Fire Prevention Week

In recognition of Fire Prevention Week, we invited the Pompton Lakes Fire Department to visit Windsor. They explained the importance of fire safety, answered numerous questions, and demonstrated how firefighters help us during emergencies. We are so grateful to them for putting their lives at risk for all of us every day. Here are some highlights from their visit:

• Smoke alarms should be installed inside every sleeping room, outside each separate sleeping area, and on every level of your home. Smoke alarms should be interconnected so that when one sounds, they all sound.
• Know at least two ways out of every room, if possible. Make sure all doors and windows open easily.
• Have an outside meeting place a safe distance from your home where everyone should meet.
• Practice your home fire drill at least twice a year with everyone in the household, including guests. Practice at least once during the day and at night. Make sure your plan meets the needs of all your family members, including those with sensory or physical disabilities.
