Fire Escape Planning

Pull together everyone in your household and make a plan. Walk through your home and inspect all possible exits and escape routes. Households with children should consider drawing a floor plan of your home, marking two ways out of each room, including windows and doors. Also, mark the location of each smoke alarm.
NFPA 2016
Start your plan here.

Smoke Alarms

Smoke alarms save lives. If there is a fire in your home, smoke spreads fast and you need smoke alarms to give you time to get out. Having a working smoke alarm cuts the chances of dying in a reported fire in half. Almost two-thirds of home fire deaths resulted from fires in homes with no smoke alarms or no working smoke alarms.
Here's what you need to know!
Install smoke alarms in every bedroom, outside each sleeping area and on every level of your home.
Test your smoke alarms every month.
When a smoke alarm sounds, get outside and stay outside.
Replace all smoke alarms in your home every 10 years.

Carbon Monoxide

Often called the invisible killer, carbon monoxide is an odorless, colorless gas created when fuels (such as gasoline, wood, coal, natural gas, propane, oil, and methane) burn incompletely. In the home, heating and cooking equipment that burn fuel are potential sources of carbon monoxide. Vehicles or generators running in an attached garage can also produce dangerous levels of carbon monoxide.
Facts & figures
The dangers of CO exposure depend on a number of variables, including the victim's health and activity level. Infants, pregnant women, and people with physical conditions that limit their body's ability to use oxygen (i.e. emphysema, asthma, heart disease) can be more severely affected by lower concentrations of CO than healthy adults would be.
A person can be poisoned by a small amount of CO over a longer period of time or by a large amount of CO over a shorter amount of time.

Wow people cant drive

I’ve never seen a building hit so many times

Well... No bologna and egg samiches for awhile. And that gas station is the community convenience store, breakfast grill, and chicken gizzard store. Gas is a sidecar.

It was they sold it

Seen that I didn’t know that it was the Oakdale store

Maybe they were breaking in?

Bobby Burchell did you know about this?

Andrea Beaty Schmidt

Michelle Mullis-Hale this isnt Joann car is it. Check in her

Chris Garcia

Looks like someone either had a medical issue or can’t drive! Lol!!

This picture needs to be a reminder to use extreme caution while driving, especially in wet conditions. The white van was involved in an earlier MVA that we worked on I-77 at I-485. The van was positioned off the roadway and PD was blocking the scene when the grey car skidded off the roadway and struck the van, narrowly missing the PD officer.

Please remember to slow down and move over for emergency vehicles operating on the roadways. It’s for our safety and it’s also the LAW!
