BERWYN, PA - The Berwyn Fire Company 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 campaign, “Learn the Sounds of Fire Safety.” This year’s campaign, October 3-9th, works to educate everyone about simple but important actions they can take to keep themselves and those around them safe. “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 NFPA. “It’s important to learn the different sounds of smoke and carbon monoxide alarms. When an alarm makes noise—a beeping sound or a chirping sound—you must take action!” said Eamon Brazunas, Fire Chief. “Make sure everyone in the home understands the sounds of the alarms and knows how to respond. To learn the sounds of your specific smoke and carbon monoxide alarms, check the manufacturer’s instructions that came in the box, or search the brand and model online.” Berwyn Fire Company wants to share safety tips to help you “Learn the Sounds of Fire Safety” • A continuous set of three loud beeps—beep, beep, beep—means smoke or fire. Get out, call 9-1-1, and The Berwyn Fire Company is hosting a series of events in support of this year’s Fire Prevention Week campaign, “Learn the Sounds of Fire Safety”, including the 3rd Annual Main Line Fire Prevention Expo on Saturday, October 16th from 3:00 to 6:00 p.m. at the Devon Horse Show and Country Fair, Inc. located at Lancaster Ave. and Dorset Rd. in Devon.
