🔥 FIRE PREVENTION WEEK — DAY 7 🔥
🚒 FIRE PREVENTION DOESN’T END TODAY — SAFETY IS A YEAR-ROUND RESPONSIBILITY!
As Fire Prevention Week comes to a close, Central Fire — Battalion 1 wants to remind everyone that fire safety isn’t just something we think about for one week in October. It’s something we should practice every single day.
Throughout this week, we’ve shared important reminders about protecting our homes, families, and community. Now it’s time to put those lessons into action!
🚨 SMOKE & CARBON MONOXIDE ALARMS — Test your alarms regularly and make sure everyone recognizes the warning sounds.
🏠 HOME ESCAPE PLANS — Know two ways out of every room when possible, establish a meeting place, and practice your escape plan.
🍳 COOKING SAFETY — Never leave cooking unattended and keep combustible materials away from heat sources.
🔥 HEATING SAFETY — Keep anything that can burn at least 3 feet away from heating equipment and have heating systems properly maintained.
🔌 ELECTRICAL SAFETY — Avoid overloaded outlets, inspect electrical cords, and never ignore electrical warning signs.
⛽ GARAGE & OUTDOOR FIRE SAFETY — Store flammable materials properly, follow fire restrictions, and always use caution with open flames.
🚨 REMEMBER: IF A FIRE STARTS, GET OUT, STAY OUT, AND CALL 911!
🚒 OUR FINAL COMMUNITY CHALLENGE:
Let’s make fire prevention a commitment that lasts all year!
Before the day is over, we’re challenging every household in Fremont County to take a few simple steps:
✅ Test your smoke and carbon monoxide alarms.
✅ Review and practice your family’s emergency escape plan.
✅ Walk through your home and identify potential fire hazards.
✅ Teach your children what to do in an emergency.
✅ Check on an elderly neighbor, friend, or family member who may need assistance.

❤️ A MESSAGE TO OUR COMMUNITY
From all of us at Central Fire — Battalion 1, thank you for taking the time this week to learn, share, and practice fire prevention.
As firefighters, we train and prepare to respond when emergencies happen. But one of the greatest successes we can have is a fire that never starts, an emergency that never happens, and a family that never has to experience the devastation of losing their home or a loved one.
We can’t prevent every emergency, but together, we can reduce the risks.
Whether it’s checking on a neighbor, teaching a child about fire safety, or taking a few minutes to inspect your home, every action makes a difference.
Our mission doesn’t stop when Fire Prevention Week ends, and neither should our commitment to keeping Fremont County safe.
🚒 ONE COMMUNITY. ONE MISSION. FIRE SAFETY FOR EVERYONE.
Prevent Fires. Protect Families. Keep Our Community Safe.
Stay safe, Fremont County!
