Throwback Thursday! Who remembers the Tot Finder window stickers?

While the Fire Marshal's officials do not recommend the use of these stickers any longer, there are things you can do to ensure quick escape from *every* bedroom in the home:

🚒 Make a plan! Inspect all possible exits and escape routes.

🚒 Make sure the escape routes are clear and doors and windows can be opened easily.

🚒 Choose an outside meeting place (i.e. neighbor's house, a light post, mailbox, or stop sign) a safe distance in front of your home.

🚒 Be fully prepared for a real fire: when a smoke alarm sounds, get out immediately.

🚒 Tell guests or visitors to your home about your family's fire escape plan.

🚩 Red Flag Warning Remains in Effect: Extreme Fire Danger in Connecticut 🚩

🚩🚩 The Norwalk Fire Marshal Division is reminding residents that Connecticut remains at VERY HIGH to EXTREME fire risk, with no forecasted rainfall over the next week.

🚩🚩 The ban on the use of outdoor grills, firepits, and campfires, and the kindling and use of flame outdoors in all state parks, forests, and wildlife management areas due to statewide severe fire weather conditions remains in effect.

🚩🚩 We are calling on every resident and visitor to recognize the power of their actions in these conditions. Preventing wildfires isn’t only about personal safety—it’s about protecting our neighbors, our communities, and the first responders risking their lives to keep us safe.

The vast majority of Connecticut’s wildfires result from human activities. In these conditions, even a small spark from the following can ignite a wildfire:

🔥 Discarded smoking materials
🔥 ATV and UTV activity especially without spark arresters
🔥 Dragging trailer chains
🔥 Use of outdoor grills
🔥 Campfires
🔥 Power tools and equipment that generate heat or sparks
