The Crucial Nighttime Habit: Why Closing Your Door Can Save Lives

AtoZ Fire • February 2, 2024

Hello A to Z Fire community!


We hope this message finds you well as we kick off the month with a crucial reminder about fire safety. As avid supporters of Fire Is Everyone’s Fight, we're committed to spreading awareness and ensuring the safety of our community. This February, the focus is on Closed Door Messaging, and we're here to shed light on why closing your door at night can be a life-saving habit.


1. Escaping a Fire:

When faced with a fire emergency, every second counts. One essential piece of advice is to close the door behind you as you make your way to safety. This simple act can help contain the fire, prevent the spread of smoke, and buy you precious time.


2. Unable to Escape:

In the unfortunate event that escape is not an option, getting behind a closed door can provide a crucial barrier between you and the fire. Once there, immediately call 9-1-1 for assistance. Closed doors can be an effective shield, protecting you from the immediate dangers and allowing rescue teams more time to reach you.


3. Close Before You Doze:

An impactful campaign known as #CloseBeforeYouDoze emphasizes the importance of closing your bedroom door before going to sleep. This small habit can make a significant difference, as closed doors act as a barrier, limiting the spread of flames and smoke. It's a simple yet powerful step toward enhancing your safety and that of your loved ones.
