Fire Safety Tips
- Install and maintain smoke detector. Smoke detectors warn you of a fire in time to let you escape. Install them on each level of your home and outside of each sleeping area. Follow the manufacturer's directions and test them once a week. Replace batteries once a year or when the detector chirps to signal that the battery is dead. Do not borrow them for other uses!
- Know how to use your fire extinguisher. Use the PASS method. Pull the pin. Aim the nozzle. Squeeze the lever fully. Sweep the nozzle from side to side.
- Plan and practice your escape. Know your way out! Have a plan and stick to it. With your family, plan two ways out of every room. Fire escape routes must not include elevators, which might take you right to the fire. Choose a meeting place outside where everyone will gather. Once you are out, stay out! At least twice a year, have the whole family practice the escape plan.
- First: Get Out. By planning ahead you can do a lot to prevent a fire. But once a fire starts in your home, there are only two things to do: first get out, then call the fire department from a neighbor's home. Do not go back into a burning building, no matter what! If you think someone is trapped inside, tell the fire fighters when they arrive.
