There may only be a few instances in life where “every second counts,” with getting out of a burning building certainly being one of them. And that’s the theme of this year’s “Fire Prevention Week” in East Windsor.
“Because of flames, noxious and deadly smoke and fumes, every second does count,” said East Windsor Vol. Fire Co. 2 Chief Mario Batista. “It’s critically important to plan two ways out of any structure, whether it’s from your home, your apartment or even where you work. Know where all the exits are at all times.”
Chief Batista said more information will be available this weekend at Fire Co. 2 headquarters on Twin Rivers Drive during an open house from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 14. There will be fire extinguisher training, blood pressure screening, smoke alarm giveaways, fire truck rides, and an opportunity to meet “Sparky the Fire Dog.”
