Fire Safety Tips

Here’s a safety tip that strikes the right note. Several months ago, a fire severely damaged part of a recording studio being used by the musical group the Black Eyed Peas. Fortunately, an employee and an engineer were able to use portable fire extinguishers to keep the fire localized-just one of many stories that demonstrate that portable fire extinguishers can save lives and protect property.
The Fire Equipment Manufacturers’ Association recommends the following:
• Know where the fire extinguishers and fire hose stations are located and how to use them.
• Create and practice an evacuation plan.
• Call a licensed fire equipment company to maintain and/or replace outdated fire equipment and pre-engineered fire suppression systems.
• Contact your fire department about conducting a fire prevention class and have it review your emergency plans.
