🎒🔥 Back-to-School Fire Safety

As the new school year begins next week, take a few minutes to make fire safety part of your family’s routine!

🏠 Review your home fire escape plan: Make sure everyone knows two ways out of every room and where to meet outside.
🚨 Test your smoke & CO alarms to make sure they’re working properly.
🚌 Talk about school bus safety: Stay alert around buses, follow the driver’s instructions, and never walk behind a bus.
👩‍🚒 Know what to do: Make sure children know how to call 911, what information to provide, and that they should never go back inside a burning building.

We hope everyone has a safe and successful school year!

🔥🎒Heading Back to Campus? Make Fire Safety a Priority

As college students return to campus, take a few minutes to make sure your living space is fire-safe:

• Make sure you can hear the building alarm system from your room.
• Test smoke and carbon monoxide alarms monthly and never disable them.
• Practice safe charging and follow your school’s rules for electrical appliances.
• Stay in the kitchen while cooking and only cook when you are alert.
• Know your building’s evacuation plan and practice fire drills. If you live off campus, have two ways out of every room.
• When an alarm sounds, get out quickly and stay out.

A few minutes of preparation can make all the difference. Start the semester smart and stay fire safe.

The Carrboro Fire-Rescue Department joins Eau Claire Fire Rescue and the entire fire service in mourning the loss of Firefighter Bryce Jungbluth.

Bryce served with our department from 2022 until returning home to Wisconsin to join Eau Claire Fire Rescue. He served the Carrboro community with dedication, compassion, and honor and was recognized as our 2024 Firefighter of the Year. He was a valued member of our department, a trusted friend, and will always remain part of the Carrboro Fire-Rescue family.

We extend our deepest condolences to his family, friends, and fellow firefighters.

Rest easy, Bryce. We’ll take it from here.
