Fire Prevention WeekOctober 9-15, 2022Join NFPA® in celebrating the 100th anniversary of Fire Prevention Week™ (FPW). This year’s campaign, “Fire won’t wait. Plan your escape," works to educate everyone about simple but important actions they can take to keep themselves and those around them safe from home fires. Today’s homes burn faster than ever. You may have as little as two minutes (or even less time) to safely escape a home fire from the time the smoke alarm sounds. Your ability to get out of a home during a fire depends on early warning from smoke alarms and advance planning. Home fire escape planning and practicingIt is important for everyone to plan and practice a home fire escape. Everyone needs to be prepared in advance so they know what to do when the smoke alarm sounds. Given that every home is different, every home fire escape plan will also be different. Have a plan for everyone in the home. Children, older adults, and people with disabilities may need assistance to wake up and get out. Make sure that someone will help them! “Fire Won’t Wait. Plan Your Escape”
