🔥🚒 In Our Community This Week: Fire Prevention WeekThis week, the Avella Volunteer Fire Department visited Avella Elementary School to help students learn important fire safety skills! The visit included a fire safety assembly, a look at the firetruck and its equipment, and lessons on escaping a house fire and creating a family escape plan, safe charging, and much more. It's wonderful to see children learning these potentially life-saving skills and bringing that knowledge home.We'd like all of our residents to take a few minutes this week to talk about fire safety - AND CHARGING HABITS - with your family or household. A little preparation can make a big difference in an emergency! 🏠Here's where you can start:✅ Make an escape plan. Identify two ways out of every room when possible, and practice your plan with everyone in your household.✅ Choose a meeting place. Pick a safe spot outside, a safe distance from your home, where everyone knows to meet.✅ Practice getting out safely. Make sure everyone knows how to get outside, including what to do if a door or exit is blocked. Once outside, stay outside.🔋 Charge safely. Charge phones, tablets, laptops, power tools, and other rechargeable devices on a hard, flat surface away from beds, couches, and other flammable materials. Use the appropriate charger and never charge damaged batteries.⚠️ Know the warning signs. Stop using a battery or device if it becomes unusually hot, swells, leaks, or gives off an unusual odor.🚨 Remember: Get out, stay out, and call 911 if there's a fire. Never go back inside for belongings or pets.Thank you to everyone helping our community stay safe! ❤️For more fire safety information and updates, visit the Avella Volunteer Fire Department's Facebook page:www.facebook.com/profil#FirePreventionWeek5#firesafetyr#CommunitySafetyreSafety #CommunitySafety
