Remember: Home fire escape planning and drills are an essential part of fire safety. A home fire escape plan needs to be developed and practiced before a fire strikes. Home fire escape planning should include the following:

-Drawing a map of each level of the home, showing all doors and windows.

-Going to each room and pointing to the two ways out.

-Making sure someone will help children, older adults, and people with disabilities wake up and get out.

-Teaching children how to escape on their own in case you cannot help them

-Establishing a meeting place outside and away from the home where everyone can meet after exiting.

Some sacrifices never make the evening news.
Some names are carried quietly in folded flags, old photographs, empty seats at cookouts, and stories families still can’t tell without their voice shaking.

At Dyer County 911, we spend our days answering calls when people are facing some of the hardest moments of their lives. Today reminds us that freedom itself came from people who answered a call too. One that asked everything of them.

This Memorial Day, we honor the men and women who never made it home, and the families who carry that weight every single day.

May we never become so busy living freely that we forget what it cost. 🇺🇸
