Fire won't wait, plan your escape!

Fire moves FAST! If a fire were to spark in your home, you could have less than two minutes to get out safely once the smoke alarm sounds.

In celebration of Fire Prevention Week, you're invited to download a home fire escape plan activity, complete it with your household, and submit it for a chance to win an emergency go-kit and a visit with Ventura firefighters. Submit your completed home fire escape plan via email at K9Hope@cityofventura.ca.gov.

Everyone in your home needs to plan and practice a home fire escape so they know what to do in an emergency. Learn more about creating a fire escape plan on our website: www.CityofVentura.ca.gov/FPW.
