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.

West Hamblen would like to thank all of its fishing tournament sponsors. Today was very hot day but the fishermen braved the heat to make for a successful fishing tournament. There were fish that got lucky and got off the hook at the boat was the stories that were told and then there was the ones that wasn’t so lucky. There was also time for the firefighters to get in a little training.
