Aitkin County relies on us to restore fire damage.

Our local Aitkin, Carlton, and West St. Louis Counties teams want everyone to take steps to protect their loved ones and homes from fire. Residential Fire Awareness Month is typically observed in October and is dedicated to educating the public about fire prevention in residential settings. This year's focus is on raising awareness about smoke alarm safety and fire safety planning, and encouraging individuals and families to take steps to reduce these risks.

One of the most critical aspects of fire safety is having a well-practiced home fire escape plan. A good escape plan includes knowing at least two ways out of every room, having a designated safe meeting spot outside, and ensuring that everyone in the household, including children and elderly family members, knows how to evacuate quickly and safely.

Families should regularly practice their escape plans so every member is familiar with the route in case of an emergency. It's also essential to ensure doors and windows aren't blocked and children understand the importance of escaping the house rather than hiding. A practiced escape plan can make all the difference during a fire emergency, allowing families to evacuate quickly and avoid harm.
