Smoke is the major killer in home fires...............

Working smoke alarms cut the risk of dying in a home fire by 50%, and that's important, because a home fire starts every 83 seconds! The faster you know about a fire, the faster you can start moving your family outside.

Carbon Monoxide detectors are just as important.............
Carbon monoxide (CO) is the leading cause of accidental poisoning deaths in America, yet many people don't know they are suffering from CO poisoning until it's too late. Since symptoms of CO poisoning are like the flu, you might not even know you're in danger at first. That's why a carbon monoxide alarm is an excellent way to protect your family. It can detect the CO you can't see, smell or taste in the air.

The Bogota Fire Department urges you to install and maintain working smoke detectors on every level of your home.
  Prevention Tip

Smoking in bed KILLS - a recent Bogota fire proves this fact. With Bogota's Emergemcy Services quick response, a fatality was prevented.
You Can Only Do It Once !
What you CAN do in bed...
  • You can read.
  • You can rest.
  • You can make phone calls.
  • You can eat breakfast (or anything).
  • You can watch television.
  • You can listen to music.
  • You can exercise.
  • You can snore.
  • And yes, you can snuggle (consensually).
But don't ever light up a cigarette when you're in bed.
If you doze off just once, YOUR DEAD, and a firefighter may lose his life trying to get your dead body.
