In case of a fire, it is best to keep your doors closed when you are sleeping.
  if there is a fire, smoke rises, so crawl to safety

Close The Door. Hit The Floor.

This picture is a good depiction of the importance of crawling low through smoke. While the wall has smoke staining all the way up and down, you can clearly see the worst is high near the ceiling.

Smoke is hot, so it rises to the ceiling first, leaving a survivable space near the floor. Sleep with bedroom doors closed, and crawl low through smoke.

Practice your escape plan with your family twice a year!

It is important to have a home fire escape plan when there are children in your home. Have a plan for young children who cannot get outside by themselves. Talk about who will help each child get out safely.

Just a reminder that if you shoot off fireworks do not pick them up and put them in your trashcan until the next day as there may be hot embers and could potentially catch your home on fire. Have a great 4th weekend

Shooting off fireworks is fun and exciting but also holds a responsibility to keep your property safe. After shooting your fireworks, it is important to remember to leave them on your driveway, concrete surface overnight and/or spray them down with a hose. DO NOT put them in a trash bag or trash can the same night as they are still really hot and have hot embers. Last year around 4th of July was very active for house fires. Let’s not duplicate that this year.
