    Focus on People with Disabilities
    Each year an estimated 2,655 deaths and 13,025 injuries occur as the result of residential building fires. The risk of death or injury from fire is even greater for people with physical, mental, or sensory disabilities. Declining mobility, health, sight, and hearing may limit a person’s ability to take the quick action necessary to escape during a fire emergency.

    Focus on Fire Safety: Children
    Did you know that 50 percent of child fire deaths affect those under the age of 5? Escaping from a fire can be difficult for very young children because they generally lack the motor skills and mental capabilities needed to quickly escape a burning building.

Fire Safety Education
Wednesday, 08 September 2010 18:41

The Battlefield Fire District will visit your business, school, daycare, residential facility or church for a fire safety education opportunity.  Trying a new plan when an emergnecy occurs is not the best way to be prepared.  Knowing what to do in an emergency and what to expect when an actual emergency occurs is invaluable.

  • Where will the fire trucks be positioned on your property for an emergency?
  • How long do you have to evacuate a building?
  • Should you evacuate if the fire alarm goes off?
  • Why do so many fire trucks show up for a fire?
  • Why does the fire truck respond with the ambulance to a medical call?

Questions like these can be answered during our visit along with fire safety education for your business, church, daycare, school or residential facility.  Different people and places have specific needs.  Visit the "Contact" page and put "Fire Safety Education" in the subject line or you can call our offices and talk with our staff today 417-881-9018.
