Fire Prevention
Never smoke in bed, or leave cooking food unattended.
Teach children never to play with matches or lighters! Train
everyoneinthehometorecognizethealarmpattern,voice
message warning and to leave the
home using their escape plan when
it’s heard. Know how to do “Stop,
Drop and Roll” if clothes catch on fire,
and how to crawl low under smoke.
Install and maintain fire extinguishers
on every level of the home and in the
kitchen, basement and garage. Know
how to use a fire extinguisher prior to
an emergency. Second level and higher
occupied rooms with windows, should
have an escape ladder.
Current studies have shown smoke alarms may not awaken
all sleeping individuals, and that it is the responsibility of
individuals in the household that are capable of assisting
others to provide assistance to those who may not be
awakened by the alarm sound, or to those who may be
incapable of safely evacuating the area unassisted.
