Fire Safety Tips from the Clinton Fire Department:
Install smoke alarms on every level of your home and inside all bedrooms.
Test alarms monthly and replace batteries at least once a year.
Create and practice a home fire escape plan with your family.
Keep matches, lighters, and ignition sources out of children’s reach.
Charge lithium-ion batteries safely—use manufacturer-approved chargers and avoid overcharging.
“Fire prevention begins at home,” said Assistant Chief – Fire Marshal Greg Forari. “This week is a great opportunity for families to review their safety plans, check smoke alarms, and learn how to safely use everyday technology like lithium-ion batteries.”
