Partner with us: We are stronger together!
USFA recognizes partnerships as a critical means of delivering accurate and consistent safety messages to the community. We invite fire departments, life safety organizations and fire and life safety professionals to partner on this important initiative. Once you join, we ask you to use the Fire Is Everyone’s Fight graphic and tagline on your existing and new materials.
Home fire deaths continue to rise despite increased community risk reduction activities like home safety surveys, smoke alarm installation and education campaigns. Our nation's fire and emergency medical services need to speak with one voice on fire and life safety to relay clear and consistent messages.

Fire and Life Safety Communicators Initiative
The Fire and Life Safety Communicators Initiative is a collaboration among the fire and the emergency medical services to speak with “one voice” on fire and life safety. We believe that by working together to present consistent messages, we can begin to teach the public the importance of safety and encourage them to take actions to make themselves, their loved ones and their communities safer from fire and other hazards. Through these actions, lives will be saved.
Escape planning
Fire is fast. Plan ahead to save lives.
Start the year by creating and practicing your home fire escape plan to keep you and your loved ones safe.

Closed door messages
When escaping a fire, make sure to close the door behind you.

Smoke alarms
Make sure you have working smoke alarms inside and outside each sleeping area, on every level of the home.
Test them at least 2 times a year and replace them according to the manufacturer's recommendations.
When choosing a smoke alarm, ensure it is certified by a national testing lab.
Never disable your smoke alarms. If you can, make sure your smoke alarms are interconnected and speaking to each other. If one sounds, they all sound.
Create a Community Wildfire Protection Plan
Wildfires are becoming more extreme; larger, spread faster, and occur in areas that have never experienced fires. These fires create a cascading effects like damaged water supplies, infrastructure, economies, watersheds, and ecosystems.
Because of this, it is important to help your community prepare for a wildfire. One of the best ways to prepare is by creating a Community Wildfire Protection Plan (CWPP).
