Another fatal multi victim house fire in Richmond metro area. Sunday a house fire in South Richmond claimed the life of a mother and two young children. This house had NO working smoke detectors. Please take steps to protect yourself and your family. This was after another multi victim fatal fire in Chesterfield. In total in Virginia already this year there have been at least 40 fire deaths in residential buildings.
Please think about these fire safety tips.
1) working smoke detectors for each floor minimum
2) that everyone in the home knows multiple ways out of the home and a safe place to meet to do a headcount (neighbors mailbox)
3) practice practice practice this plan whether your a family with kids or a bunch or roommates make sure everyone knows what the smoke
Alarms sound like and practice getting out to your meeting spot
4) get a home fire extinguisher for the kitchen and/or garage know how to use said item
5) close all doors at night while you sleep. This will limit smoke and heat movement in a home during a fire
6) get a landline (I know I know) but when it's 2:30am your smoke alarm goes off and your hallway is filled with pitch black smoke trying to stay calm enough to provide accurate address and location information To dispatch can be tough. With a landline you don't even need to talk for them to know where you are. So when you live on Flynn rd in chesterfield not Flynn dr in Richmond the units can get their faster.
If you can't afford or install a smoke alarm call your local fire department they will be happy to help.
