How to be fire safe in your home & put the freeze on winter fires!

Did you know that winter is the leading time for home fires in the US? Heating, cooking, and holiday decorations all contribute to an increased risk of fire during the winter months. How well do you know your fire extinguisher? How will you safely evacuate your home in a fire, if your only route out is via a second story window? In this 40 minute video, you’ll learn how to prepare your home with fire prevention in mind—how to mitigate fire risk and identify common home hazards. You'll also learn what actions to take to avoid injury, when and how to use an extinguisher, and how to exit structures safely. This program is brought to you by Cedar Hills Ready! Quake Up! Special thanks to Deputy Fire Marshal Stephanie McKee from Tualatin Valley Fire & Rescue for presenting this program and generously sharing her extensive knowledge with us.
