Freedom From Fire

This website sponored by Citizens' for Fire Prevention Committee

Welcome to "Freedom from Fire"

Dear Fellow Philadelphian:

Nothing is more important to the Philadelphia Fire Department than the safety of the citizens we are sworn to protect from the ravages of fire. I urge you to help the Philadelphia Fire Department put a stop to fires that are truly preventable by simply following a few easy suggestions. The Philadelphia Fire Department distributes a designed "Home Fire Safety Checklist" based on the many things that you can do to make your home safer. Each YES means you are helping to prevent a fire and possibly save a life.

Next you should plan and practice how to escape your home so you and your family will know what to do should your home catch fire. Most importantly, you should have working smoke alarms on every level of your home thereby providing you and your loved ones the early warning to implement your escape plan.

Remember that working smoke alarms along with planning and practicing your "Home Escape Plan" may mean the difference between life and death!

Commissioner Lloyd Ayers
