Prepare homes for safe holiday

The Russellville Fire Department is encouraging residents to make sure their homes are safe for their families and holiday visitors for a fun and festive season.

Smoke alarms

  • Install smoke alarms in every bedroom and sleeping area and on every level of the house, on the ceiling or high on a wall.
  • The National Fire Protection Association recommends using interconnected smoke alarms and using both photoelectric and ionization models.
  • People who are hard of hearing or deaf can use special alarms with strobe lights and bed shakers.

Fire escape plans

  • When making a home fire escape plan, draw a map showing all doors and windows and discuss the plan with everyone in the home.
  • Know at least two ways out of every room if possible, and make sure all doors and windows to the outside open easily.
  • Designate an outside meeting place that is a safe distance from the house.
  • Teach children how to escape if they are on their own and close the doors as they are exited.
