Fire Prevention Week starts Sunday, Oct. 8, and runs through Saturday, Oct. 14. This year’s theme is “Every Second Counts: Plan 2 Ways Out!” State Fire Marshal Paul Merriman says individuals and families should plan two ways out of their home in case of fire. He says just as important is to practice their plan. “Families should hold fire drills in their homes at least twice a year; once during the day and another time at night,” Merriman says. “It is important that everyone, especially children, know how to get out of a burning structure using more than one exit.” As always, another emphasis during the week will be the use of smoke alarms. Merriman says the importance of smoke alarms can’t be stressed enough. “We have seen too many house fires where there were no smoke alarms present or the alarms in the homes were not properly working,” he says. “Smoke alarms can 407 Ruth Street, Yankton, SD help save lives.
