North Raleigh Today

The March 2024 edition of the Raleigh Fire News has been released, offering valuable insights and information for the community.

In this edition, readers are invited to delve into the standard response procedures when a structure fire is reported to the Raleigh Fire Department. The publication prompts readers, "Have you ever wondered what happens when a structure fire is reported to the Raleigh Fire Department? While each call is unique, the standard response to a structure fire call in the City of Raleigh involves the same steps. Learn what they are and what normally happens."

Highlighting the importance of smoke alarms in preventing home fire fatalities, the newsletter emphasizes, "Working smoke alarms can cut the risk of death from home fires in half. On average, each year in Raleigh we have two fatalities from house fires. In some of the homes where people lost their lives smoke alarms were not present or they were not working. Learn how you can stay safe – and how RFD can help."

Fire Chief Herbert Griffin also shares his insights in this edition by answering a crucial question, "What advice would you give everyone to endure the first 72 hours of any significant storm or natural disaster?"
