REVENTION
October 3-9
2021*
WEE
This week is Fire Prevention Week“, and the
Mason County Fire Districtsremind residents to
“Learn the Sounds of Fire Safety””
The Mason County Fire Districts are teaming up with the National Fire
Protection AssociationG (NFPA“)—the official sponsor of Fire
Prevention
Week for more than 90 years—to promote this year’s Fire Prevention
WeekTM campaign, “Learn the Sounds of Fire SafetyTM.” This year’s
campaign, running from October 3 to October 9, works to educate
everyone about simple but important actions they can take to keep
themselves and those around them safe.
“What do the sounds mean? Is there a beep or a chirp coming out of
your smoke or carbon monoxide’alarm? Knowing the difference can save
you, your home, and your family,” said Lorraine Carli, vice—president
of
I outreach and advocacy at NFPA.
The Mason County Fire Districts encourage all residents to embrace,
2021 Fire Prevention week theme. It’s important to learn the different
’7
sounds of smoke and carbon monoxide alarms. When an alarm makes
noise—a beeping sound or a chirping sound—you must take action!
Make sure everyone in the home understands the sounds of the alarms
and knows how to respond. To learn the sounds of your specific smoke
and carbon monoxide alarms, check the manufacturer’s instructions that
came in the box, or search the brand and model online.
The Mason County Fire Districts want to share safety
tips to help you “Learn the Sounds of Fire Safety.”
- A continuous set of three loud beeps—beep,,beep, beep—means smoke
or fire. Get out, call 9-1-1, and stay out.
o A single chirp every 30 or 60 seconds means the battery is low and
must be changed.
o All smoke alarms must be replaced after 10 years.
- Chirping that continues after the battery has been replaced means the
alarm is at the end of its life and the unit must be replaced.
o Make sure your smoke and CO alarms meet the needs of all your
family members, including those with sensory or physical disabilities.
The Mason County Fire Districts are hosting a series of events in support
of this year’s Fire Prevention Week campaign, “Learn the Sounds of
Fire Safety.” To find out more about Fire Prevention‘Week programs
and activities in Mason County, please contact your local Fire District.
