“Every home should have a fire escape plan, knowing two ways out of every room, making sure your children know that their job is simply to get out and stay out. Your home should have a meeting place somewhere outside in your front yard — a landmark like a basketball pole or a mailbox — where everyone in your home knows to go to so that way you can keep accountability,” said Matt Reaman, Shawnee Township Fire Prevention Officer.

Bath Township Fire Department paid a visit to local students for Fire Prevention Week. As part of this year's theme of "Not Every Hero Wears a Cape, Plan and Practice Your Escape", the students learned about having a plan when it comes to getting out of their house quickly in case of a fire. While these students may be young, those with Bath Township say that it's never too early to start teaching kids about fire safety.
Firefighters across the country are focusing on students this week for Fire Prevention Week.
