National Fire Prevention Week - October 3rd thru 9th
Many lives can be saved if people react immediately when a fire alarm sounds. Once a fire starts,there is no { k
time to develop a plan. The Fountain Hills Fire Department urges everyone to practice Exit Drills In The Home.
Draw a floor plan of your home marking two ways out(including windows)of every room. Discuss the best
escape routes with members of your household.
Agree on an outside meeting place by picking a spot in front of your home where everyone will meet after they
have escaped so you can count heads and tell the Fire Department if anyone is missing or trapped inside.
4-1* Make your exit drill realistic by pretending that some exits are blocked by fire and practice using alternative
escape routes. If you live in an apartment building,use stairways to escape. NEVER use an elevator during a
fire. If you live in a multi-story hourand must escape from an upper story window,be sure there is a safe way

/..„,,.... ehthdhfi fildd Smoke Alarms Save Lives! The majority of home fires that kill people happen during the night. If you are
asleep,the smell of smoke won't always wake you up. In fact,smoke and poisonous gases can put you into a
deeper sleep. Inexpensive home smoke alarms can wake you in time to escape cutting your chances of dying nearly in half.
Install at least one smoke alarm on every floor of your home,including basement,and bedrooms. On floors without bedrooms,
install alarms in or near dens, living rooms, family rooms, and other living areas. The National Fire Alarm Code does not
recommend installing alarms in kitchens,bathrooms,or garages.
Smoke rises,so mount alarms high on a wall or on the ceiling. Position wall-mounted alarms at least 4-inches away from the
nearest wall. In a room with a pitched ceiling,mount the alarm at or near the ceiling's highest point. Do not install a smoke alarm
near a window,door,or forced-air register where drafts could interfere with its operation.
