KY Fire Marshal promotes Campus Fire Safety Month By Krista Locke Frankfort, KY - The Kentucky State Fire Marshal urges parents and college students to pause this September during Campus Fire Safety Month to implement fire prevention strategies for off-campus student housing. Since fire fatalities most often occur in buildings with disabled fire safety systems, Haney recommends that students regularly change batteries in existing smoke detectors and ensure a detector is installed on each floor and each bedroom. Students should also plan two escape routes from bedrooms, and purchase an escape ladder if necessary. Because cooking is the leading cause of home fires, Haney encourages students to have stoves inspected, to be alert and remain in the kitchen while cooking. Appliances can also pose a risk. Inspecting appliances and avoiding use of numerous extension cords reduces the risk of off campus living fires. To learn more about college campus fire safety read: Campus Fire Safety Tips (PDF). "Inspecting off campus housing for potential fire hazards saves lives," said Mike Haney, Kentucky's fire marshal and director of the Division of Fire Prevention in the Department of Housing, Buildings and Construction (HBC).
