There have been 829 civilian fire deaths since January 1, 2016.

An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.

  1. Installing and maintaining smoke detectors significantly improves your likelihood of surviving a fire in your home.
  2. Closing bedroom doors at night creates a survivable space for you or your loved ones in case of a fire.

Those are just two ingredients to add to your ounce of prevention.

Then think about helping us fund and staff our pound of cure.
