100th anniversary of Fire Prevention Week

As we celebrate the 100th anniversary of Fire Prevention Week.  This year's FPW campaign, "Fire won't wait.  Plan your escape" hopes to educate everyone about the important actions you can take to keep yourself and those around you safe from a home fire.

Today's homes burn faster than ever.  You may have as little as two minutes (or even less time) to safely escape a home fire from the time the smoke alarm sounds.  Your ability to get out of a home during a fire depends on early warning from smoke alarms and advance planning.  

To learn more click the link below to NFPA website or contact the fire department at 336-983-3030 and our staff will be more than willing to assist you with any questions you may have.
