00:00.983 --> 00:02.865
- [Narratpr] Firefighters and fleet activities Sasebo

00:02.865 --> 00:04.910
ran fire drills around the housing units

00:04.910 --> 00:07.507
to ensure that residents knew how to evacuate,

00:07.507 --> 00:09.500
in case of an emergency.

00:09.500 --> 00:11.411
- The purpose of this type of theme

00:11.411 --> 00:15.009
is to educate personnel, not only on base but off base also.

00:15.009 --> 00:18.726
We want people to practice EDITH, Exit Drills In The Home,

00:18.726 --> 00:20.611
or practice their escape plans.

00:20.611 --> 00:21.615
- [Narrator] Throughout the month,

00:21.615 --> 00:23.927
the fire department stresses knowing what to do

00:23.927 --> 00:26.329
in case of a fire, and teaches sailors and families

00:26.329 --> 00:29.648
important knowledge and tips to keep them safe.

00:29.648 --> 00:31.731
- Don't place boxes in front of your exits,

00:31.731 --> 00:33.769
you know, don't keep clutter around the house

00:33.769 --> 00:35.206
where you can trip and fall.

00:35.206 --> 00:37.414
Make sure that you have an unobstructed escape route

00:37.414 --> 00:41.064
in order to get out of the facility or your home.

00:41.064 --> 00:42.836
- [Narrator] Firefighters want to remind everyone

00:42.836 --> 00:44.763
of this year's fire safety theme.
