Home Safety Tips

In the event of a fire, remember time is the biggest enemy
and every second counts!

• Escape first, then call for help.
   

• Develop a home fire escape plan and designate a meeting place outside.
   

• Make sure everyone in the family knows two ways to escape from every room.
   

• Practice feeling your way out with your eyes closed.
   

• Never stand up in a fire, always crawl low under the smoke and try to keep your mouth covered.
   
• Never return to a burning building for any reason; it may cost you your life.
   
• And remember to practice a home escape plan frequently with your family.
   
• Finally, having a working smoke alarm dramatically increases your chances of surviving a fire, so test your smoke detector periodically.
