The Danbury Fire Marshal’s Office has been out this month teaching fire prevention to elementary school students.  They also gave out a homework assignment to help Danbury households to be prepared.  The Fire Marshals asked if families had a home escape plan, including two ways out of each room and a family meeting place outside, and then to practice it.  Students were asked to check if their house or apartment number was visible so emergency responders can find it quickly.  Lastly, they were asked if there are working smoke alarms in each bedroom, outside every sleeping area and on every floor of the home.  At least one carbon monoxide detector should also be in the home, especially if the heating system uses fossil fuels like oil or natural gas.
