WASHINGTON – The Oct. 3-9 Fire Prevention Week campaign “Learn the Sounds of Fire Safety!” is designed to educate everyone about the different sounds that smoke and carbon monoxide alarms make, based on National Fire Protection Association information. Knowing what to do when an alarm sounds will keep occupants safe. When an alarm makes noise – a beeping sound or a chirping sound – take action, the association advises the public. Smoke alarms sense smoke well before a human can. During a fire, a person might have as little as two minutes to escape safely, which is why smoke alarms need to be in every bedroom, in halls outside of sleeping areas and on each level, including the basement. Do not put smoke alarms in your kitchen or bathrooms. To learn more, go to https://www.nfpa.org/Events/Events/Fire-Prevention-Week/About....
