Safety and resources
Small habits that keep your home and your family safe, and where to find help.
Smoke and carbon monoxide alarms
Smoke alarms
Put one on every level and inside and outside sleeping areas. Test them every month. Alarms wear out, so check the date on the back and replace them when the maker says to.
Carbon monoxide alarms
Put them near sleeping areas on every level. If one sounds, get everyone outside into fresh air and call 911.
Plan your way out
Know two ways out of every room. Pick a meeting spot outside, and practice the plan with everyone in the home.
Fire Prevention Week
Every October we bring fire safety to local schools with programs, drills, literature, and apparatus demonstrations.

My Local Safety (MyLS) is free. You store emergency contacts, access notes, pets, and any medical or mobility needs. Only authorized responders can see them, and they connect to our department mapping.
