FAMILY FIRE ESCAPE PLAN
While the children are at home for the holidays and the extended time off from school during the Covid-19 suspension of at-school learning, it creates an ideal opportunity for families to practice their Family Fire Escape Plan. During this time, families should practice at least 2 ways of escaping from their home, establish an outside meeting place, and have practice drills in the daytime and evening.

FIRE ALARM CHECK
As the long weekend approaches, we would like to remind everyone to replace the battery in your smoke alarm and CO alarm, if you have one. You can also use the long weekend as an annual reminder. Please also check your the manufacturers date on your alarm to determine if it needs to be replaced. Smoke alarms should be replaced every 10 years, CO alarms every 5 years, and combination smoke and CO alarms every 10 years. Download the following PDF for more info. Smoke Alarms At Home
