Who should know I have oxygen in my home?
RANA will provide you an “Oxygen in Use” sign that should be displayed where it can be seen easily from outside your home. RANA will help you find an appropriate location to display your sign. You should also notify:
-
Your local fire department
Oxygen rapidly accelerates a fire and flammables burn more easily and more violently in the presence of oxygen. The fire department must be made aware of your oxygen use, so they are prepared to respond appropriately to a fire emergency in your home.
-
Your building manager
If your home has a building manager (e.g. apartment, townhouse, condo), let them know about your oxygen use. This helps ensure they follow correct emergency procedures in case of a fire drill, actual fire, or during communications with the electric company or fire department.
