Fire Safety and Your Family

7/21/2022 (Permalink)

The thought of a fire in your home can be terrifying but considering fire safety is not something to avoid. The American Red Cross responded to more than 74,000 disasters in communities across the United States last year and 93 percent of these were fire related.

Fire safety is something to consider for you and your family. Eighty percent of Americans don’t realize that home fires are the single most common disaster across the nation.

Having an escape plan is an important part of fire safety. According to the American Red Cross, only 26 percent of families have actually developed and practiced a home fire escape plan. You don't want to wait for an actual fire to find out if your family can escape.

It's important to remember children under five and adults over 65 are more than twice as likely to die in a home fire than the rest of the US population.
