Fire Safety
A few simple habits can save lives. Here are the basics every Moonachie household should follow. More materials on our Education page →
Test smoke and CO detectors monthly and replace batteries twice a year. Working alarms cut the risk of dying in a fire in half.
Know two exits from every room and pick an outside meeting place. Practice your home escape plan with the whole family.
Never leave cooking unattended. Keep flammables away from the stove and keep a lid nearby to smother grease fires.
Keep hydrants and your house numbers visible — in an emergency, every second we save finding you matters.
Keep candles at least 12 inches from anything that can burn, set them on sturdy surfaces, and never leave them lit unattended. Blow them out before leaving the room or going to sleep.
