Fire Safety in Schools

Just a quick reminder from the Bay City Fire Marshal’s office as school kicks off. Fire inspectors are back, checking for fire safety in classrooms. Remember, NFPA 1 rules are in play. Things like drapes and decorations need to meet standards. No storing personal stuff in hallways, unless sprinklers or smoke detectors are present. And don’t overload hooks with clothes – that’s a fire risk. Artwork on walls is cool, but only 20% in unsprinklered buildings and 50% in sprinklered ones. Also, keep them away from exit doors.
