The Colerain Township Fire Department is sharing five action steps they say can help residents survive a fatal fire.
The department says they will be highlighting one of the five steps each week in October, which is National Fire Safety Month. The department says data from the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) shows from 2014 to 2018, the number of fires, fire deaths, and injuries has increased by 6%.
That increase has appeared to carry over to 2020, according to the fire department.
