Fire Prevention Week

Did You Know...

Fire Prevention Week is observed each year during the week of October 9th, in commemoration of the Great Chicago Fire.
Fire Prevention week will be held October 3-9, 2021.
The 2021 Fire Prevention week campaign is “Learn the Sound of Fire Safety!”
When an alarm makes noises - a beeping or chirping sound - you must take action!

A continuous set of three loud beeps - beep, beep, beep - means smoke or fire. Get out, call 9-1-1, and stay out.
A single chirp, every 30 or 60 seconds, means the battery is low and must be changed.
All smoke alarms must be replaced after 10 years.
Chirping that continues after the battery has been replaced, means the alarm is at the end of its life and the unit must be replaced.
Make sure your smoke and CO alarms meet the needs of all your family members, including those with sensory and/or physical disabilities.
