Home Fire Safety Tips

DEVELOP A FIRE ESCAPE PLAN
Can Your Family Survive a Fire In Your Home?
Protect your family by planning and practicing a home fire escape plan. Always know two ways out from the house and agree on a meeting place outside of your home so you will know that everyone is out safely and accounted for.

MAKE SURE YOUR SMOKE DETECTORS AND CARBON MONOXIDE ALARMS ARE WORKING
  • Twice a year, when you adjust your clocks for daylight savings time:
  • Change your smoke detector batteries
  • Change your carbon monoxide detector batteries
  • Practice your home fire escape plan

IF THERE IS A FIRE

  • Do not try to fight the fire yourself
  • Get out of the house and stay out. Do not try and gather any personal possessions
  • CLOSE THE DOOR ON THE WAY OUT
  • If smoke is present, exit as low as possible and keep your mouth covered
  • CALL 911 ONCE YOU REACH A SAFE LOCATION
  • REMEMBER- WORKING SMOKE DETECTORS AND CARBON MONOXIDE DETECTORS SAVE LIVES
