Tips & Tricks...FIRE SAFETY

• Identify TWO escape routes from each room in your home.  Make sure everyone, especially children, know the plan.
• Teach children to follow the escape routes without stopping for valuables or returning to a burning home.
• Install smoke and carbon monoxide detectors.  An early warning allows more time to evacuate.  Check detectors monthly.  Replace batteries at least once a year.
• Close doors while sleeping.  Open doors allow fire and smoke to spread more quickly.
