| Fire-Safety Tips |
 |
- Always have a fire escape plan for your home so
every member of the family knows the designated place to meet.
After everyone is at the meeting place, go to a neighbor's house to
call the fire deparmtent. Once you escape
safely from your house, never go back for anything.
- Have smoke detectors installed where people sleep and
on each floor of your home as a minimum. It is recommended that a
smoke detector be
placed by the laundry and furnace rooms. If your smoke
detectors are battery operated,
you should change your batteries when there is a time change, or twice
a
year.
- Carbon monoxide (CO) detectors should be used in
addition to smoke detectors if your home uses gas appliances or you
heat with other than electricity. Follow the same guidelines as for
smoke detectors when placing the devices and changing batteries.
- Always keep matches, lighters, fuels and other
dangerous items away from children and stored in a safe
place. Remember
the best way to fight a fire is to prevent it!
