The job of the fire
prevention bureau is to prevent fires before they occur. This is
attempted through education, inspection and enforcement of Ohio
Fire Code.
Each year the Prevention
Bureau is busy at our local schools teaching children about fire
safety. Programs covering "stop, drop and roll, crawl under
smoke and know two ways out" are usually covered. For
more information directed towards youngsters about fire safety
and safety in general, go to FireSafety.gov
for Kids.
Inspections of high fire
risk industry are done to help employers stay safe from fire
loss and most importantly keeping employees safe.
Home fire safety
inspections are completed for residents with foster children and
day care.
The Fire Prevention Bureau
is also responsible for fire investigations. We attempt to
determine what caused the fire as well as were it started.
Fire extinguisher training
is also available to residents and businesses at no expense.
It is our hope that all
residents have working smoke detectors in their homes. We
suggest having one on each floor and in each bedroom. We want to
stress changing your smoke detector batteries twice a year. We
also suggest changing you smoke detectors every 10 years. |
