Fire Safety Tips:

 Install smoke alarms on every level of your

home. Test them monthly to make sure they
work and change the batteries every 6 months.

 Create multiple escape plans and practice it twice a

year. Your plans should include escape routes from
different areas of the house, tools for exiting the
building such as escape ladders, items to open, break
out windows and a designated meeting place. It’s very
important to practice fire safety, so be sure to
familiarize the sounds of the alarm(s).

 Keep grills, cookers and fryers at least 3 feet away from your house and shrubs
or bushes.

 Keep space heaters at least 3 feet away from

anything flammable. Always turn off heaters when
leaving the room or going to bed.

 If someone is with you who is deaf or hard of hearing, consider installing an

alarm that combines flashing lights, vibration and sound.

 Store gasoline in a garage or shed in a container approved for gasoline storage.

 Close the lid on all flammable products and put them away after using them.
 Store a fire extinguisher on every level of your
home. They should have an ABC rating, making
them usable for all types of fires.
