Enterprise Volunteer Fire Company

PARENTS, If you're interested in bringing an organized group in please contact us at least a week before the date you wish to visit. Please note that as a fire company our responsibility lies with the fire safety needs of our community and your visit may be inturupted if there is a call for fire department services.

Fire is an important part of our lives. We use it to cook food and to keep warm when it's cold. But, if uncontrolled, fire can be very dangerous and bring injury, or even death, to those we love.

Smart fire safety kids always remember:

Never play with matches or with a cigarette lighter; and keep them away from your sisters, brothers and friends.

Make sure your house has a smoke detector; ask the grown-ups in your house to check it often to make sure it's working.

Ask your family if they will help you come up with an escape plan to get everyone out of the house in case of a fire or other emergency.

If you see a fire breaking out, quickly tell an adult and leave right away.

If the smoke is bad, cover your mouth with a cloth, or your shirt; crawl low on the floor until you get to the door or window that you can open.

While trying to exit the house during a fire, always touch doors with the back of your hand to see if they are hot before you open them. If the door is hot, don't open it; go out the other way in your escape plan. If the door is cool, open it slowly and check to see whether it's safe and clear to keep going that way.

If your clothes are on fire, remember; do not run, stop, drop to the ground, cover your face with your hands and roll until the flames go out.

DO NOT GO BACK INSIDE; wait outside at the spot where your family members will meet you.

Know how to call for emergency assistance.
