“Making sure the alarms where you live are working properly is very important and so is understanding the sounds of the alarms and how to respond.” “Smoke and carbon monoxide alarms save lives and are often the first indication of danger,” said Tom O’Hara, public education officer for the Kitchener Fire Department. “What do the sounds mean? Is there a beep or a chirp coming out of your smoke or carbon monoxide alarm? Knowing the difference can save you, your home, and your family,” said Lorraine Carli, vice-president of outreach and advocacy at National Fire Protection Association (NFPA). The Kitchener Fire Department is teaming up with the National Fire Protection Association® (NFPA®)-the official sponsor of Fire Prevention Week for more than 90 years-to promote this year’s Fire Prevention Week TM campaign, “Learn the Sounds of Fire Safety TM.” This year’s campaign, October 3-9, works to educate everyone about simple but important actions they can take to keep themselves and those around them safe.
