president of Outreach and Advocacy. This is particularly critical given the increased speed at which today’s home fires grow and spread. Carli also notes that although people feel safest in their home, it is also the place people are at greatest risk to fire, with four out of five U.S. fire deaths occurring at home. That over-confidence contributes to a complacency toward home escape planning and practice. Working in the fire service for many years, we know that people often make choices in fire situations that jeopardize their safety or even cost them their lives. We need to do a better job of teaching people about the potentially life-saving difference escape planning and practice can make and motivating them to action.

This year’s “Look. Listen. Learn.” campaign highlights three steps people can take to help quickly and safely escape a fire: • Look for places fire could start (stoves, heaters, candles, overloaded electrical outlets). • Listen for the sound of the smoke alarm or carbon monoxide detectors. Leave immediately! • Learn 2 ways out of every room. While NFPA and SVFR are focusing on home fires, these fire safety messages apply to virtually anywhere. Situational awareness is a skill people need to use wherever they go. No matter where you are, look for available exits. If the alarm system sounds, take it seriously and exit the building immediately. You can contact me directly for information or requesting any of the year-round projects available, by calling our office Monday– Friday 8:00 am-5:00 pm at 541-997-3212 or email me at tony@svfr. org

Draw a map of your home. Show all doors and windows.

Stay away from hot things. Don’t touch them.

Visit each room. Find two ways out. All windows and doors should open easily. You should be able to use them to get outside. Make sure your home has smoke alarms. Push the test button to make sure each alarm is working.

Listen for the sound of a smoke alarm. A smoke alarm goes BEEP, BEEP, BEEP.

Make sure your house or building number can be seen from the street.

BEE BEEP! P! BEEP!

Talk about your plan with everyone in your home. Learn the emergency phone number for your fire department. Practice your home fire drill! Make your own home fire escape plan using the grid provided on page 2. WINDOW
