IN THIS ISSUE Fire Prevention Week Community Festival Supervisors' Meeting Leaf Collection Park & Rec Events Meeting Schedule ‌ ‌ ‌ Fire Expo Tomorrow Night The Centre Square Fire Company's 29th Annual Fire Expo is tomorrow night at the fire station at 1298 Skippack Pike. The Expo features a chance to meet CSFC firefighters, see equipment and enjoy refreshments. The event is from 6:30 p.m. to 9 p.m. The Expo helps kick off Fire Prevention Week from October 3 to October 9. The theme of Fire Prevention Week this year is "Learn the Sounds of Fire Safety." The goal is to educate everyone about the different sounds that smoke and carbon monoxide alarms make. Knowing what to do when an alarm sounds will keep you safe. Remember these tips: Smoke alarm Three loud beeps from a smoke alarm means smoke or fire. Get out, call 9-1-1 and stay out. A single chirp every 30 or 60 seconds from a smoke alarm means the battery is low and must be changed. Carbon monoxide alarm A continuous set of four loud beeps means carbon monoxide is present in your home. Go outside, call 9-1-1 and stay out. A single chirp every 30 or 60 seconds from a carbon monoxide alarm means the battery is low and must be changed. If you hear a beep, get on your feet! Click here for more fire safety information
