On Tuesday, Trion Firefighters provided fire safety tips to the residents of the Breakers apartments in Trion.
Residents were told:
Wear short or tight-fitting sleeves while cooking as loose sleeves easily catch fire.
Stand by your cooking and never leave it unattended.
Put a lid on the stove top to put a fire out.
If your clothes catch on fire, lower yourself to the ground, cover your eyes and roll to put out the flames.
You should have at least one fire extinguisher near every fire hazard, whether it be the kitchen, the fireplace, wood stove or your furnace room.
Make sure your fire extinguishers are full and operational.
If there’s a fire that’s too hard to control, get out.
Create a fire escape plan and familiarize yourself with it. You should know the exits from your house or apartment as well as how to get out of your building. Make sure your designated escape door can be easily accessible when rushed and visibility is poor.
