Fire Prevention Week

Beginning Oct. 9, 2022, the Arlington County Fire Department is teaming up with the National Fire Protection Association to celebrate 100 years of Fire Prevention Week (FPW).

This year’s FPW campaign – "Fire won’t wait. Plan your escape." — works to educate everyone about simple but important actions you can take to keep yourself and those around you safe from home fires.

Here are a few safety tips from the Arlington County Fire Department:

  • Make a home escape plan and know at least two ways out of every room. Draw a map of your home showing all the doors and windows. Discuss the plan with everyone in your home.
  • Have an outside meeting place at a safe distance from the home.
  • Practice your home fire drill twice a year, once at night and once during the day.
  • Practice using different ways out.
  • Teach children how to escape on their own.
  • Close doors behind you as you leave.
  • If the smoke alarm sounds, GET OUT AND STAY OUT. Never go back inside for people or pets.
  • If you must escape through smoke, GET LOW AND GO under the smoke.
  • Call 911 from outside the house.
