Tips &
Tricks...FIRE SAFETY
- Identify TWO escape
routes from each room in your home. Make sure
everyone, especially children, know the plan.
- Teach children to
follow the escape routes without stopping for
valuables or returning to a burning home.
- Install smoke and
carbon monoxide detectors. An early warning
allows more time to evacuate. Check detectors
monthly. Replace batteries at least once a
year.
- Close doors while
sleeping. Open doors allow fire and smoke to
spread more quickly.

Firetruck
A fire fighter is working on the engine outside the station when
he notices a little girl next door in a little red wagon with little ladders hung off the side and a garden hose tightly coiled in the
middle.
The girl is wearing a fire fighter's helmet and has the wagon tied
to a dog and cat. The fire fighter walks over to take a closer look.
"That sure is a nice fire truck," the fire fighter says with admiration.
"Thanks," the girl says.
The fire fighter looks a little closer and notices the girl has tied the
wagon to the dog's collar and to the cat's testicles. "Little Partner," the fire fighter says, "I don't want to tell you how to run your firetruck, but
if you were to tie that rope around the cat's collar, I think you could go faster."
The little girl replied, "You're probably right, but then I wouldn't have a
siren."

How is it one careless match can start a forest fire, but it takes a whole box to start a barbecue?
~~~~~
A fire started on some grasslands near a farm. The county fire department was called to put out the fire. The fire was more than the county fire department could handle. Someone suggested that a nearby volunteer
group be called. Despite some doubt that the volunteer outfit would be of any assistance, the call was made.
The volunteers arrived in a dilapidated old fire truck. They rumbled straight towards the fire, drove right into the middle of the flames and stopped! The firemen jumped off the truck and frantically started spraying water in all directions. Soon they had snuffed out the center of the fire, breaking the blaze into two easily-controlled parts.
Watching all this, the farmer was so impressed with the volunteer fire department's work and was so grateful that his farm had been spared, that right there on the spot he presented the volunteers with a check for $1,000.
A local news reporter asked the volunteer fire captain what the department planned to do with the funds. "That ought to be obvious" he responded, wiping ashes off his coat. "The first thing we're gonna do is get the brakes fixed on our fire truck!"

A mom is driving her second-grade
daughter and two of her friends to school one day when a fire truck zoomed past.
Sitting in the front seat of the fire truck was a Dalmatian dog. The children
started talking about what the dog's duties were.
One little girl said, "They use him to keep crowds
back."
"No," said another, "he's just for good luck."
The daughter said, "No! No! They use the dogs to find the fire
hydrants."
