Where can I get child / handicapped locator window decal?
A.In the interest of community safety, the Fire Department does NOT recommend that “child” or “invalid” locator decals be placed on exterior home windows for a variety of reasons. * First, the average family moves often – on average about once every five years. Each time a house changes hands, room use can also change. Even a single family will switch rooms with time, making the decal meaningless. * Even within a short time period, children sleep in rooms other than their own, leave their room when frightened, or spend the night away and, therefore, will often not be in the room marked with a decal. * Most importantly, a decal can also be an invitation to a burglar – or worse – to enter through that window because the occupant of that room would present less of a threat. Keep in mind that rescuing people is a priority for all firefighters. They are trained to make a thorough and systematic search for anyone inside a burning building as soon as they arrive.
