The theme for this year is “Fire won’t wait plan your escape!”

This is the key message of this year's Fire Prevention Week campaign which is from October 9th – 15th.

This theme highlights the importance of working together with people with whom you live and work to be better prepared to prevent and survive a fire in your home or workplace. You should be testing your smoke alarms once a month and replacing them every ten years. If the alarm system sounds, take it seriously and exit the building immediately. Close doors behind you as you leave. Once you get outside, stay outside. Never go back inside a burning building. At Bridgewater United:

1. Evacuate the building via the nearest exit; if you are the last one to leave the building be sure to close the door.
2. Proceed to the front lawn on Hillcrest Street, under the trees by the picnic tables.
3. Do not return to the building or leave the property until instructed by fire officials.
4. Fire Warden will be the only liaison between the fire officials and the Church.
