October Fire Safety Update: Prepare for the Unexpected
AtoZ Fire • October 1, 2024
As we move deeper into hurricane season, Florida has already been hit hard, and more storms could be on the way. Now is the time to ensure your business is fully equipped to handle any emergencies that may arise. In the wake of severe weather, power outages, and storm damage, fire hazards can increase—so it’s essential to be prepared.
National Fire Prevention Week is Coming! 🔥
This year’s FPW campaign, “Smoke Alarms: Make Them Work for You!”, highlights the critical importance of having functioning smoke alarms in your home or business. 🏠🔔 Smoke alarms can be lifesavers, but only if they’re installed, tested, and replaced properly.
Top Smoke Alarm Tips for National Fire Prevention Week:
- INSTALL Smoke Alarms in Every Bedroom, Outside Sleeping Areas, and on Every Level
This ensures that you and your loved ones are alerted to fire no matter where it may occur in the home. - TEST Your Smoke Alarms Monthly
Press the test button to make sure they’re working. If the alarm doesn’t sound, replace the batteries immediately. - REPLACE Smoke Alarms Every 10 Years. Even if they seem to work, older alarms might not be as reliable. If you can’t remember the last time you changed them, it’s probably time to swap them out!
Stop by Our Largo Office 🚒
We’re also inviting everyone to stop by our Largo office to check out our vintage fire truck and grab some fun fire safety memorabilia. We’ll have stickers, hats, coloring books, and toy fire extinguishers available—perfect for families and fire safety enthusiasts!

Cooler, drier weather and increased indoor activities make it a crucial time to assess your fire safety readiness. Here are some practical tips to start the new year with safety in mind:

Reflecting on Fire Prevention Week & Real-World Fire Safety Lessons
Just last week, a two-alarm structure fire broke out in a warehouse on 59th Way N. in Largo, sending crews rushing to the scene at 4:15 a.m. Heavy smoke and flames engulfed the building as firefighters worked tirelessly to bring the blaze under control. Thankfully, no one was inside at the time of the fire, but one brave firefighter was hospitalized for evaluation. Our thoughts are with the firefighter and their family, and we hope for a speedy recovery.
Running a restaurant involves more than just great food—safety is key. This September, A to Z Fire is offering up to 15% off all sales and services for alarm panels and hood suppression systems to help keep your restaurant safe.
This past Saturday, Clearwater rescue crews responded to a fire aboard a yacht near Coachman Park's waterfront. Thankfully, the two individuals on board were rescued without injury, but the incident highlights the importance of being prepared for emergencies on the water.
