Fire Prevention Week
It’s Fire Prevention Week. Preventing Home Fires
|
In honor of Fire Prevention Week, we have constructed a resource page on our website to provide viewers with important fire prevention and safety information.The theme of this years Fire Prevention Week is “Prevent Home Fires.” We feel as if this years theme is particularly important. With winter right around the corner, it’s imperative to recognize that the majority of residential fires occur during the winter months for a variety of reasons. Some of these reason include things such as, the return to home heating methods, the increase in cooking due to the holidays, the use of fireplaces, holiday decorations and burning candles.Many will most likely be seeking alternative home heating sources due to the current high cost of oil and energy. Although many of these heating sources are acceptable; it’s important to be aware of their dangers. It’s also important to be aware of how holiday decorating and cooking could potentially be hazardous to our safety.We hope that you could take just a few moments of your time to review this portion of our website and learn as much as you can about fire safety and prevention.For further convenience, we have also included other topics to our resource page. Visit us today to view Emergency/Disaster Planning and Preparation, Moving To Connecticut, and other Helpful Links.Simply log onto www.vfmcneil.com and click on the “Prevent Home Fires” logo to go directly to the Fire Safety web page.
