October is National Fire Safety Month. To start it off, the Home Safety Council (HSC) teamed with Lowe Saturday to hold security Saturday, September 26, 09, a day of celebration safety.
Lowe's stores nationwide are planning family safety activities focused on education you and your family on how to keep safe from fire and other hazards in the home. Some shops are in partnership with local fire departments to accommodate side by side burn demonstration to show how quickly a home fire spreads and becomes lethal when it is not controlled. The demonstration compares the limited damage in a room which is protected by a sprinkler system in case of fire with the extent of damage that occurs in a room without watering.
Even if you can not attend one of these events, the idea to dedicate a Saturday to make your home safe is pretty good. According to the HSC, the home is the second most common location of unintentional fatal injuries, with engine displacement being the first. About 20% of all fatal accidents occur in the home. The five leading causes of unintentional injury death are falls, poisoning, fire / burns, choking / suffocation, and drowning; Together, these account for 0% of all deaths from unintentional home injuries. And for every death, there are about 650 non-fatal injuries. HSC said that children under 5 years and adults over 70 are the most at risk for home injuries, both fatal and non-fatal.
HSC offers excellent guides step by step security on a variety of topics to help you safety proof your house. They also offer a safety video library for children and adults.
