NFPA Theme for Fire Prevention Week 2011: Protect Your Family From Fire
Thursday, July 14th, 2011

The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) announces the theme for Fire Prevention Week – Protect Your Family From Fire. Fire Prevention Week will be held October 9-15, 2011. NFPA has sponsored the fire prevention campaign since 1922, spreading awareness of the dangers of fires and inspiring individuals to prevent the deaths, injuries, and destruction they cause. This year’s theme focuses on how to protect your family from fire by planning ahead and integrating simple things into your everyday life.

Fires in the home take a great toll on life and property each year. During the five-year-period from 2005-2009, NFPA estimates that U.S. fire departments responded to an average of 373,900 reported home structure fires per year. These fires caused an estimated average of 2,650 civilian deaths, 12,890 civilian injuries, and $7.1 billion in direct property damage per year. Smoking materials remain the leading cause of home fire deaths, while cooking equipment is the leading cause of home structure fires and home fire injuries.

Installing systems such as smoke alarms and residential fire sprinklers, as well as identifying potential hazards, can reduce the risk of home fires and property loss, injury, or death due to fire. Nearly two-thirds of home structure fire deaths occur in homes where there was no smoke alarm, or where smoke alarms were present but failed to operate.

NFPA has taken the lead in public fire safety outreach by serving as the official sponsor of Fire Prevention Week for 89 years. The annual public awareness and safety commemoration, which is proclaimed by the President of the United States each year, is observed by fire departments in the U.S. and Canada to mark the anniversary of the Great Chicago Fire of 1871. According to the National Archives and Records Administration’s Library Information Center, Fire Prevention Week is the longest running public health and safety observance on record.

Visit the Fire Prevention Week website for safety tips, statistical information, and more. The materials are available for use by fire departments, teachers, families and anyone interested in learning or teaching about fire safety.

To fight kitchen blazes, cut off air
Monday, April 4th, 2011

Four out of five fire-related deaths among civilians occur in the home, according to the National Fire Protection Association.

Smoke alarms can alert you to a fire, and sprinklers can extinguish a blaze. Beyond that, fire extinguishers are a must.

If it’s small enough and you think you can put it out, “always make sure everyone is out of the house and at a safe distance,” says Heather Paul of State Farm Insurance.

Most home fires occur in the kitchen; unattended cooking is the leading cause. For any kitchen fire, turn off the heat.

For a grease fire or any pan fire on the stove, place a metal lid or plate over the fire to cut off the oxygen supply.

A fire extinguisher can handle a grease fire. Don’t use water; that only makes the fire spread.

If the fire is contained to the pot, bank the spray from the extinguisher off the back of the stove or the bottom of the microwave if it’s above the stove.

If the oil or grease has already spilled and the top of the oven is on fire, sweep the spray of the extinguisher at the base of the fire.

For a toaster fire, unplug the toaster and use an extinguisher. If a fire is in the oven or microwave, leave the door closed until the fire burns out.

Fire extinguishers are not created equal. Some are rated for fires involving paper, trash and cloth; some for fires involving flammable liquids; still others for electrical fires. Some are multipurpose — the best for homes.

Not sure what to buy? Visit a fire station or www.nfpa. org.

If Clothes Catch Fire, Stop, Drop, and Roll
Thursday, March 10th, 2011

All clothing can burn, although some fabrics burn more easily than others. If your clothing catches fire, STOP, DROP, and ROLL to put out the flames. Don¹t run, stand, or shake the part of your clothing that is on fire. This only fuels the fire with more oxygen and worsens the situation.

Instead, stop and drop to the floor or ground. Then roll or rock back and forth to smother the flames. Rolling helps reduce the fire’s oxygen supply. If possible, roll in a rug, blanket or coat to smother the fire faster.

When the fire is out, cool the burn with water and call the fire department. Do not remove the burned clothing if it is stuck to the skin. Keep the victim quiet and warm until help arrives.

Seconds count in any fire so, being able to put the fire out as quickly as possible is vital. Running in response to danger such as a fire is natural in all age groups, but is more common in younger children. Frightened children often run to find their parents or water, believing that it is the only way to put out a fire. By practicing the stop, drop, and roll procedure with your family, you can help increase the likelihood that they will be able to put it into practice when needed instead of running for help or water.

Most clothing fires are the result of careless accidents and can be prevented if you:

* Practice caution when using or working with heat sources or flames.
* Keep children away from heat sources such as candles, stoves, cigarettes, outdoor grills, matches, portable heaters etc.
* Don’t wear loose-fitting clothing or clothes with draping sleeves while cooking or near heat sources.
* Purchase flame-retardant clothing for children when possible.

Stop Drop and Roll

Heating Systems Spark Fires
Wednesday, October 20th, 2010

Be careful! Heating Systems Spark Fires

As the seasons change, the temperatures are turning colder and it will soon be time when we turn on our indoor heating systems. Heating system equipment failures are the second leading cause of home fires in the United States. According to the National Fire Protection Association, an estimated 66,400 home-heating fires occurred in the U.S. in 2007, resulting in 1,850 civilian injuries and $608 million in direct property damage. Common causes of space heating home fires include lack of regular cleaning, leading to creosote build-up in burning devices and associated chimneys and connectors, failing to give space heaters enough space by installing or placing them too close to combustibles, and fueling errors involving liquid- or gas- fueled heating equipment.

As the fall season is fast approaching, heating systems will be necessary to warm our homes. Use caution when using furnaces, heaters and wood burning devices and follow these safety tips.
•    Wood and coal stoves, fireplaces, chimneys, chimney connectors and all other solid-fueled heating equipment needs to be inspected annually by a professional and cleaned as often as the inspector indicates.  Creosote residue in the chimney caused by burning green wood or by the poor design of some wood-burning fireplaces can start fires which can spread rapidly.
•    When buying a new unit, make sure it carries the mark of an independent testing lab such as the Underwriters Laboratories (UL). Be sure that a qualified technician installs the unit or checks that the unit has been installed properly.
•    Install or place portable space heaters at least 3-feet from anything that can burn (newspaper, cloth, furniture) and always turn them off before leaving the room or going to sleep.
•    Never use gasoline or flammable liquids to start a fire or rekindle a small one in a fireplace because of the danger of fire spreading throughout the room and causing injury.
•    Use a sturdy fireplace screen to keep sparks from flying into the room. Allow ashes from the fireplace to cool completely before disposing of them in a tightly covered metal container, never in boxes or bags.
•    Portable kerosene heaters must be fueled only in a well-ventilated area, free of flame and other heat sources, and only when the device has cooled completely. Use only the type of kerosene specified by the manufacturer for that device, and never use gasoline instead of kerosene.

Fire Prevention Week Safety Night in Your Home
Tuesday, September 28th, 2010

Take some of the scare out of home emergencies by planning a Fire Prevention Safety Night in your own home. Your kids will get the information they need, and you can explore safety lessons together in a relaxed environment.

Many fire departments offer free safety information, so in addition to reviewing the ideas below, ask about ways you can keep your family safe. Then set aside a night to have fun and discuss safety.

Smoke detector check: If you don’t have smokd detectors, purchase them. If you do, determine whether the batteries are working. Make sure that everyone knows where the smoke detectors are located and how they sound.

Carbon Monoxide detectors are recommended for homes with gas-burning appliances. Make sure detectors work and your family knows how they sound.

Home escape plan. Draw a diagram of your home. Talk about reasons you would need to leave your house, such as a fire or gas leak. Have children draw all the ways to safely exit the house.

Outside location. Decide on a meeting place that is a safe distance from your house. Then practice exiting the house from different locations and meeting there.

Electrical problems. Take your family on a home tour. Look for overloaded electrical outlets and cords that run under rugs or show signs of wear. Contact a certified electrician if you locate wiring problems.

Combustible storage. Ensure that combustible material is not stored within three feet of any flame-producting appliance.

Inside location. Talk about reasons – such as an approaching tornado – you would need to find a safe place inside your house. Store blankets and bottle water there. Let family members draw routes on the home diagram from each room and practice meeting at this safe place.

Teach your family and Test your knowledge: Consider providing a Residential Home Fire Safety Course to your family. The Flashpoint curriculum will teach you what to do, what to prevent and what to avoid, as well as:

  • Increase families’ fire safety awareness through an effective web-based training program.
  • Teach parents, children, and other occupants of residential dwellings how to prevent fires and fire related injuries, and create a fire safe environment.
  • Enable families and other occupants to effectively create and use a fire plan.
  • Teach individuals to react correctly when a fire occurs.
  • Enable proficiency in inspecting available fire safety equipment.
  • End results: survival.

Go to www.nifast.org to learn more.

Conclude your family safety night by enjoying a treat to celebrate that you are all together and safe.

Fire Safety Reminders for College-Bound Students
Monday, August 23rd, 2010

Fire safety tips for college-bound students who are going to be living on or off campus.

Very shortly, many college students will be on their way to college. Some will be living on campus or in off-campus housing.  So, here are some safety tips that students should be aware of.  All students should review these tips and parents, please share these tips with your child before he or she heads off to college this year.

  • Have an escape plan. Learn where all the exits are to make a faster escape in a fire emergency.  On campus, there should be a plan in place already. If you don’t know what it is, the Public Safety Office should be able to tell you. If this information is not readily available or you are living off campus, take a few minutes to walk around and do your own pre-plan.
  • Know how to make a notification of a fire emergency .  Find out where alarm pull boxes are and what number to call to report a fire.
  • If the alarm sounds, leave immediately and close the door behind you. Remember to take your keys should you have to re-enter the room if your escape route is blocked with fire or smoke.
  • Don’t hang anything from sprinkler heads. This could disable or block the flow of water, which is necessary to help contain or extinguish flames.
  • Make sure there are working smoke detectors outside and inside your sleeping quarters. Test monthly. Never disable a smoke detector or the fire alarm. These are installed to give warning to you and your neighbors so you can quickly exit should smoke or fire be detected.
  • Only use fire extinguisher for emergencies. They are there for you to use should you have to put out a small, contained fire.  Don’t waste this equipment on a midnight water fight!  For an extra level of safety, keep an ABC extinguisher in your room and learn how to use it.  They are labeled with simple instructions.

Know how to escape:

  • If you have to escape through smoke, get low and get to the nearest exit. The cleanest air is close to the ground.
  • Before opening a door, feel the door with the back of your hand. If it’s hot, don’t open it. Find a second way out.
  • If you are trapped in your room, seal your door with towels, rags, or clothing so that smoke cannot enter from the hall.
  • Get out and stay out.  No textbook, homework assignment, laptop, cell phone or wallet is worth going back for.  You were lucky to get out safely once. You might not be as lucky a second time.
