Practice Fire Safety
Please read this convenient safety checklist and keep it close to your smoke alarm in an easy-to-read
location. Review this checklist often. Develop family escape plans, discuss them with ALL household mem-
bers, and practice them regularly.
• Expose everyone to the sounds of a smoke alarm and explain what each sound means.
• Determine TWO exits from each room and an escape route to the outside from each exit.
• Teach all household members to touch the door. INSTRUCT THEM NOT TO OPEN THE DOOR IF THE
DOOR IS HOT. Tell them to use an alternative exit if the door is hot.
• Teach household members to crawl along the floor to stay below dangerous smoke, fumes, and gases.
• Determine a safe meeting place for all members outside the building.
• Know how to call the nearest fire department in case of emergency.
Besides practicing and understanding fire safety rules, you should:
a. Install smoke alarms in every room of your residence.
b. Test smoke alarms weekly.
c. Maintain smoke alarms properly.
d. Keep a supply of replacement batteries on hand.
e. Replace non-working smoke alarms immediately.
f. Prevent hazardous conditions and follow fire safety rules:
• Keep matches and cigarette lighters out of the hands of children.
• Never smoke in bed.
• Store flammables in proper, closed containers and do not use them near flame or sparks.
• Keep electrical appliances in good condition.
• Make sure stoves, fireplaces, chimneys, barbeque grills, and other appliances are clean and free of
grease. Be sure they are properly installed and operating as designed.
• Keep operating portable heaters and burning candles away from combustible materials. Watch them
carefully.
• Do not overload electrical circuits.
