Fire Prevention Month Tips For Omaha, NE

10/10/2018 (Permalink)

Remember to replace your smoke detector batteries this fall.

October is Fire Prevention Month and a great time to consider your fire preparedness plans.  Do you have a fire escape plan?  Have you changed your smoke alarm batteries in the last year?  Do you have a working fire extinguisher in your home?

This year's message from the National Fire Protection Association is:

"LOOK" for places fire could start.  Identify potential fire hazards around your home and take care of them.

"LISTEN" for the sound of the smoke alarm.  You might only have minutes to escape safely once the smoke alarm sounds.  Also have an outside meeting place a safe distance from your home.

"LEARN" two ways out of every room an make sure all exterior doors and windows are free of clutter and open easily.

If you or your family are affected by a disaster, such as fire damage or water damage, call the trusted professionals at SERVPRO of Sarpy County at 402-291-3355.  Our experienced crews are always here to help.
