Domino's® to Deliver Fire Safety Messages with the National Fire Protection Association during Fire Prevention Week
During Fire Prevention Week (
Customers who order from participating Domino's stores throughout the U.S. during Fire Prevention Week may also be surprised when their delivery arrives aboard a fire engine. If the smoke alarms in the home are working, the pizza is free. If the smoke alarms are not working, the firefighters will replace the batteries or install fully-functioning detectors.
"Three out of five home fire deaths result from fires in homes with no smoke alarms or no working smoke alarms," said
According to the NFPA, having a working smoke alarm cuts the risk of dying in a home fire in half.
"The Fire Prevention Week program is a great way to educate customers about fire safety," said
Fire Safety Tips from Domino's and NFPA
- Install a smoke alarm in every bedroom, outside each sleeping area and on every level of your home, including the basement. (Larger homes may need more alarms.)
- Half of all home fire deaths result from fires reported
between 11 p.m. and 7 a.m. , when most people are asleep. - Test your smoke alarms monthly to make sure they're working.
- Create a home fire escape plan that includes two ways out of each room and a meeting place outside in front of the home.
- Practice your plan with all members of your household twice a year.
- Learn the emergency number for your fire department.
- If the smoke alarm sounds, get outside and stay outside. Call the fire department from outside the home using a cell or neighbor's phone.
