Fire Safety & Prevention

When a fire starts in your home you may have as little as two minutes to escape. During a fire, early warning from a working smoke alarm plus a fire escape plan that has been practiced regularly can save lives.

Top Tips for Fire Safety

Install smoke alarms on every level of your home, inside bedrooms and outside sleeping areas
Test smoke alarms every month. If they are not working, change the batteries.
Talk with all family members about a fire escape plan and practice the plan twice a year
Practice escaping from every room in the home
If a fire occurs in your home, GET OUT, STAY OUT and CALL FOR HELP. Never go back inside for anything or anyone
Designate a meeting place outside and take attendance
