2010:  Although October is Fire Prevention Month, fire safety should be practiced every day.  Home fires are America's biggest disaster threat. Our network of local chapters responds to approximately 170 home fires  every day!  By practicing fire safe living we can all help to reduce this number. A few 'quick tips' :  when setting your clocks back in early November, please replace your smoke detector battery; make sure your furnace is cleaned and inspected at the start of this heating season; be careful when using extension cords... read and follow directions; be extra careful when using electric space heaters...follow all instructions completely; determine at least two ways to escape from every room of your home and once out of your home...stay out !
