ANN ARBOR, Mich., Oct. 3, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- For the ninth
consecutive year, Domino's Pizza (NYSE: DPZ), the recognized
world leader in pizza delivery, and the National Fire
Protection Association (NFPA) are teaming up to deliver fire safety
messages to homes across the nation.
During Fire Prevention Week (Oct.
9-15), participating Domino's stores throughout the U.S.
will reinforce this year's campaign theme, "Don't Wait – Check the
Date! Replace Smoke Alarms Every 10 Years," on top of pizza boxes.
The fliers will include fire safety facts and tips, such as
educating customers about the importance of checking the
manufacture date on the back of smoke alarms and replacing them
when they are 10 years old.
Customers who order from participating Domino's stores
throughout the U.S. during Fire Prevention Week may also be
surprised when their delivery arrives aboard a fire engine. If the
smoke alarms in the home are working, the pizza is free. If the
smoke alarms are not working, the firefighters will replace the
batteries or install fully-functioning detectors.
"Three out of five home fire deaths result from fires in homes
with no smoke alarms or no working smoke alarms," said Judy Comoletti, NFPA's divisional manager of
public education. "That's why checking the manufacture date on the
back of smoke alarms and testing them monthly are so important.
Working smoke alarms give people the time needed to escape
safely."
According to the NFPA, having a working smoke alarm cuts the
risk of dying in a home fire in half.
"The Fire Prevention Week program is a great way to educate
customers about fire safety," said Jenny
Fouracre, Domino's spokeswoman. "Every year, Domino's stores
across the country look forward to teaming up with their local fire
departments and NFPA to spread fire safety messages in a fun and
exciting way."
Fire Safety Tips from Domino's and NFPA
- Install a smoke alarm in every bedroom, outside each sleeping
area and on every level of your home, including the basement.
(Larger homes may need more alarms.)
- Half of all home fire deaths result from fires reported
between 11 p.m. and 7 a.m., when most
people are asleep.
- Test your smoke alarms monthly to make sure they're
working.
- Create a home fire escape plan that includes two ways out of
each room and a meeting place outside in front of the home.
- Practice your plan with all members of your household twice a
year.
- Learn the emergency number for your fire department.
- If the smoke alarm sounds, get outside and stay outside. Call
the fire department from outside the home using a cell or
neighbor's phone.
