For example, in Canada, Thanksgiving is on October 12<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">th<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, across the world, Halloween is celebrated on October 31<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">st<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, and believe it or not, October 14<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">th<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is National Dessert Day in The United States. Although maybe it\u2019s not as delicious sounding as Dessert Day, October is also Fire Prevention Month. Whether you are at home or work, fire prevention is essential to everyone\u2019s safety. Having an escape plan as well as working smoke alarms are absolutely vital in preventing tragedy if a fire takes place. Unfortunately, 3 of every 5 home fire deaths resulted from fires in homes with no smoke alarms, and less than 50% of homeowners have an escape plan if a fire takes place.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Smoke Alarms and Escape Routes<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When I gathered information to research fire awareness, I was surprised by some of the statistics I found regarding smoke alarms. As mentioned above, working smoke alarms will save your life if a fire takes place. A good rule of thumb is to make sure you change the batteries in the smoke alarms several times a year, it is recommended that you replace the batteries when we change the clocks back in the fall and ahead in the spring. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If the alarm chirps, warning that the battery is low, replace the entire smoke alarm right away. When replacing a battery, follow the manufacturer&#8217;s list of batteries on the back of the alarm or manufacturer\u2019s instructions. Manufacturer\u2019s instructions are specific to the batteries (brand and model) that must be used. The smoke alarm may not work properly if a different kind of battery is used. Below are some statistics provided by the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) and they paint a good picture of the importance of working smoke alarms.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Almost three out of five home fire deaths were caused by fires in properties with no smoke alarms (41 percent) of smoke alarms that failed to operate (16 percent).<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When smoke alarms were present in reported fires considered large enough to activate them, they operated in 89 percent of the fires, 73 percent of the deaths, and 82 percent of the injuries.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The risk of dying in reported home structure fires is 55 percent lower in homes with working smoke alarms than in homes with no alarms or none that worked.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When present, hardwired smoke alarms operated in 94 percent of the fires considered large enough to trigger a smoke alarm. Battery-powered alarms operated 82 percent of the time. Power source issues were the most common factors when smoke alarms failed to operate.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In addition, a well thought out escape plan is important. If a fire takes place, time is of the essence to get a safe place that is clear of smoke and fire. Under most circumstances fires will come as a surprise and without warning, and it is important to practice your escape route on a regular basis so if the time comes you will be prepared to make safe and sound decisions for you, your family, and your co-workers. Below are some tips when creating an escape plan<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Learn two ways out of every room<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Have an escape plan in the home, office and workplace<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Set a meeting place<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Know the path from each exit to the outside<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Keep the areas near the exit points easily accessible<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><b>How To Prevent Fires\u00a0<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Believe it or not, cooking is the number 1 cause of home fires and home injuries. It is important to stay in the kitchen when you are cooking and to remain alert when using ovens and stovetops. Misuse of portable heaters and fireplaces is also a trigger for fires within a home. Keep all flammable items like paper, clothing, or rugs at least 3 feet from a space heater, stove or fireplace. In terms of space heaters, they do sell models that will automatically turn off if they fall over which is a great option. Below are some other tips to prevent fires within your home:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Institute a \u201cno smoking\u201d policy in the house<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Check all cords and replace any that are frayed or have bare wires<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Switch to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nsc.org\/home-safety\/tools-resources\/seasonal-safety\/winter\/holiday\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">flameless candles<\/a><\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Keep matches and lighters high and out of children\u2019s reach in a locked cabinet<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">ICC Compliance Center is here to help.
