As we pause today, we want to share a few important reminders—and a heartfelt thank you to everyone who’s helped us grow stronger since then, we all need to learn from this tragic day.

-Fire Safety Check-Up

Have you tested your smoke alarms this year? Take a minute tonight to:

Press the test button on every detector
Replace batteries if needed
Make sure alarms are installed on every level of your home

-Family Escape Plan

Sit down with your household this evening and walk through your escape routes. Make sure:

Everyone knows two ways out of each room
You’ve chosen an agreed-upon meeting spot outside
Kids understand what to do if an alarm sounds

-Community Support

We’re proud of our partners—local businesses, neighbors, schools—who’ve teamed up with us on fire drills, open houses, and CPR workshops over the past six years. We will continue to work along side of you to bring a better tomorrow!

Thank you for being #CommunityStrong. Every little step you take to stay safe helps honor the lessons we’ve learned and keeps everyone a bit safer. If you have questions about smoke alarms, escape planning, or anything fire‑related, drop us a comment or send us a message—we’re here for you!
