Fire Safety

Did you know that if a fire starts in your home you may have as little as two to six minutes to escape? During a fire, early warning from a working smoke alarm plus a fire escape plan that has been practiced regularly can save lives. Learn what else to do to keep your loved ones safe!

Top Tips for Fire Safety

Install smoke alarms on every level of your home, inside bedrooms and outside sleeping areas.

Test smoke alarms every month. If they’re not working, change the batteries.

Talk with all family members about a Fire Escape Plan and practice the plan twice a year.

If a fire occurs in your home, GET OUT, STAY OUT and CALL FOR HELP. Never go back inside for anything or anyone.

Planning on burning? Please visit: https://www.ncagr.gov/divisions/nc-forest-service/fire-control-and-prevention/readiness-plans and look in Region 2, District 6. RP 1-3 is safe to conduct your burn. RP 4-5, Please DO NOT BURN! Also, remember to visit: https://facebook.com/NorthRaefordFD as we update burn / no-burn conditions as they happen!
