Make sure you nave working smoke alarms on all levels of your home and in all sleeping areas. Test them once a month to make sure they are working. Plan and practice a home-escape plan. Have a designated meeting place outside. And if your smoke alarm sounds, or if you see fire or smoke, GET OUT and STAY OUT. Once you’re outside, resist the temptation to go back in to find something or someone. Leave the firefighting to the professionals.
With such messages, Rappahannock County firefighters work every day to make the public safer through education. Fire Prevention Week, now in its 81st year, is held tiie week in which Oct. 9 falls — to commemorate the Great Chicago Fire of Oct. 8-9, 1871. That fire killed more than 250 people, destroyed some 17,400 structures and left one homeless.
Everyone has a role in fire safety. Are your smoke alarms working? Do you have an escape plan? Are you ready to respond if the smoke alarm sounds? This is also a good time to replace the battery in your smoke alarms. Please join us in making Chester Gap and Rappahannock County a safer place to live.
