🔔🔥 When there is a fire, smoke spreads fast. It can also be thick, dark, poisonous & impossible to see where you’re going. Working smoke alarms give you early warning so you can get outside to safety. Act quickly when you hear them beep! #EPWeek2022

During a fire, leave the building as quickly as possible. Once you're safely outside, stay outside & call 9-1-1 or your local emergency number to report the fire. #FirePrevention

Did you know that @NFPA has developed the "Keeping Your Community Safe & Warm" toolkit to teach people how to stay safe while keeping warm in the winter months? Check it out at ow.ly/5Z4R50GKYsz
