Implement a Fire Safety Plan

In the last few weeks we have had two major fires in Westford. With families losing their homes and what is worst, losing their beloved pets. All families should have a fire and safety escape plan in case of a fire. On a regular basis a family should have a fire drill. Make sure everyone, especially small children can exit easily. Designate a safe meeting place away from your home once evacuated, such as a near the lamp post or mail box. All homes should also have a fire extinguisher on each level of the home and know how to use it. In the upper levels have a fire escape ladder in each bedroom. You can purchase those at a store like Home Depot. They are not expensive. Install a dual sensor smoke alarm that can detect high flames as well as smoky fires. While your at it make sure you have a carbon monoxide detector as well. We also feel that it is very important to have a sticker on your door stating how many pets you have in your home. The fireman will then be aware and let them out if possible. In most cases fires start when the family is not home and the pets can not let themselves out. We are huge animal lovers especially our canine family member Cooper and our little feline friend Frankie. Untill next Monday please stay safe.
And oh by the way...we are never too busy for your referrals.
