Community Risk Reduction in Active Senior Communities Data collected by the United States Fire Administration indicates that adults over the age of 65 are 2.5 times more likely to die in a fire, and adults age 85 and over have the highest relative risk among the general population of dying in a fire. Proactive efforts through relationship building, educational initiatives, demonstrations and resident inclusive emergency planning are a must within these communities. The successful implementation of Fire Warden programs in multi-tenant structures is key to maintaining regular participation and stake holder involvement. Utilizing Fire Wardens during evacuation drills and emergency responses to conduct resident accountability checks and the establishment of muster points provides enhanced coordination with first arriving units. If you have these communities within your jurisdiction, reach out and establish a productive line of communication. The benefit to both residents and responders will prove invaluable.

As we navigate through the height of summer, it's crucial to reinforce our commitment to fire safety within our communities. August brings increased risks due to hotter temperatures and outdoor activities, making it an ideal time to ramp up our fire prevention efforts. 🔹 **Educate and Engage:** Utilize community events and social media platforms to share essential fire safety tips. Emphasize the importance of properly disposing of cigarettes, monitoring outdoor fires, and maintaining clear zones around homes. 🔹 **Collaborate with Local Partners:** Partner with local organizations to host fire safety workshops and demonstrations. Engaging with residents in practical, hands-on ways can make a significant impact. 🔹 **Leverage Technology:** Use digital tools to disseminate fire safety information. Regular updates on social media, engaging infographics, and interactive content can help keep the community informed and prepared. By working together and staying proactive, we can mitigate risks and ensure a safer summer for everyone. Let’s continue to prioritize fire safety and protect our communities. Stay safe! #FireSafety #CommunityEngagement #SummerSafety #FirePrevention #PublicSafety
