Carson City TRIAD hosts fire department for safety presentation aimed at older adults
Carson City TRIAD presents Fire and Fall Prevention for Older Adults, on Tuesday, Nov. 19, from noon to 1 p.m. at the Carson City Senior Center, 911 Beverly Drive. The event is free and open to the public.
The presentation will cover fire and fall safety, information about fire and fall prevention and tips for escaping a fire. The Carson City Fire Department has specifically tailored this presentation for adults aged 65 or older, who are twice as likely to get injured or killed in a fire and are more likely to experience a hospitalization, major injury, or death as a result of a fall.
“This presentation serves as a great reminder about fire and fall safety not only for seniors and caregivers but all Carson City residents,” said Courtney Warner, executive director for the Carson City Senior Center. “We should all review and be aware of the best practices for prevention, preparedness and escaping these emergency situations.”
Those who attend the presentation will be entered to win a gift basket sponsored by Advanced Dentistry by Design.
