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. We also visit several locations with Patches and Pumper, such as the schools in our district and other commerical business. We try to be available to the community at all times for special events. We have currently trained over 3,000 kids and adults with our fire prevention program. Please fill free to stop by at the fire department any day of the week for a tour. 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.

If you don't have a escape plan, you need to get with your parents and make one. Always plan 2 ways out. Get Out and Stay Out.

If your clothes catch on fire,
"Stop, Drop, Cover Your Face, and Roll!"

If your friend's clothes catch on fire, don't let him or her run; yell,
"Stop, Drop, Cover Your Face, 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.
Don't hang up until you are told to do so; listen for instructions.

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.
