🔥October is Fire Prevention Month!🔥 At Lancaster EMS, we see firsthand how critical fire prevention is to keeping our community safe. Check out these essential tips to help you reduce the risk of fires at home and ensure your family is prepared in case of an emergency. Here’s how you can take proactive steps to protect yourself and your loved ones: 🚒Check smoke alarms: Make sure smoke detectors are installed on every level of your home, inside bedrooms, and outside sleeping areas. Test them monthly and change the batteries at least once a year. 🚒Create and practice a fire escape plan: Plan two ways out of each room, designate a meeting spot outside, and practice your escape plan with everyone in your household. 🚒Be careful in the kitchen: The leading cause of home fires is unattended cooking. Never leave the kitchen while cooking on the stovetop, and keep flammable items like towels and oven mitts away from heat sources. 🚒Space heater safety: Keep portable space heaters at least three feet away from anything that can burn, and always turn them off when leaving the room or going to bed. 🚒Candle caution: If you use candles, blow them out when leaving the room or going to bed. Consider using flameless candles for a safer option. 🚒Electrical safety: Avoid overloading outlets and replace damaged electrical cords immediately. Use extension cords for temporary purposes only and never for long-term use. 🚒Keep matches and lighters out of reach: Store them in a locked cabinet, out of sight and reach of children, to prevent accidental fires. 🚒Store flammable liquids safely: Keep gasoline, paint, and other flammable liquids in tightly sealed containers, away from heat sources, and preferably in a cool, well-ventilated area like a garage or shed. We at Lancaster EMS are always ready to respond in case of an emergency, but by following these tips, you can help reduce the risk of fire in your home. Let’s work together to stay safe this Fire Prevention Month!💛 #FirePreventionMonth #lancasterems #SafetyFirst #firesafety #PreventionIsProtection #FireSafetyTips #fireprevention
