It’s National Fire Prevention Week! 🔥
For people with hearing loss, fire safety may require a little extra planning, especially at night when hearing aids are often removed.
Smoke alarms and fire alert systems are available with features like low-frequency sound, flashing or strobe lights, and bed shakers to help make sure an emergency alert doesn’t go unnoticed.
Take some time this week to make sure your home’s fire safety plan works for everyone in your household. You can also check with your local fire department to see if they’re hosting an open house or community event for Fire Prevention Week. It’s a great opportunity to ask questions, learn about local resources and brush up on fire safety.
