			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It was a cold, late fall morning as I read the <em>Washington Post</em> about ten years ago. The Metro Section had an article about a couple escaping a burning home on Dominion Way in Falls Church&#8230;</p>
<p><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-1508" title="house fire" src="http://www.dougfrancis.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/house-fire.jpg" alt="house fire" width="118" height="79" />I took a sip of coffee. &#8220;Dominion Way, don&#8217;t I have clients on that street?&#8221;, I thought.</p>
<p>&#8220;Right, I should call Scott and Jeannie to see if they saw it.&#8221;</p>
<p>So I hopped in my car and drove over to see which house it was. It was theirs!</p>
<p>Since then, I have reminded clients during <em>National Fire Protection Week</em> to check their smoke detectors, replace old smoke detectors with new ones that include hall lights, replace 9-volt batteries, make an escape plan, and be careful when grilling or using candles.</p>
<p><a href=" http://www.nfpa.org/categoryList.asp?categoryID=1438"><img src="http://www.nfpa.org/assets/images///FPW09/FPWwidget.jpg" border="0" alt="Fire Prevention Week" width="152" height="77" /></a><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-1513" title="Town of Vienna Fire Truck" src="http://www.dougfrancis.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/IMG_8834-300x225.jpg" alt="Town of Vienna Fire Truck" width="240" height="180" />The <a href="http://www.firepreventionweek.org/" target="_blank"><strong>National Fire Protection Association</strong> (NFPA)</a> supports all of those programs that your children learn in school or read about during those fire station open-houses&#8230; there is probably one in your community this weekend and you should stop by and get some fire safety tips or suggestions. Click on &#8220;Sparky&#8221; to see all of their material.</p>
<p>As it turned out, Scott and Jeannie were sound asleep at 2:30 in the morning when Jeannie smelled smoke. She sent Scott to peek out the window and he saw flames leaping up the side of their neighbor&#8217;s town home. They hopped out of bed and ran out of the house safely. I can clearly remember asking her about the experience and she did not remember hearing her smoke detectors going off.</p>
<p>Please do me a favor, check those smoke detector batteries, press the test button, and consider replacing any smoke detector that is over seven years old.</p>
<p>The <a href="http://www.vvfd.org/news.cfm?action=display&amp;ntid=1" target="_blank">Vienna Volunteer Fire Department</a> open-house is October 10th from 10-4.</p>
