[DATE
CITY] Author Candace Quinn,
author of I
Survived A House Fire,
will be appearing on The Authors
Show Radio through November 6, 2009. In this interview she details how
we can prevent, prepare for and survive a fire in the most sacred of
places – our own home.
In America, a house fire is reported every 80 seconds. Many are
preventable. A substantial percentage of losses from house fires and
other disasters are preventable with some advance preparation. What
should we do when we only have minutes to pack up and get out? We can
save our most valuable possessions, if we have a plan.
At 3:10 am on May 8, 2002, Quinn and her husband awoke to their 80-year
old Longmeadow, MA, home crackling in flames. In this easy-to-use,
well-researched guide, she marshals her experiences of loss, recovery,
and discovery to help others avoid her misfortune.
I
Survived A House Fire
is intended for every homeowner, renter, or
boarder who wants to prepare for the moment they hear these dreaded
words: “You have 10 minutes to get out before your home is
lost. What do you want to save?”
Her book offers a smorgasbord of tips specifically aimed at helping
people prevent and prepare for a house fire. These tips include, but
are not limited to:
* Insurance Tips
* Early Warning Devices
* Practicing An Escape
* Meeting Places
* Fire Extinguishing Systems
* Kitchen Safety Tips
* Candle Safety
* Light Fixtures and Chandeliers Safety
* Extension Cords, Frayed Wires, and
Overloaded Outlets
* Fireplaces
* Cable Connections
* Holiday Lighting and Tree Safety Tips
Ms. Quinn advocates a ‘Stow, Grab and Go’ system.
The book explains in detail how one can develop a strategy for specific
areas of the home including:
* Living Rooms, Family Room, Dens
* Bedrooms
* Laundry Rooms, Attics and Cellars
* Garages
Hailing from a family of fire fighters, Quinn blends personal narrative
with practical safety tips, fire prevention steps and
valuables-preservation measures to captivate readers as she guides them
from room to room of their own homes-at-risk. Quinn is donating a
portion of all royalties to the Pioneer Valley Chapter of the American
Red Cross, and to the National Fire Protection Agency.
