Our objective is to safeguard both lives and property by means of proactive educational efforts and community involvement activities to reduce the risk of emergencies within our communcities.
We develop and carry out a broad spectrum of programs aimed at various demographic groups within the community. These initiatives, which cover everything from fire safety instruction for children to specific training for businesses, seek to provide our community members with the essential knowledge and skills to both avert fires and respond appropriately should one break out.
Fire safety and education goes beyond being just a subdivision of the fire department, it embodies the bedrock of our community's resilience. Through the education of our communities, we collectively contribute to mitigating the impact of fires and cultivating a safer, more knowledgeable community.
Smoke detectors are crucial safety devices that can alert you to potential fires in your home, potentially saving lives and property. They work by detecting the smoke particles generated by a fire, then sounding an alarm to alert the occupants. This gives people a chance to escape before the fire becomes too large or the smoke too dense. As a general rule, smoke detector batteries should be replaced at least once a year. However, you should test the detectors monthly to ensure they are working correctly. Many smoke detectors also have a 'low battery' alert, often a periodic beep, to remind you to replace the batteries. Never ignore this warning. It's a small task that can make a huge difference in the safety of your home and family.
