Tragically.manyof them would be alive or unharmed today had their home been equipped with a working smoke detector. A working smoke detector cuts the risk of dying in a home fire by nearly half by providing an early warning and critical extra seconds to escape. The problem is that, although 82 percent of American homes have smoke detectors, nearly one-third don't work because of worn or miss ing batteries. To reduce and prevent home fire tragedies in our community, Warm Springs Fire and Safely has joined forces with the International Asso ciation of Fire Chiefs and Encrgizcr batteries for a compelling and effec tive national home fire safety cam paign called "Change Your Clock, Change Your Battery." Our message is simple and potentially lifesaving: change the batteries in your smoke detector when youchangcyourclock back from daylight-saving time. To help you remember, at 6 p.m. on Saturday, October 24, we will activate emergency sirens of all kinds throughout our community. As wc sound the alarm on smoke detector neglect, we will be among thousands of other fire departments nationwide participating in the country's first national fire safety drill, "Operation Check and Change". When you hear the sirens, check and change the batteries in your smoke detectors and take a few other fire safety prevention measures, such as checking your smoke detector it self by pushing the test button, plan ning "two ways out" and practicing these escape routes with your family. Remember, "Change Your Clock, Change Your Battery". It could save your life. 7 v.: j r- t It's time to fall back Set your clocks back one hour to Standard Time October 25 Homecoming Buff Burger BBQ Friday, October 23 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. MHS Football Stadium Hamburgers and hot dogs available Proceeds for 1993 Drug- and Alcohol-Free Graduation Party Halloween safety tips offered Costumes, candy, ghosts and goblins...Hallowecn is almost here! Ensure your children have a safe and happy Halloween by using the fol lowing tips: Kids should always be accom panied by an adult. w Carry a flashlight. w Only go to homes that are well lit. Never go into houses where you do not know the occupants. Props, (i.e. guns, swords, knives) should be made out of styrofoam or cardboard. Jack-o-Lanterns with candles should be placed away from any flammable. Costumes: Keep costumes simple. Long and fancy ones may cause you to trip. "Buy flame resistant costumes or make them from flame resistant material. "Buy or make costumes of white or light colored material, to be easily seen at night Reflectorized patches or strips should be added to costumes or treat bags. Use non-allergic face paint in stead of masks, which can block vi sion. Wigs and hats should be worn well off the face and be securely fastened so they will not slip over your face. Wear regular street shoes. Those homes who arc receiving trick-or-treaters should remove any thing that could cause children to trip and fall.
