Fire Safety Awareness: Protecting Your Home and Family
As the cooler months approach, fire safety becomes more crucial than ever. The Lancaster Fire Department encourages residents to take simple steps to protect their homes, such as testing smoke alarms monthly, practicing home fire escape plans, and keeping heating equipment well-maintained. "A little preparation can make all the difference in preventing tragedies," said Chief Randy Flynn. "We want everyone to take fire safety seriously—whether it's checking your smoke alarms, keeping flammable items away from heating equipment, or having a dedicated meeting spot."
The Lancaster Fire Department would like to remind attendees to follow all traffic and safety protocols during the event.
