This week is Fire Prevention Week, and this year's campaign is “Fire won’t wait. Plan your escape". Today’s homes burn faster than ever. You may have as little as two minutes (or even less time) to safely escape a home fire from the time the smoke alarm sounds.
Your ability to get out of a home during a fire depends on early warning from smoke alarms and advance planning on how to get out and where to meet.
