PRACTICE FIRE SAFETY
Develop family escape plans, discuss them with ALL household
members, and practice them regularly.
•
Expose everyone to the sound of a smoke alarm and explain
what the 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 nonworking 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.
WHAT TO DO IN CASE OF A FIRE
1. Don’t panic; stay calm. Notify every member in the resi-
dence of the fire.
2. Have all residents leave the building as quickly as possible.
Touch doors to feel if they are hot before opening them.
Use an alternative exit if necessary. Crawl along the floor
and cover your mouth and nose with a wet cloth, if possi-
ble. DO NOT stop to collect anything. Follow pre-defined
escape plans, if possible.
3. Meet at a prearranged meeting place outside the building.
4. Call the fire department from OUTSIDE the building.
5. DO NOT GO BACK INSIDE A BURNING BUILDING. Wait for
the fire department to arrive.
These guidelines will assist you in the event of a fire. However, to
reduce the chance that fires will start, practice fire safety rules
and prevent hazardous situations.
TROUBLESHOOTING
DANGER: ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD. Always
turn off power at main fuse box or cir-
cuit breaker before taking trou-
bleshooting action.
WARNING: DO NOT disconnect AC power to quiet
an unwanted false alarm. This will
remove your protection. Fan the air
around the smoke alarm or open a win-
dow to remove the smoke, dust, or
water vapor causing the false alarm.
