THE HAYCOCK FIRE COMPANY URGES ALL RESIDENTS OF HAYCOCK TOWNSHIP TO TAKE SOME TIME OUT OF THEIR DAY THIS MONTH TO DO AN INSPECTION OF THEIR RESIDENCE FOR FIRE AND GENERAL SAFETY ISSUES

THERE ARE MANY ITEMS TO LOOK FOR INSIDE AND OUTSIDE OF YOUR HOME

HEATING-AS THE HEATING SEASON APPROACHES BE SURE THAT YOUR HEATING SYSTEM IS PROPERLY MAINTAINED AND READY FOR THE LONG HEATING SEASON AND AMOUNT OF USE it is ABOUT TO UNDERGO. THIS INCLUDES WOOD STOVES, FIRE PLACES, FURNACES AND CHIMNEYS. HAVE THEM CLEANED AND INSPECTED ANNUALLY AND PRIOR TO USING THEM.

ELECTRICAL-MONITOR YOUR ELECTRICAL CIRCUITS THROUGHOUT YOUR RESIDENCE TO BE SURE THAT THEY ARE NOT OVERLOADED. BE SURE TO CHECK WIRING, EXTENSION CORDS, ETC. AND BE SURE THEY ARE THE CORRECT SIZE AND ARE IN GOOD REPAIR SO THAT THEY

DO NOT BECOME A-SOURCE FOR ACCIDENTAL FIRE.

ALARM SYSTEMS-ENSURE THAT YOUR SMOKE ALARMS, CARBON MONOXIDE AND OTHER

ALARMS ARE IN WORKING ORDER AND THAT BATTERIES ARE CHANGED. DETECTORS SHOULD BE PLACED THROUGHOUT YOUR HOME AND ON ALL FLOORS.

ESCAPE PLAN-HAVE A PLAN. KNOW HOW YOU AND ALL MEMBERS OF YOUR HOUSEHOLD WIL GET OUT OF YOUR HOUSE IN CASE OF AN EMERGENCY. BE SURE THAT EVERYONE RESIDING IN YOUR HOME KNOWS WHERE TO MEET OUTSIDE OF THE HOUSE NI THE EVENT THAT IT IS NECESSARY TO EVACUATE.

THESE ARE ONLY A FEW TIPS FOR YOUR PERSONAL SAFETY; PLEASE GO TOHTTP://WWW.INFPA.ORG/PUBLIC-EDUCATION FOR MORE INFORMATION ON FIRE AND OTHER SAFETY RELATED ITEMS.
