PTFD Open House
The 27th Plain Township Fire Department’s Annual Open House was held on Sunday, September 29, 2024.
Hundreds of residents visited the firehouse to meet the firefighters, explore the fire trucks, learn Hands-Only CPR, learn how to use a fire extinguisher, and enjoy a bowl of fire-house chili!
A special thank you to the following organizations that helped to make our event such a success:
AEP
Columbia Gas
Franklin County Sheriff
NAPD
Central Ohio Antique Fire Apparatus Association
SWACO
The Annual Open House is held in conjunction with the national Fire Prevention Week. The Fire Department wants to remind our neighbors that cooking fires are the number one cause of home fires and home fire injuries. Make sure you cook with caution, have working smoke alarms in your home, and practice your fire escape plan.
PTFD 2022 Open House in Review!
The Plain Township Fire Department wants to share these key home fire escape planning tips:
- Make sure your plan meets the needs of all your family members, including those with sensory or physical disabilities.
- Smoke alarms should be installed inside every sleeping room, outside each separate sleeping area, and on every levelof your home. Smoke alarms should be interconnected so when one sounds, they all sound.
- Know at least two ways out of every room, if possible. Make sure all doors and windows open easily.
- Have an outside meeting place a safe distance from your home where everyone should meet.
- Practice your home fire drill at least twice a year with everyone in the household, including guests. Practice at least once during the day and at night.
