Fire safety

POLAND — Local firefighters, along with researchers from Underwriters Laboratory and firefighters from the Chicago Fire Department, will host a seminar from 7 to 9 p.m. Friday,  Sept. 24, at Poland Regional High School. The seminar will educate families on how to recognize the fire danger their home is exposed to, and ways to better protect themselves in the event of a fire.

Modern lightweight construction techniques combined with modern furnishings contribute to fires that consume residential homes within minutes. For those who own or live in a home that was built or remodeled within the last decade, the home may be very likely “built to burn.” The seminar is open to the public.
