October marks Fire Prevention Week. This year the theme is "Smoke Alarms: Make Them Work For You!" Occupants double their chances of survival during a house fire by having working smoke detectors in their homes. It is recommended that smoke detectors:
- Be tested monthly
- Batteries checked twice a year
- Have at least one detector per floor
- Install them on the ceiling or high on the wall
As in years past, members of the Indiana Fire Association will be visiting local elementary schools within our service area to provide fire education. These programs are vital to not only teach children what to do in the event of a fire or other emergency, but we also use this time to show them what firefighters look like with all our equipment on. This serves to show them that there is a person under all that gear and we aren't anything to be frightened of.
In addition to the schools, IFA members will be out and about throughout the month at various fire prevention events with gear and apparatus on display for everyone to explore.
