The more information we can get, the better,” said Insley. “So that we’re not trying to figure it out when we get there. And that helps. That buys us vital time that then we can focus on other things once we’re on scene.”<\/p>\n
Firefighters said they have installed more than 200 smoke detectors for residents.<\/p>\n
Insley has some advice for residents to make the installation process smoother.<\/p>\n
“Sometimes it’s a little difficult to get through hallways, navigate bedrooms, things like that. So just kind of clearing things out, making sure we have good paths to walk through while we’re doing the installs. That’s the biggest thing, and also for homeowners: to have a basic understanding of where their mechanicals are in the home,” said Insley.<\/p>\n
Along with your working smoke detectors, you’re also reminded to close your bedroom doors at night, using the “close before you doze program”.<\/p>\n
“It manages to keep the heat and smoke out for a pretty decent amount of time, which gives us the opportunity to get there, and if we have to effect rescue, come in and get you,” Hennings said.<\/p>\n
“The faster that the residents know, the faster they can get out, the faster they can notify us, the faster we can get there to help,” Insley added.<\/p>\n
