Iselin District 9 will kick off our annual Fire Prevention Week activities on Friday October 5th. Fire Prevention Week activities include visits to local office buildings, schools, and day care centers to review fire safety information and conduct fire drills. There will also be an Open House at House 1 on October 10 and at House 2 on October 11, both starting at 7 PM.

The reality is that when fire strikes, your home could be engulfed in smoke and flames in just a few minutes. It is important to have a home fire escape plan that prepares your family to think fast and get out quickly when the smoke alarm sounds. What if your first escape route is blocked by smoke or flames? That's why having two ways out is such a key part of your plan. This year's theme,"Have 2 Ways Out!", focuses on the importance of fire escape planning and practice.
