Fire Prevention and Escape
The purpose of an early warning smoke alarm is to sense
the presence of fire in its early stages and sound an alarm
through the Touchscreen giving the occupant(s) time to
exit the premises safely.
Avoid Fire Hazards
No detection device can protect life in all situations.
Therefore, safeguards should be taken to avoid potentially
dangerous situations as follows:
Do not smoke in bed.
Do not leave children home alone.
Never clean with flammable liquids such as gasoline.
Properly store materials. Use general good
housekeeping techniques to keep your home neat
and tidy. A cluttered basement, attic, or other storage
area is an open invitation to fire.
Use combustible materials and electrical appliances
carefully and only for their intended uses. Do not
overload electrical outlets
Do not store explosive and/or fast burning materials in
your home.
Even after proper precautions have been taken, fires
can start. Be prepared.
In Case of Fire
In the event of a fire:
Leave immediately. Don’t stop to pack or search for
valuables.
In heavy smoke, hold your breath and stay low, crawl
if necessary. The clearest air is usually near the floor.
If you have to go through a closed door, carefully feel
the door and door knob to see if undue heat is
present. If they seem cool, brace your foot against the
bottom of the door with your hip against the door and
one hand against the top edge. Open it slightly. If a
rush of hot air is felt, slam the door quickly and latch
it. Unvented fire tends to build up considerable
pressure. Be sure all members of the household
realize and understand this danger.
Use your neighbor’s phone or a street fire alarm box
to call the fire department. The job of extinguishing
the fire should be left to the professionals.
Be Prepared
Practice the following steps to prepare you and your family
in the event of a fire:
Perform fire drills regularly. Use them to assure
recognition of an alarm signal.
Draw a floor plan and show two exits from each room.
It is important that children be instructed carefully,
because they tend to hide in times of crisis.
Establish one meeting place outside the home. Insist
that everyone meet there during an alarm. This will
eliminate the tragedy of someone reentering the
house for a missing member who is actually safe.
If you have children and/or physically challenged
people residing in your household, use window decals
to help emergency personnel identify the sleeping
quarters of these individuals.
WARNING
Smoke alarms CANNOT provide warnings for fires
resulting from explosions, smoking in bed or other
furniture, ignition of flammable liquids, vapors and gases,
children playing with matches or lighters.
