Fire safety is important, especially as we enter the colder months! 🚒

During Fire Prevention Week, we encourage families to stay prepared with these simple tips:

☑️ Designate a meeting place outside your home where everyone will gather
☑️ Teach children to crawl low under smoke
☑️ Make sure all exits and pathways are clear of clutter
☑️ Have fire extinguishers in key locations like the kitchen
☑️ Close bedroom doors at night to slow fire spread
