Turn Your Attention To Fire Prevention             Fire Prevention Week October 7th through the 13th              "PRACTICE YOUR ESCAPE PLAN"  

The Ashland City Fire Department has a public education program consisting of a fire safety trailer and "Patches and Pumper". The safety trailer is a mobile unit that will be set up in different locations and at different events throughout the year.

If you would like a group tour please call in advance so we can prepare for it and supply you with the best in fire prevention education.
 

Fire Prevention Week 2007

Do you like helping out in the kitchen and cooking up tasty snacks for your friends and family? Preparing yummy treats can be lots of fun, but it's important that kids who like to cook know how to be safe in the kitchen. These tips can help you figure out what you're old enough to do on your own - and when it's time to ask a grown-up for help.
Getting started - Before you get cooking, you need to get a grown-up's permission. If you plan to use a recipe, look it over with a grown-up first to decide what you can do on your own and what you need help with. And once you get started, never be afraid to ask for help. Even the best chefs rely on their assistants to help them out in the kitchen.
Helping out is fun - From mixing up cake batter to cutting shapes out of cookie dough, helping a grownup in the kitchen can be lots of fun. So if you're not old enough yet to cook on your own, not to worry; being the chef's helper is the most important job in the kitchen.
All kids are different - and a grownup should always decide what is safe for you to do in the kitchen - but here are some guidelines that you can use.

 Do you have a escape plan ?

   

 

If you don't have a escape plan, you need to get with your parents and make one.

(Always plan for two was out)

 

           

                             

          Someone's clothes are on fire!
If YOUR clothes catch on fire, "Stop, Drop and Roll!"
If your friend's clothes catch on fire, don't let him or her run; yell, "Stop, Drop and Roll!"
Once they are down and rolling, you can use a rug, blanket, towel, or other heavy cloth to help put out the flames on their clothes.
Get adult help or call 9-1-1 or "O" for operator.
Don't hang up until you are told to do so; listen for instructions.
 

     

SMOKE DETECTORS SAVE LIVES !

        

Check your smoke detector every month and change your batteries twice a year. Change them  in the Fall when you change your clocks backwards and in the Spring when you change your clocks forward.
