Fire Prevention Week Tip Number 6 is centered around generator safety!

When severe weather strikes, generators can be a lifesaver. They keep our lights on, refrigerators running, and essential equipment powered. But when used incorrectly, they can quickly turn a bad situation into a deadly one. A few things to remember in the event of another storm are as follows:

đź“ŹKeep it ventilated and outside! Keep them at least 20 feet away from your home with the exhaust blowing away from doors and windows.

🔥Let it cool before refueling. Never add fuel to a hot or running generator. Spilled fuel can ignite.

🔌Never plug a generator into a household wall outlet. Improper connections can endanger your family, neighbors, and utility workers.

⛽️ Carbon monoxide (CO) is an invisible, odorless gas produced by fuel-burning equipment, including portable generators. You can’t see it. You can’t smell it. And you may not realize you’re being exposed until it’s too late. Have working CO alarms on every level of your home and outside sleeping areas. Test them regularly.

đźš‘ Headaches, dizziness, nausea, weakness, and confusion can be signs of carbon monoxide poisoning. If you suspect exposure, get everyone into fresh air immediately and call 911.

Our county is under a tornado watch until 8:00 p.m. tonight. LFD has a few tips for you in the event our tornado watch becomes a tornado warning. Take the time to read to educate yourself and your family on these important safety tips.

1. Know the difference between a watch and a warning. A watch means be prepared. A warning means take shelter immediately because a tornado has been detected or indicated by radar.

2. Identify your safe place now. Choose a basement or small interior and room in the lowest level of your home, away from windows. Bathrooms, closets, and hallways are often good options.

3. Keep your phone charged. Severe weather can cause power outages. Charge your devices and have a portable charger available.

4. Have multiple ways to receive alerts. Do not reply solely on outdoor warning sirens. Enable emergency alerts on your phone and keep a NOAA weather radio nearby if you have one available.

5. Never rely on seeing a tornado. Tornados can be hidden by heavy rain or darkness. If a warning is issued, take shelter immediately.

6. Secure loose outdoor items. Bring in lightweight furniture, decorations, and other objects that could become dangerous in strong winds, if conditions are still safe.

7. Keep shoes and a flashlight nearby. If severe weather causes damage or a power outage, sturdy shoes and a flashlight can help you move safely.

8. Do not wait until the last minute. Tornadoes can develop quickly, sometimes with little warning. Take watches seriously and be ready to move to safety.

Fire Prevention Week Tip Number 5: A working smoke alarm could be the difference between getting out safely and not getting out at all.

🚨Test your alarms monthly! Just because the light is blinking doesn’t mean your alarm is working properly.

🚨 Never ignore the chirp! That little sound is telling you something needs attention. Replace the battery or alarm as needed—don’t just disconnect it to silence it.

🚨 Make sure everyone knows the sound! Teach your children what a smoke alarm sounds like and practice what to do when it goes off.

🚨 Location matters! Install smoke alarms inside the bedroom, outside each sleeping area, near the kitchen, and on every level of your home.

🚨Change the batteries twice a year! A good way to remember when to change your batteries is to change them when you change your clock.

Fire Prevention Week Tip Number 4: 4 letters to Remember!

When using a fire extinguisher, remember the PASS method. Before extinguishing a fire, place yourself 6-8 feet away with your back to an exit. Doing so will ensure you are able to exit quickly in case something unexpected happens.

P: Pull the pin on the fire extinguisher.
A: Aim the nozzle at the base of the fire.
S: Squeeze the handle to discharge the extinguisher.
S: Sweep the nozzle from side to side. Slow and controlled motions until the fire is out.

3 Fire Safety Tips for Day 3 of Fire Prevention Week:

🔥Close your bedroom door while you sleep, and when you leave the house.
A closed door can slow the spread of smoke, heat, and fire to give you more time to escape. Compartmentalizing rooms is the best way to limit fire and smoke spread.

🔥2 ways out.
Sometimes, the most obvious exit route may not be available. Have 2 routes out of your home in the event that the traditional escape route is blocked or unavailable.

🔥Get out, stay out.
As soon as you safely exit your home, meet at your predetermined meeting location (a specific tree, mailbox, neighbors house, etc.). Once you’ve escaped, do not return for pets, belongings, etc. tell the firemen what or who you’re missing.

Fire Safety Tip Number 2: We Can’t Help You If We Can’t Find You.

Keep your house number visible from the road. Your address should be visible from both directions of travel. Reflective, contrasting numbers are especially helpful at night.

In honor of Fire Prevention Week™, Lyons Fire will be sharing one Fire Safety tip each day October 4–10, 2026.

This year’s theme is “Charge Into Fire Safety™. Safe Charging Is a Superpower”. It focuses on the everyday charging habits that can help reduce the risk of lithium-ion battery fires and keep homes and communities safer.

Our first tip of the week: Soft Surface? Hard Pass.
Electronics need ventilation when charging, so when charging any device place it on a hard and uncovered flat surface. For example, a desk, table, or bare floor. No beds, couches, or any other soft surface.
