October Safety Awareness Training: Fire safety

The October Safety Awareness Training topics cover fire safety and emergency actions.

Fire is a real danger. Fire departments in the United

States respond to a fire about every 24 seconds. The following are some tips for fire safety:

Install alarms and test them every month to ensure they are functioning properly as well as replace alarm batteries twice a year.

Ensure fire extinguishers are available in a highly visible location.

Have an actionable fire escape plan.

Talk with team/family members about the fire escape plan and practice the plan at least twice a year.

Never leave a room with an open flame.

Embrace the cliché – “Stop, Drop and Roll”.

For more information on fire safety and emergency actions navigate to the Yuma Proving Ground (YPG) Sharepoint site and select the October Safety
