Join the National Fire Protection Association and SERVPRO of Northern Las Vegas in celebrating the 100th anniversary of Fire Prevention Week(FPW) October 9-15, 2022. This year's FPW campaign, "Fire won't wait. Plan your escape", works to educate everyone about simple but important actions they can take to keep themselves and those around them safe from home fires. Today's homes burn faster than ever. You may have as little as two minutes (or even less time) to safely escape a home fire from the time the smoke alarm sounds. Your ability to get out of a home during a fire depends on early warning from smoke alarms and advanced planning. Creating, implementing, and practicing a fire escape plan for your home or business may be the difference between safety and tragedy. Make a plan today! It is important for everyone in your household to plan and practice a home fire escape. That way you will know what to do when the smoke alarm sounds. Given that every residential home is different, every home fire escape will also be different. Your fire escape plan should include special considerations for children, older adults, and people who require additional assistance getting up and out safely from a burning structure. In this issue of the Restoration Newsline, we will highlight several fire safety topics and tips, as well as helpful information on how you can create your own fire escape plan. Carve out some time this October during Fire Prevention Week to make sure you know how to stay safe in case of a home fire. SERVPRO of Northern Las Vegas franchise want you and your family to stay safe, informed, and prepared to help ensure you are ready for any fire disaster that comes your way.
