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 chance of surviving a fire.
