Have ways to get out of secured windows and doors

October is home fire prevention month so all month long SERVPRO® of Tigard/Tualatin be bringing you tips and information from the Red Cross on how to prevent fire and save lives. Each year, the Red Cross responds to nearly 64,000 disasters, the majority of which are home fires resulting in about 7 deaths and 36 injuries every day and over $7 billion in property damage every year. The Red Cross recommends using quick-release devices on barred windows and doors. Security bars without release devises can trap you in a deadly fire. If you have security bars on your windows, be sure one window in each sleeping room as a release device.
