Our guest today was Chad Lamp from Rapid Restoration, one of the panelists for our discussion on fire safety presented by J.N. Johnson Fire & Safety.
Our honorary member in attendance was Russ Bremner.

This Week’s Craft Talk
Did you know that most fire related deaths occur in a home? How are your fire extinguishers, and where are they located in your home and office? Check them when you change your smoke detector batteries.
Did you know the fire codes vary by building type and occupancy?
Did you know that sprinkler heads are only set off one at a time and put a fire using one tenth the amount of water that comes out of a fire hose?
Did you know that there are different smoke detectors for kitchens that can be used in your home?
Did you know that fire restoration can save many items, but that your life will be turned upside down for quite a while?
Do you think that a fire can’t happen to you? Ask some of your fellow club members like Tony Rubin, Jon Peterson, and even Mike Palm about their experiences with unwanted fires.
If you were at the meeting, you will know all the answers, and if not, it’s important to make sure to read up on fire safety and prevention to keep you and your family protected.
