A house or business could easily burn down in the time it takes for firefighters to dig out a hydrant buried in this much snow. You know where your nearest fire hydrant is. If you can’t see it today, it’s time to dig it out.

On 2/23/91 a fire at One Meridan Plaza in Philly killed 3 ffs. Workers left oil-soaked rags which ignited & then set fire to nearby solvents. Efforts were hampered by loss of power to the bldg & improperly adjusted pressure release valves on standpipes. #FireHistory #NeverForget

Have a qualified professional clean and inspect your chimney and vents every year. #HeatingFireSafety #FireSafetyTips #FirePrevention

See your neighborhood fire hydrant? If you don’t, it’s time to grab a shovel and get to work. Clear 3 feet around your hydrant and create a path to the street. If firefighters have to do it when they arrive at a fire, there could be devastating consequences. #RevealTheRed

When you enter your hotel or motel room, review the escape plan posted in your room. Count the number of doors between your room and the exit. #HotelFireSafety #FireSafetyTips #BeSafe
