| Winter Fire Safety
Make sure that you and your family are protected during the winter months. Colder weather brings families inside for longer periods of time and that means your risk of a fire increases. Four in 10 reported home fires start in the kitchen -- more than any other place in the home. Half of all home heating fires occur in December, January and February. Make sure all smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detectors are working properly and repair/replace them as needed. Plan and practice exit drills in your home with all household members. Place portable heaters, space heaters and wood or coal burning stoves at least 3 feet away from furniture, walls, curtains or anything else that can burn. And be sure to turn off space heaters when you leave home or go to bed. Scroll down on this page to get helpful fire safety information on other various topics. Feel free to call the Bowling Green Fire Department at 270-393-3702 if you have further questions. |
| Fire Prevention Tip
Remember to check your smoke detector batteries at least once per month to make sure they are working properly and change the batteries in your smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detectors every six months as well. Feel free to call us at 270-393-3702 if you have questions about the placement of your smoke detectors. |
