Fire Prevention Week 2021
"Learn the Sounds of Fire Safety"
This year’s Fire Safety campaign, October 3-9th, works to educate everyone about simple but important actions they can take to keep themselves and those around them safe. What do the sounds mean? Is there a beep or a chirp coming out of your smoke or carbon monoxide alarm? Knowing the difference can save you, your home, and your family.
It’s important to learn the different sounds of smoke and carbon monoxide alarms. When an alarm makes noise—a beeping sound or a chirping sound—you must take action! Make sure everyone in the home understands the sounds of the alarms and knows how to respond. To learn the sounds of your specific smoke and carbon monoxide alarms, check the manufacturer’s instructions that came in the box, or search the brand and model online.
The Youngsville FD wants to share safety tips to help you “Learn the Sounds of Fire Safety”
- A continuous set of three loud beeps—beep, beep, beep—means smoke or fire. Get out, call 9-1-1, and stay out.
- A single chirp every 30 or 60 seconds means the battery is low and must be changed.
- All smoke alarms must be replaced after 10 years.
- Chirping that continues after the battery has been replaced means the alarm is at the end of its life and the unit must be replaced.
- Make sure your smoke and CO alarms meet the needs of all your family members, including those with sensory or physical disabilities.

YFD Memorial Stair Climb to honor 9/11
To honor the ultimate sacrifice made by the 343 FDNY firefighters, and numerous other public safety responders and civilians; the YFD crew honored them today by making a representative 110 story stair climb at Station #1 (to replicate the climb by responders in the WTC). Although we only have 1 flight of stairs, they climbed up (and down) 132 times to equal the number of steps the fearless firefighters took 19 years ago this morning. Folks, that a total of 1980 steps! It's an awesome tribute by our guys and we are proud of them and are also humbled to honor the fallen. (Pictured L to R: FF J. Caldwell, Lt. H. Fuller, FF C. Pruitt, FF S. Knowles). (Sept 11, 2020)

Please take precautions and keep yourself and family safe during these these hot days.
Heat is the #1 weather-related killer in the United States! Here are a few tips on staying safe during episodes of dangerously hot weather:
- First and foremost, minimize your time outside, especially during the hottest parts of the day. Stay in an air-conditioned building.
- If you must be outside, wear light-colored and loose-fitting clothing.
- Drink plenty of water or natural juices if you are out in the heat, even if you do not fell thirsty. Avoid alcoholic or caffeinated beverages.
- Think about others! NEVER leave children in a car on even a moderately warm day as conditions in the car can quickly heat to unhealthy levels.
- Check on the elderly or other people at risk.
