Fire fatalities in Alabama have been on a downward trend, according to State Fire Marshal Scott Pilgreen. However, Pilgreen emphasizes that even one life lost is too many, and there is still work to be done to prevent fire-related deaths. Alabama has historically had high rates of fire deaths, but the number of fatalities has been decreasing in recent years.
Pilgreen stresses the importance of having an escape plan in case of a fire and urges people to stay out of a burning building once they have escaped. He warns against going back into a burning building to retrieve belongings, as this can be extremely dangerous and often leads to tragic outcomes.
Having a working smoke alarm is crucial for early warning in case of a fire, as fires can spread quickly and leave people with very little time to escape. Pilgreen encourages people to take fire safety seriously and to be proactive in preventing fires in their homes.
