DeKalb County Fire Rescue outlines smoke-alarm installs, CPR training and 911 guidance
Summary
The presenter summarized community risk-reduction efforts including smoke-alarm installations, inspections, CPR classes for residents, and instructions for calling 911; the department urged residents to stay connected via social media for updates.
A department presenter said DeKalb County Fire Rescue conducts fire inspections, installs smoke alarms in homes that need them, and provides CPR education and safety programs for children and seniors. "Every smoke alarm installed, every resident trained in CPR, and every child educated about fire safety represents an opportunity to prevent tragedy before it even occurs," the presenter said.
The presenter also gave practical guidance for residents calling 911: remain as calm as possible, clearly describe the emergency and provide the exact location, and stay on the line until a dispatcher says it is safe to hang up. The department encouraged residents to follow DeKalb County Fire Rescue on social media for emergency updates and preparedness information.
