Tyler Fire Department participates in Fire Prevention Week

TYLER — The Tyler Fire Department is teaming up with the National Fire Protection Association, focusing on smoke and carbon monoxide alarms, to promote this year’s Fire Prevention Week campaign, “Learn the Sounds of Fire Safety.” According to a news release, this year’s campaign from October 3 through October 9 works to educate everyone about simple but important actions they can take to keep themselves and those around them safe. The department is sharing several tips. Among them: A continuous set of three loud beeps means smoke or fire. Get out, call 9-1-1, and stay out. Also, a single chirp every 30 or 60 seconds means the battery is low and must be changed. And all smoke alarms must be replaced after 10 years. Click here for more information.
