The Wilmington Fire Department is introducing a new device called an oxygen firebreak to help prevent house fires caused by oxygen therapy systems. This small thermal device costs only $7 and shuts off the flow of oxygen in the tubing in the event of a fire. The WFD will be holding a live demonstration of the device on Monday, Feb. 17 at 10:30 a.m. at WFD Station 5, and is urging households and facilities that use home oxygen therapy to consider purchasing this potentially life-saving technology. The WFD hopes that the oxygen firebreak will help slow or stop the spread of fires and ultimately save lives. For more information about the oxygen firebreak, visit the WFD website. This new device is a cost-effective solution to improving fire safety in homes and facilities that use oxygen therapy. This initiative is part of WFD’s ongoing efforts to promote fire safety and prevent fire-related injuries and deaths in the community. The WFD is committed to educating the public about the importance of fire safety measures and providing resources to help residents protect themselves and their loved ones from the devastating effects of fires.
