Elsdon Community Participates in Residential Fire Awareness Month?

10/7/2024 (Permalink)

We are leaders in residential fire damage restoration services in Chicago.

Our local Evergreen Park/South Chicago City teams respond to fire damage emergencies in Elsdon 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. During Residential Fire Awareness Month, the National Fire Protection Association features campaigns to educate people about residential fires. This week’s focus is on having working smoke alarms installed inside every sleeping room as well as outside of every sleeping room and on every level of the house, including the basement.

A comprehensive residential fire safety plan should include the installation and regular testing of smoke alarms. Smoke alarms should be tested monthly and replaced after ten years. The safety plan should feature a clear, practiced escape route for each family member, with at least two exits from each room. Fire extinguishers should be strategically placed, especially in the kitchen and near potential fire hazards. The plan should also designate a safe meeting place outside the home and emphasize the importance of never re-entering a burning building. Additionally, it’s crucial to ensure everyone knows how to call 911 in an emergency.
