This is a true story of a fire incident that really occurred, not to me, but it really did happen.  It was a very serious situation and it changed the way that a lot of people thought about fire alarms.   While most fire alarms are set off by accident, no fire alarm activation should be taken too lightly.  

Fire safety is something that everyone needs to be aware of 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year.  Do not wait until it is too late, practice fire safety every day!  If you have any questions or comments about this article, or any other fire safety subject, please feel free to call the Fire Company at 215-646-2555 or stop into either fire station any Monday night.  The Fire Prevention Committee is available to present programs upon request.
