They spent time with residents promoting home and fire safety. “What would you do if there was a fire in your house?” was one of the questions asked while promoting fire safety.
Knowlton along with the volunteers encouraged residents to find a place that is a designated safe place outside the home. A place where family members could meet in the event of an emergency.
