🌟 Final Reminder This Week: Fire Safety Is a Team Effort! Make sure: ✅ Everyone knows the location of extinguishers. ✅ You’ve had a recent fire drill. ✅ You have a clear evacuation plan. ✅ You’ve reviewed extinguisher types & use. Safety is everyone’s responsibility
🧯 Fire Extinguisher Check! When’s the last time you: ✅ Checked the pressure gauge? ✅ Made sure it’s easy to access? ✅ Looked for rust or damage? ✅ Reviewed the expiration date? A broken extinguisher is as bad as no extinguisher. Take 5 minutes to inspect yours this weekend
On 5/31/13 a fire at the Southwest Inn in Houston ultimately killed 5 ff’s when the roof collapsed during suppression ops. Contributing factors were the fire burning unreported for 3 hours, high winds, poor communications, and a lack of fire sprinklers. #FireHistory #NeverForget
: 🚨 Do you know which fire extinguisher to use? Not all fires are the same — and neither are extinguishers! 🟥 Class A: Paper, wood, cloth 🟨 Class B: Flammable liquids 🟦 Class C: Electrical fires 🟩 Class D: Metals (industrial) 🟪 Class K: Cooking oils Check the label
🔥 Do You Know When to Use a Fire Extinguisher? ✅ Everyone is evacuating the building. ✅ You’ve called 911. ✅ The fire is small and contained (like a trash can or stovetop fire). ✅ You have a clear escape route.

Purchase and use only child-resistant lighters. Lighters that look like toys can confuse children and cause fires, injuries, and death and are prohibited in most states. Do not buy or use them. #FirePrevention #FireSafetyTips #BeSafe
Teach young children to never touch matches and lighters and to tell a grownup if they find them. #FirePrevention #FireSafetyTips #BeSafe #KidsFireSafety #aaw
