Safety Trailer
Put Education first when it has to do with your kids.
Bismarck Fire and Inspections Department has a new learning tool for KIDS. The safety house is a hands on learning tool that gives children and their family’s the skills and knowledge they need to create safer homes and communities.
It is a mobile classroom featuring real life hazards, like smoke and heat. This creates an environment that provides children with the knowledge needed to prevent fires and steps to follow if they find themselves in a fire situation.
To schedule a tour or use it at one of your events, the department would like a 3-week notice. During the summer months the safety trailer is used quite often and adequate staff needs to be provided to make sure the full effect of the safety education session is shared with our young children today.
If your group or organization is interested in using the safety house, please contact the Bismarck Fire Department, Administration office at (701) 355.1400. Safety Trailer

Fire Prevention Week
It's Fire Prevention Week - October 5 - 11, 2008
The Bismarck Fire and Inspections Department is joining the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) and other safety advocates this fall to remind children and adults about practicing your fire escape plan.
During National Fire Prevention Week, October 5 - 11, 2008 attention is focused on promoting fire safety and prevention, however we should practice fire safety all year long. Many potential fire hazards go undetected because people simply do not take steps to fireproof their home.
Many bedroom fires are caused by misuse or poor maintenance of electrical devices, careless use of candles, smoking in bed, and children playing with matches and lighters. Most potential hazards can be addressed with a little common sense. For example, be sure to keep flammable items like bedding, clothes and curtains at least three feet away from portable heaters or lit candles, and never smoke in bed. Also, items like appliances or electric blankets should not be operated if they have frayed power cords, and electrical outlets should never be overloaded.
Fire Safety Checklist:
Install and maintain a working smoke alarm outside of every sleep area and remember to change the battery at least once a year.
Designate two escape routes from each bedroom and practice them regularly.
Teach everyone the "Stop, Drop, and Roll" technique in case clothing catches on fire.
Avoid storing old mattresses in the home or garage.
Teach kids that matches, lighters and candles are tools, not toys. If you suspect that a child is playing with fire, check under beds and in closets for telltale signs like burned matches. Matches and lighters should be stored in a secure drawer or cabinet.
To escape safely from a house fire you have to make sure everyone in the home has practiced the plan.
Don't forget! Everyone must practice to know what to do. A fire may break out in your home day or night.
In all cases, make sure everyone evacuates the house.
Call 911 and report the fire.
If the fire is still very small, you can use a fire extinguisher to try and put it out. But if the fire gets out of control, get out of the house and wait for the fire department to arrive.
