Kitchen Oil Fire

October is Fire Prevention Month. Some things to ponder:

According to the U.S. Fire Administration, in 2006, fires killed more Americans than all natural disasters combined.
1.6 million fires were reported, but many others went unreported, causing additional injuries and property loss.
The direct property loss due to fires last year was estimated at $11.3 billion.
Test smoke alarms in accordance with manufacturer's instructions at least once a month using the test button.
Use care to prevent falls when using step stools and ladders to test a smoke alarm.
Make sure everyone in your home knows the sound of the smoke alarm and knows how to respond.
Replace all smoke alarms (including hard-wired) when they are 10 years old.
Sixty-five percent of home fire deaths result from fires in homes with no working smoke alarms.
Install a new battery in all smoke alarms at least once a year. Immediately install a new battery if an alarm "chirps," warning the battery is low.




I would like to remind everyone not to panic if there's a fire. The best thing to do is to stay calm, sound the alarm (Call 911) and close all windows and doors that do not lead to a fire escape route. I also stress the importance of having, knowing and educating your children and any guest on the location of your escape route and an assembly point in the event of a fire.
