How to Help Protect Your Home from a Fire

The lessons learned in the are clear and unequivocal. We mourn the loss of the Badger Family and pray for Ms. Badger during this unimaginable horror.

We also owe it to our own families and guests to make safety a more prominent part of our lifestyle. During this week we learned that tragedy always lurks too close and can strike swiftly and without warning. On behalf of every member of the , I encourage every resident to make these four safety-focused New Year’s resolutions:

  1) Resolve to have working smoke detectors in each sleeping area in 

       your home

  2) Resolve to have a working carbon monoxide detector

  3) Resolve to have an emergency plan, meeting place and disaster kit

  4) Resolve not to drive distracted especially by cell phones and texting

The Wilton Fire Department is here to help you be successful keeping these resolutions. If you have questions about a safety plan for your home, how or where to install your smoke or carbon monoxide detector call us and we will help. Call us, because your life and the lives of your loved ones are worth it.
