Danville Fire Department

Fire Prevention

   The Danville Fire Department works to educate the community on fire prevention. The Danville Firefighters visit the Elementary schools as well as the daycares in the community. They teach the children about fire prevention, (STOP DROP AND ROLL) home safety (CHECK SMOKE DETECTORS), and child safety.

 Smoke Detector Safety

    The Danville Fire Department participates in Fire Prevention Month. This is nationally recognized week in October. We will be providing updates on the exact time and location of when we will be talking to children.

    How to set up a fire escape plan

	Check to be sure you have working smoke detectors on every level of the home and outside all sleeping area.
	Draw a sketch of your house. Make sure there are at least two unobstructed ways out of each room. Note any areas that have only one exit.
	Mark primary exits, make sure they are in good working condition.
	Mark a meeting place outside (neighbors, sidewalk, or a tree).
	Make sure everyone knows the Emergency Number is 911
	If you or a family member needs special assistance, you need to practice this with your fire escape plan.
	Now you are ready to practice and learn how to get out in a emergency. Remember you will need to practice this all year long. PRACTICE, PRACTICE, PRACTICE.
