D = Do Not Assume!

We live in a society full of people who have a devastating thought process.

“It will not happen to me!”

The worst way to live is to assume, “It will not happen to me!”   By having this thought process, you may be injured or worse, lose your life.

Leela Rani Choudary died in a fire which began by an unattended candle.

Twenty-one-year-old Morrell Bush died in a fire which began by her roommate falling asleep on the couch after putting something to cook on the stove.

60-year-old Miriam Notaro died in a fire due to careless smoking.

I could honestly go on and go… there is no shortage of similar tragedies across the world wide web where someone did not heed fire prevention safety tips. We can find such reports on a DAILY basis.

Despite the efforts of Fire & Life Safety Educators across the world, people are still dying in preventable fires. YES! Preventable fires…..
