Essential fire safety tips for your home

Simple precautions can prevent tragedy. Follow these guidelines to keep your family safe and reduce fire risk in your home.

1

Test Your Smoke Alarms Monthly

Replace batteries at least once a year, and replace the entire unit every 10 years. An audible alarm gives you the critical seconds needed to escape.

2

Create & Practice a Home Escape Plan

Map two exits from every room. Practice your plan with your family at least twice a year so everyone knows exactly what to do in an emergency.

3

Never Leave Cooking Unattended

Cooking is the leading cause of home fires. Stay in the kitchen while frying, grilling, or broiling, and keep flammable items away from the stovetop.

4

Keep Fire Extinguishers Accessible

Place ABC-rated extinguishers in your kitchen, garage, and near heating equipment. Learn the PASS technique: Pull, Aim, Squeeze, Sweep.

5

Maintain Heating Equipment Safely

Have furnaces and chimneys inspected annually. Keep space heaters at least three feet from anything that can burn, and never use them as a primary heat source.

6

Store Flammables Properly

Keep gasoline, propane, and cleaning supplies in well-ventilated areas away from heat sources. Never store chemicals near stoves or water heaters.
