For those who want to check their own out ๐Ÿ‘€, here is a handy checklist, adapted from National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), to make sure they're in top-notch shape:

๐Ÿงฐ Gather Supplies: Get fresh batteries, a trusty flashlight, and a sturdy ladder if needed.
๐Ÿ”Š Test Each Alarm: Push that "test" button and listen for a loud and clear alarm. If it's not up to par, swap those batteries pronto!
๐Ÿ”‹ Replace Batteries: Weak alarms? New batteries to the rescue! Opt for long-lasting lithium for less fuss.
๐Ÿ‘€ Check for Damage: Examine for cracks or odd colors. If you spot issues, retire the alarm.
๐Ÿ“– Review the Manual: Ensure you follow the manufacturer's guidance for testing and care.
๐Ÿ—“๏ธ Date Labels: Check for freshness! Older alarms? Time for an upgrade.
๐Ÿ“… Regular Testing: Monthly checks keep you safe and sound.
๐Ÿš€ Emergency Escape Plan: Review escape routes and meeting spots. Safety is a team effort!

Fire is a serious public safety concern โ€” especially at home, where people are at the most significant risk from fire. Cooking causes about 40% of home fires in the kitchen, and nearly a third of them are caused by unattended cooking.

(Prevention pro tips: turn pot handles toward the back of the stove; always keep a lid nearby when cooking; keep a three-foot kid-free zone around the stove, oven, and other appliances that could get hot; watch what they heat; and set a timer to remind them that they are cooking.)

Tonight, Mayor Catherine Read has proclaimed October 8-14, 2023, as . City of Fairfax Fire Department Chief John O'Neal received the proclamation.

Fire Department and Fairfax Volunteer Fire Department are dedicated to reducing home fires and home fire injuries through prevention and education. The departments regularly hold safety classes; visit fairfaxva.gov/fire for more information. Also, stop by the fire department's Open House at Fire Station 3 during Saturday's Fall Festival, which will feature activities and information for visitors of all ages.

What can you do to make your home safer? Chief Oโ€™Neal encourages cooks to, in the spirit of Tammy Wynette, โ€œStand by Your Pan.โ€ Also, maintain smoke alarms in your home โ€“ the city fire department provides and installs free alarms for city residents (fairfaxva.gov, search โ€œsmoke alarmsโ€). Plan and practice your householdโ€™s home fire escape plan. Keep an extinguisher and other fire suppression tools handy โ€” but never risk your own health and safety by fighting a fire.

Fire Prevention Week is observed each year during the week of October 9th in commemoration of the Great Chicago Fire, which began on October 8, 1871, and caused devastating damage. This horrific conflagration killed over 250 people, left 100,000 homeless, destroyed more than 17,400 structures, and burned over 2,000 acres of land (NFPA, 2023).

Let's honor this history by raising awareness about fire safety and prevention in our communities. Together, we can make sure history doesn't repeat itself! ๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿš’
