In October, you will often see pictures of firetrucks, Dalmatian dogs, and firemen in school hallways. Students learn important fire safety lessons. But, did you know that you should do a quick review in the Spring? Every year, about 3,400 people die in fires. Another 17,500 people are injured in fires. Many of these fires occur in the home at night when people are sleeping. Some of these deaths and injuries could have been prevented with a working smoke alarm.
One simple thing that can make a big difference is changing your batteries on a regular schedule. This Sunday, March 9th is the beginning of Daylight Savings Time. Time to change your clock means it is time to change the batteries in your smoke alarms.
This would be the perfect time to review fire safety and include a reminder about changing batteries. Here is a note you can send home to your parents.
