šŖ CLOSE BEFORE YOU DOZE š„
These photos shared by the Tulsa Fire Department are a powerful reminder of just how much one closed door can matter during a house fire.
A closed bedroom door can help slow the spread of fire, heat, and deadly smoke, creating a much more survivable environment on the other side. The difference between the rooms in these photos speaks for itself.
At Country Corner Fire Department, we want to reinforce a simple habit that can make a significant difference:
š„ Close your bedroom door when you sleep.
šŖ Close doors behind you if youāre escaping a fire.
šØ Have working smoke alarms inside and outside sleeping areas.
š Have an escape plan ā and practice it with your family.
Fire grows quickly. Small things done before an emergency happens can buy valuable time when seconds matter.
Take a look at Tulsa Fire Departmentās photos below and notice the difference a closed door made.
Close Before You Doze. It really can save a life.
