State Fire Marshal, firefighters issue warning about smoke alarm certifications
Morrisville’s fire chief said, in the last 40 years, people have gone from having almost 20 minutes to just three minutes to get out of their house when the alarm goes off.
It's #FirePreventionWeek! In a typical home fire, you may have as little as one to two minutes to escape safely from the time the smoke alarm sounds. Escape planning and practice can help you make the most of the time you have, giving everyone enough time to get out. Plan ahead for your escape. Make your home escape plan and practice today. bit.ly/2miDkjB

This reminder coincides with National Fire Prevention Week, which runs Oct. 6-12. Learn more at www.ncagr.gov/paffairs/release/2019/10-19fallwildfireseasoncoming.htm
We are excited to announce that pending approval by the Davidson County school board there will be two High School Firefighter academies in the county school system. We have had the pleasure of working with some great people on this And can’t express our gratitude enough. These academies will be at North Davidson and Central. They’ll be open to all students in the county provided that those who aren’t already at those schools provide their own transportation. The goal is to start the first classes in January of 2020. If you know any child who’s interested please tell them to talk to their administrators or guidance counselors. Please share this post to get the word out about this awesome opportunity!
