We encourage you to create and practice fire escape plan
October is Fire Prevention Month , and Tualatin Valley Fire & Rescue reminds you that “ fire won ’ t wait — plan your escape .”
This year , the Oregon Office of State Fire Marshal campaign , “ Plan , Practice , Be Prepared with a Home Fire Escape Plan ,” focuses on the importance of knowing what to do in the event of a fire .
Fire is nothing like what you see on television or in the movies . It produces dark and toxic smoke that can fill your home in minutes and can confuse you to the point that you never make it out . That is why every firefighter wears an air pack before entering a burning building and uses thermal imaging devices to search for anyone trapped inside a structure .
Working smoke alarms are designed to activate early to help ensure that you
Happy fall everyone ! Summer is over and we ’ re into autumn . Fall is such a beautiful time of year . I always enjoy the fall

We hope you enjoyed our September luncheon . We have many new members who have joined CWA and it was nice to meet them .
Our Oct . 10 luncheon will be catered by Dalton ’ s Northwest Catering and our speaker is our own Charbonneau resident , Rosemary Ricken . She is doing a presentation on the history of Charbonneau . Rosemary has put a lot of time and research into her topic and has some very interesting facts about Charbonneau ’ s history . I think you will not only find it interesting but you will learn things you never knew about our area .
Our Nov . 14 luncheon will be catered by Dalton ’ s and will feature a sneak peak of the play “ Elf ,” which will be showing at Lakewood Theatre in Lake Oswego during the months of November and December .
Please mark your calendar for our December luncheon chaired by Judy Hickman and April Marcell . The date is Dec . 12 . Tickets will be on sale at our October luncheon . For a reserved table you must have eight ladies and the table hostess writes one check for the entire table . Only CWA members can reserve a table .
Enjoy the changing season and the feel of fall in the air . We are so lucky to live in a state that has four beautiful seasons .
Welcome to all our new CWA members and our returning members . We appreciate each of you and treasure our time together .
Once you have a plan , have a home fire drill and practice using two ways out . Have your children show you that they know how to get low and go to your safe meeting place outside .
COURTESY PHOTOS : TVF & R and your family have time to safely escape from your home . Smoke alarms should be installed inside every bedroom , outside each sleeping area and on every level of your home .
To create your escape plan , we recommend drawing a map of your home with all members of your household and marking two exits from each room and a path to your designated meeting place outside that is a safe distance from your home . One of those exits could be a window .
Once you have an escape map , have a home fire drill and practice using different ways out . Remember to get low and go . We recommend closing doors behind you as you leave to help slow the spread
