Fire is DARK! Even though it might start out very bright it makes everything completely black causing it to be hard to find people, objects, and passageways. Make sure to have an escape plan. #FirePreventionWeek #fireescapeplan #FireSafetyTips

Fire is HOT! 🔥 That seems pretty obvious but when contained it can get so hot it can reach temperatures of 1000F! Have a fire escape plan! #FirePreventionWeek #fireescapeplan #fireishot

We hope some of the posts this week for #FirePreventionWeek have helped you and your family become more prepared for a fire emergency. Now let's all be like Bill, shall we? #FireSafetyTips #firefighter

We all want you to have a fun and safe Halloween this year. Therefore, in preparation, we have come up with some fire safety tips to ensure that your day goes well. Today's tip is all about what to do if your costume catches fire from an open flame. 🎃👻 Happy Halloween 👻🎃

We encourage you to be extra careful driving on Halloween night. Children are excited and sometimes forget to look both ways to cross the road. Remember to drive slowly and very carefully. 🎃👽👻 Happy Halloween 👻👽🎃 #firesafety #halloween2022 #spooktastic

It's party time!! 🥳 Halloween parties are always so much fun with all the treats (and tricks!) but with the fun, it is very important that we remember our fire safety. 🎃👽👻 Happy Halloween 👻👽🎃 #firesafety #halloween2022 #spooktastic

If you choose to use a real candle to light up your pumpkin always remember your fire safety. 🎃👽👻 Happy Halloween 👻👽🎃 #firesafety #halloween2022 #spooktastic

After a fun day and night of Halloween fun, it is important to remember to always blow out any open flames and never leave them unattended. 🎃👽👻 Happy Halloween 👻👽🎃 #firesafety #halloween2022 #spooktastic

Wishing you all a safe and happy Halloween! #HappyHalloween

They shall not grow old, as we that are left grow old. Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn. At the going down of the sun and in the morning We will remember them.
