MEBANE, N.C., Oct. 5, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- For over 95 years, the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) has raised fire safety awareness during Fire Prevention Week, held annually the first week of October. This year's theme, "Learn the Sounds of Fire Safety," is especially important as Americans spend more time working, studying or recreating in their homes. In support of this vital initiative, Kidde is proud to offer helpful alarm tips and information as part of Carrier's Healthy Homes Program. Kidde is a part of Carrier Global Corporation (NYSE: CARR), a leading global provider of healthy, safe, sustainable and intelligent building and cold chain solutions.
On average, most people spend 90% of their time indoors and a typical American spends 65% of their time in the home1, which is why Carrier's Healthy Homes Program is critical to raising awareness and education on the subject of indoor air quality, health and safety in the home. According to the NFPA, working smoke alarms help to reduce the risk of home fire deaths by 55%. In fact, a study commissioned by Kidde revealed that working smoke alarms double the chance of successful survival. Once a fire starts, occupants have approximately two minutes to escape and being familiar with alarm sounds and taking appropriate action is imperative.
To help families stay safe and have confidence in their home safety, Kidde shares the following tips:
"While you're learning the sounds of safety, make sure to practice escape plans. Families should know how to escape the home in case of an emergency," said Sharon Cooksey, Fire Safety Educator at Kidde. "When escape planning, remember the 2s: Know 2 ways out of every room, practice 2 times per year and 2 times of the day —daytime and nighttime. And don't forget to include pets too!"
Kidde celebrates the mission of the NFPA in promoting important safety messages. For more information about Fire Prevention Week or the "Learn the Sounds of Safety" campaign, please visit nfpa.org/fpw. For more information and lifesaving tips, visit kidde.com.
