In addition to fire prevention efforts, the following recommended actions should also be implemented to be prepared for an unexpected potential fire.
- Remove snow regularly from all entry/exit doors and pathways, of your home, business, or facility. This also includes those not regularly used as they may be needed for emergency evacuation or escape in the event of fire. If you are not capable of snow removal, consider making arrangements for someone cable to remove snow. Likewise, consider helping a neighbor or someone you know that does not have this ability.
- If a fire hydrant is near your home or business, keep it clear of snow and unobstructed for prompt access by the fire department.
- Keep snow accumulations and drifts clear of exhaust outlets of clothes driers and heating units that might be located on exterior walls.
- Avoid unnecessary travel on roadways during significant snowfall to help permit both efficient snow removal and safe response of emergency vehicles
- Throughout the year always have working smoke alarms installed on every level of your home, test them monthly and keep them clean and equipped with fresh batteries at all times. Know when and how to call for help by dialing 911, and remember to practice your home escape plan.
