Before I get into this video, tell me Do you sleep with your bedroom door open or closed?
I’m a super light sleeper and I have a roommate who stays up late so I keep it closed.
I’m also low key afraid of the boogeyman.
Write your responses down there in the comments, There are plenty of reasons to keep either
yours or your child’s bedroom door open.
Maybe you want your pets to be able to come and go freely..
Maybe you just don’t want to sleep in complete darkness and keeping your door open adds a
bit of light into your room.
And Maybe your children are afraid to keep their bedroom doors closed.
The last reason is actually the most common.
Its actually more common for people to sleep with their bedroom door open rather than closed.
According to a survey by the safety science organization UL, almost 60 percent of people
sleep with their bedroom door open.
But there’s actually a very good reason to make sure that both you, and your children
sleep with your bedroom door closed, and it has to do with fire.
The Cold Spring Harbor Fire Department has issued a warning to parents after a closed
door could have saved somebody’s life.
The post was shared by a firefighter who also has children.
They said on facebook, as a parent its hard to convince little kids to sleep with their
door closed.
They always want it open just a little.
I do a lot of fire prevention at schools, so one thing I try and stress to the kids
is, how important it is to sleep with the door closed.
Just across the sound there was a fire in new Fairfield.
This morning members of the new Fairfield’s fire departments along with the mutual aid
departments responded to a residential structure fire.
The homeowners and family dog are doing well.
The door picture in both of the photos is a holoce core door to a bedroom, while the
front of the door is severely damaged, the closed door protected the bedroom and its
contents.
If this were an occupied bedroom, the closed door could have saved alife.
The cause and origin of the fire are under investigation and believed to be accidental
in nature.
They shared two photos of the door side by side, one of the photos showed the door from
the outside where the fire was, one showed the door from the inside, it practically looks
like a new door.
Keeping all doors closed while you sleep also prevents the spread of smoke in case there
is a fire.
Modern houses are filled with plastics mostly, in furniture.
Fumes from these plastics when they burn is toxic.
The post quickly went viral and garnered thousands of comments and shares, which helped spread
the word.
I guess a lot of people didn’t know about the benefits of keeping your bedroom door
closed.
Here are a few more tips for fire safety that could save your life.
Turn off and unplug electrical appliances unless they are designed to be left on, like
your fridge or freezer.
This is especially true for those pretty little tea lights or cheap Christmas lights that
you get from the dollar store.
Never leave a candle or incense burning while you’re asleep.
Make sure you put out your cigarettes by wetting them.
Do not smoke cigarettes in bed.
And its always important to have a fire detector in all the bedrooms as well.
A closed door wont help in this case.
So guys, when you go to sleep at night, brush your teeth, put on your pjs, and close your
door.
Making a closed door part of your nightly routine literally could mean the difference
between life and death.
