(CONTRIBUTED PHOTO)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>American Red Cross-NMI Chapter volunteer Christie Sablan Keptot responded to a single-family home fire in Kagman II late Sunday afternoon.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The Red Cross Disaster Action Team received a call of a structure fire in Kagman II at around 2:30pm last Sunday afternoon. After assessing the incident, Red Cross caseworkers were able to help the family members who were displaced from their home due to the fire.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The American Red Cross was able to provide clients with immediate assistance for food, clothing, and shelter while they begin their road to recovery.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>SIMPLE STEPS TO SAVE LIVES\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The Red Cross is calling on everyone to take two simple steps that can save lives: practice fire drills at home and check existing smoke alarms.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>There are several things families and individuals can do to increase their chances of surviving a fire:\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>-If someone doesn\u2019t have smoke alarms, install them. At a minimum, put one on every level of the home, inside bedrooms and outside sleeping areas. Local building codes vary and there may be additional requirements where someone lives.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>-If someone does have alarms, test them today. If they don\u2019t work, replace them.<\/p>\n<p>-Make sure that everyone in the family knows how to get out of every room and how to get out of the home in less than two minutes.<\/p>\n<p>-Practice the fire escape plan. What\u2019s the household\u2019s escape time?\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>WHAT PEOPLE CAN DO\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>People can visit redcross.org\/homefires to find out more about how to protect themselves and their loved homes from fire. They can become a Red Cross volunteer by contacting the local chapter office at 670-234-3459 or by visiting our website at www.redcross.org\/nmi. <em>(PR)<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>American Red Cross-NMI Chapter volunteer Christie Sablan Keptot responded to a single-family home fire in&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":28,"featured_media":376603,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[559],"class_list":["post-376602","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-local-news","tag-red-cross"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/376602","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/28"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=376602"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/376602\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/376603"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=376602"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=376602"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=376602"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
