Protective Measures

Here are some tips for employers provided by the Fire Equipment Manufacturers' Association:

• Have regular fire safety meetings and review evacuation procedures.

• Post emergency numbers.

• Know where to find standpipe fire hose stations, fire extinguishers and other equipment.

• Hold a training event with the fire department.

• Be sure all fire equipment is up-to-date and maintained.

Finally, never forget-always call the fire department first.

Save lives and protect property by learning how to fight a fire, but only when it is small and contained and everyone is safe.

• Consider online training at www.rackhosetraining.com, www.fireextinguisher.com and www.firesystemstraining.org
