KFR encourages emergency preparation during Fire Prevention Week
KAMLOOPS — Every second counts.
That’s the message Kamloops Fire Rescue is spreading during Fire Prevention Week.
“They say you have as little as two minutes to get out of a house fire,” said Life Safety Educator Lyle Weninger. “You don’t want to wake up in the middle of the night and try to think of what you’re going to do if there’s a fire, you want to know exactly what you’re going to do, and react quickly.”
KFR has delivered 5,200 pamphlets to elementary students across the city, encouraging families to create a fire escape plan for their homes, complete with two ways out of every room.
