SADDLE RIVER FIRE PREVENTION BUREAU

The Saddle River Fire Prevention Bureau has been designated by the Borough Council of Saddle River to implement the provisions of the New Jersey State Uniform Fire Safety Act (N.J.S.A. 52:27 D-192 et seq.).

This act empowers the fire prevention bureau to enforce fire safety regulations in all existing commercial buildings. Some of these buildings need to be upgraded or maintained in order to protect occupants of the buildings, firefighters and the general public from fire.

Homeowners can also practice fire safety by calling the bureau to schedule a home fire safety inspection at 201-327-2609 ext 237.

Fire safety is everyone’s job! Let’s all help the Saddle River Fire Prevention Bureau keep Saddle River safe from fire.

STOP DROP and ROLL

When clothes burn, stop
where you are, drop to
the ground, cover your face
with your hands and roll
repeatedly to smother the
flames.

FIRE ESCAPE PLAN

Call 911 from a neighbor’s home
Take the safest route, crawl low under smoke
Know two ways out of each room
Feel the door with the back of your hand
Meet outside at a safe location
Once out stay out

SMOKE DETECTORS

One on every level of home
Make sure that they work
Vacuum twice a year
Replace every ten years
Call 911 when they activate
Evacuate the home
