Install working smoke alarms outside every bedroom and on every level of the home and check batteries to be sure they are working.
If a cooking fire starts in a pan, don't panic & don't use water to put the fire out. Put the pan lid on the fire & turn the burner off. Don't move the pan!
Practice Family Escape Plans, know two ways out of each room and have a family meeting place.
Clean chimneys and stove pipes or have them checked by a progessional.
Post reflective address signs so emergency responders can find you.
This is also a great time to maintain your defensible space. It is everyone's responsibility to be fire wise, it takes a community to be fire safe.
Call or stop by the District Office and request a Home Assessment.
-Open burning of debris is permitted now. Please call before you burn. Don't burn on windy days! For Burn Days call Air Quality at the following numbers; Jackson County 776-7007, Josephine County 476-9663.
