Simple steps that can save lives. Share these tips with your family and neighbors.
Test smoke alarms monthly and replace batteries at least once a year. If your alarm is more than 10 years old, replace the entire unit.
Draw a floor plan showing two exits from every room. Practice your escape plan with your family at least twice a year — day and night.
Never leave the kitchen while frying, grilling, or broiling. Keep flammable items away from the stovetop and stay alert when cooking at home.
Keep space heaters at least three feet from anything that burns. Turn off portable heaters when you leave the room or go to sleep.
Never leave burning candles unattended. Keep them away from curtains, bedding, and pets. Consider using flameless LED candles instead.
Keep a ABC-rated fire extinguisher in your kitchen and garage. Know how to use it — remember PASS: Pull, Aim, Squeeze, Sweep.
