Fire Prevention Week

10/9/2017 (Permalink)

October 8th thru the 14th is Fire Prevention Week. It is the perfect time to review and make an exit plan.

"Every second counts: Plan 2 ways out!”

• Draw a map of your home and/or business and mark two exits from each room and a path outside from each exit.
• Practice your fire drill twice a year. Conduct one at night and one during the day. Practice using different ways out each time.
• Teach children how to escape on their own in case an adult cannot help them.
• Make sure the number of your home and/or business is clearly marked and easy for the fire department to find.
• Close doors behind you as you leave – this may slow the spread of smoke, heat, and fire.
• Once you get outside, stay outside! Never go back inside a burning building.

Remember, Rich Delfino and his team at SERVPRO of Patchogue are always here to help.
