Noxen Fire Co. to hold 'Great Escape’ When you hear the term “The Great Escape” images of Houdini and disappearing acts may come to mind. The Noxen Volunteer Fire Company is announcing that “The Great Escape” will take place in Noxen Township this October, but they're not planning to make local residents disappear. In fact, the Noxen Volunteer Fire Com- pany has been working in con- junction with the nonprofit Na- tional Fire Protection Association (NFPA) and fire departments throughout the United States and Canada to implement the first- ever North America fire drill “The Great Escape” during the 1998 Fire Prevention Week, Oct. 4-10. “The Great Escape” is a con- certed. effort to get ‘citizens throughout North America actively involved in fire safety, specifically home escape planning and prac- tice. Noxen Volunteer Fire Com- pany is strongly encouraging all area residents to develop home escape plans and practice them on Wed., Oct. 7 at’7 p.m. during Family rollerskating | at Noxen church The " Independent .

NFPA, the official sponsor of Fire Prevention Week for more than 70 years, developed “The Great Escape” theme in response to results from its 1997 Home Escape Survey that showed only 16 percent of respondents who had escape plans actually prac- ticed them. “These findings demonstate that most people are not well prepared if a fire does occur in their home”, says Meri-K Appy, NFPA’s vice president of public education. “Our hope is that “The Great Escape” motivates people to begin thinking about fire safety in a positive, proactive way, and to start practicing their home escape plan regularly, at least twice a year. In addition to “The Great Es- cape” the Noxen Volunteer Fire Co. is inviting the area residents to participate in the North America “The Great Escape” grand prize contest. Everyone who develops a home escape plan may submit it to Noxen Volunteer Fire Co. fire hall, 7-9 p.m. Oct. 7 and Mondays Oct. 4 or'11. Chief Lewis Hackling will re- ceive all submitted entries, review and select one plan, and send it to NFPA. In November, NFPA will announce one randomly picked grand prize winner, who will re- ceive a trip for up to four people to Walt Disney World. This grand prize vacation is sponsored by KIDDE Safety, the world’s leading manufacturer of home safety prod- ucts under the KIDDE and Night- hawk brand names. Also the local winner will receive a S100 Sav- ings Bond sponsored by the La- dies Auxiliary of the Noxen Volunter Fire Co. When developing a home fire escape, Jim Strohl encourages all particpants to use the mapping grid provided by the Noxen Vol- "unteer Fire Co. The grid can be picked up at the fire station, Noxen Food Mart, Noxen Post Office and Mel's Diner, and includes the offi- cial entry form required for sub- mission to NFPA’s contest.
