This week is National Fire Prevention Week and the Ottawa Fire Department wants you to be safe in the case of a fire at your house. Captain Dennis Nowatsky says know how to get out of the house should be first priority. If you are downstairs, the door or a window work well, but what if you’re upstairs?
He emphasizes the importance of having a fire escape plan for your family and to practice it. Also, having a meeting place outside will join the family together in an emergency.
