Fire Safety Tips

How should you prepare in case of a fire in your home or business?

•

Remind everyone to escape first, and then call for help.

•

Develop a fire escape plan and designate a meeting place outside.

•

Practice the escape plan frequently.

•

Plan two ways to escape from every room, if possible.

•

Practice feeling the way out with eyes closed.

•

Instruct everyone never to stand up during a fire, always crawl under the smoke and keep mouths covered.

•

Instruct everyone never to return to a burning building for any reason; it may cost them their life.

•

Check smoke detectors regularly. Working smoke detectors dramatically increase everyone's chances of surviving a fire.

How can you avoid the three most common causes of fires at home?

•

Never leave cooking food unattended. It is the leading cause of fire injuries. Cooking fires often result from unattended cooking

and human error, rather than mechanical failure.

•

Stay alert when smoking. Careless smoking is the leading cause of fire deaths. Smoke detectors and smoulder-resistant bedding

and upholstered furniture are significant fire deterrents.

•

Maintain your heating system. Faulty heating systems are the second leading cause of residential fires.
