Here at FD13 we want to make sure children and adults are educated in knowing what to do in case of an emergency. Below you will find some good information that will help aid you in teaching your family about fire safety. Once you have reviewed all the information, Practice! Practice! Practice! So everyone in the family knows what to do if that emergency should ever arise. FD13 is here to answer questions or you can come by the Fire House sometime for a tour and see the fire trucks!

Topics:

  • Dial 911
  • Escape Plans
  • Detectors
  • Fire Extinguishers
  • Don’t be afraid!
  • Protect yourself!

Dial 911

If you have an emergency you’re first and #1 priority is to dial 911. This is so we get help to you As Fast as Possible! Know your name and address."www.kfst.com"

Escape Plans

Escape Plan is a picture of your home showing primary and secondary escape exits that leads to your families meeting place. A Meeting Place is some object such as a tree, neighbor’s house, or building that everyone can get to and is out of the danger area. Once at meeting place make sure you have accountability of everyone in the house.

Detectors

It is a good idea to have working smoke detectors in the home especially ones that have battery backup. Our recommendation is to test them once a month and change the batteries when you change your clocks twice a year.

Fire Extinguishers

It is good practice to have fire extinguishers in the home. A good extinguisher for the home is a small ABC extinguisher. A water extinguisher is another good one to have around the home.

When using a fire extinguisher remember PASS:

Don’t be afraid!

Remember! We are there to help and don’t run and hide from us even if we do look a little scary with all our turnout gear on. We wear our gear to protect us while we are searching for you and your family.

Protect yourself!

If you clothes ever catch on fire, Remember Stop, Drop, and Roll.
Stop where you are
Drop to the ground
Roll back and forth and cover your face until the fire is out!

Update on Braxton from Casey
Wow today has been a blur to say the least! We can't thank everyone enough for the love and support we have felt today!! I have been trying to get this kid to laugh most of the day and nothing is working. I even asked him if he wanted his "big booty judy momma" to lay in bed with him and that got a laugh out of him but his answer was NO.
They did a biopsy of the mass to see what they are working with and what his treatment plan was going to look like. They have told us they are pretty sure he has T Cell Non Hodgkin's Lymphoma but will know 100% sure in a few days. That means about 2 years of Chemotherapy and they think with the chemo and steroids, it will shrink the mass. Continue to pray for Brax because Lord knows he needs them! And again we want to thank every person who has reached out to us today during this difficult time!

Urgent prayer request for the Patterson Family.
Matt was a firefighter with Fire District 13 for almost 7 years before going in to the City. His son Braxton is in need of our prayers right now as he is in Surgery to biopsy a fast growing mass in his chest that was found last night. It is expected to be lymphoma and a biopsy was scheduled for Monday, however because of the rapid growth they wanted to start a treatment plan ASAP so he is in surgery now. Please keep this family in your prayers as they go through this shocking and difficult time.
