KNIGHTS FIGHT THE FLAME!

FIRE IN NORTH OGDEN HOME Unfortunately, one of our neighbors in North Ogden recently lost their home to a fire, believed to be started by an unattended candle. The NOJH Peer Leaders would like to invite you to learn from the Davis’s tragic experience and HELP them make a new start! KNIGHTS FIGHT THE FLAME!!! http://www.standard.net/slideshows/2009%20Slideshows/slchousefire022809/slideshow.html

OXYGEN + HEAT + FUEL = CHEMICAL REACTION = FIRE!                                                                                                                                                                                                                The important thing to remember is: take any of these four things away, and you will not have a fire or the fire will be extinguished. Essentially, fire extinguishers (and Firefighters) put out fire by taking away one or more elements of the fire triangle/tetrahedron.  Fire safety- keep fuel sources and ignition sources separate! www.newmarketfire.com

What can WE do So this won’t happen to you? Keep space heaters clear from combustibles. Keep lighters & matches out of children’s reach. DON’T Leave candles unattended! Leave cooking unattended. Overload electrical sockets/ make sure plugs are not frayed or cut. Smoke in bed or leave cigarettes unattended. DON’T PLAY WITH FIRE!!!

FIRE SAFETY SMOKE DETECTORS: Make sure to have working SMOKE DETECTORS on each level of your home AND outside of bedrooms. Check batteries often. FIRE ESCAPE PLAN- Make one and practice often with your family– two exits for each room- Plan a meeting place outside.

IF THERE IS A FIRE… *CRAWL LOW UNDER SMOKE. *FEEL CLOSED DOORS, IF HOT USE OTHER EXIT. *STOP, DROP, & ROLL IF YOUR HAIR OR CLOTHING START ON FIRE. *ESCAPE FIRST THEN CALL “911”!!! *NEVER, EVER RE-ENTER A BURNING BUILDING!!!
