🚒🔥 **FIRE PREVENTION WEEK RECAP — FIRE SAFETY STARTS AT HOME!** 🔥🚒
Last week, we recognized Fire Prevention Week, but here at the **Castleton–Maple Grove–Nashville Fire Department**, we want to remind everyone that fire safety doesn't end when the week is over.
Fire prevention is something we should practice every day to help protect our families, homes, and community.
🏠 **Here are some important fire safety reminders:**
🚨 **Smoke Alarms Save Lives!**
Install smoke alarms on every level of your home, inside each bedroom, and outside sleeping areas. Test them monthly.
🔥 **Practice Your Family Escape Plan!**
Know two ways out of every room when possible. Have a designated meeting place outside and practice your escape plan with your family.
🍳 **Stay Alert While Cooking!**
Unattended cooking is a leading cause of home fires. Stay in the kitchen when frying, grilling, or cooking with high heat.
🔌 **Be Smart with Electricity!**
Avoid overloading outlets and extension cords. Replace damaged electrical cords and keep space heaters at least three feet away from anything that can burn.
🧯 **Know What to Do in a Fire!**
Get out, stay out, and call 911. Never go back inside a burning building.
❤️ **A SPECIAL REMINDER TO PARENTS AND GRANDPARENTS:**
Take a few minutes to talk with your children and grandchildren about fire safety. Teaching them what to do during an emergency could save their lives.
**Fire Prevention Week may be over, but our commitment to keeping our communities safe continues 365 days a year!**
From all of us at the **Castleton–Maple Grove–Nashville Fire Department**, thank you for doing your part to keep our communities fire safe.
🚒 **PREVENTION TODAY CAN SAVE A LIFE TOMORROW!**
