Fire Safety Tips:
- Each level of the house should have a smoke alarm.
Test the batteries monthly and change them twice
a year, preferable when time changes for Daylight
Savings Time.
- Make sure your house number is clearly visible
from the street so that emergency services can see
it easily.
-
Try to have two or more exits from every room. Windows
should open easily.
-
Have a fire escape ladder in a two-story house.
- Do not store gas, propane or other flammable
liquids in dwellings, including attached garages.
-
Have your chimney cleaned and inspected regularly.
-
Keep fire extinguishers and chimney flares handy and
know how to use them.
- Have a fire escape plan and stage drills to practice
it. Have a designated meeting place when you get
outside of the house so that you can account for
everyone. This keeps firemen or others from needlessly
entering a structure to look for victims who aren't
in any danger.
-
Sleep with bedroom doors closed to help keep smoke and
fire from spreading.
- If a smoke alarm goes off, roll out of bed and
stay close to the floor.
-
Crawl to the door and see if it is warm to the touch.
If it is warm escape through a window.
- If your clothing catches fire, DO NOT RUN! Stop,
drop and roll! Cover your face with your hands.
Use a blanket or a heavy coat to smother fire on
another person's clothes.
- Once outside, stay outside! Do not go back inside
for anything, including pets. They usually find
their own way out.
- Make sure your children are familiar with fire
safety and their escape routes in the event of an
emergency.
