SENTINEL SAFETY SNIPPETS

OCTOBER is National Fire Safety Month

September was national emergency preparedness month and we highlighted in last month’s newsletter the need to assess the potential emergencies that may impact your home and business and have a plan for each one. Fires are unfortunately a potential emergency situation that everyone must be prepared for in their home and business.

Do you have a plan in place, which includes:

• Emergency response and notifications
• Fire detection systems
• Fire protection systems and/or fire extinguishers
• Egress plans and clear exit routes
• Plans to account for everyone once they are safely out of the structure



Do you practice your plan and provide training?
