Closed Door Saves Life in Roberts Creek

Roberts Creek Volunteer Fire Department responded to a house fire that once again proved how a 'closed door' can save lives during a fire. According to Fire Chief Pat Higgins, 'Events like this present an opportunity for residents to review their own fire safety. On top of having a working smoke detector in your bedroom, Higgins stressed the need to “close before you doze.” The practice of shutting your bedroom door at night compartmentalizes your house and drastically reduces a fire's ability to spread.'
