Install Smoke Alarms: Ensure you have working smoke alarms on every home floor and outside all sleeping areas. Test them monthly and change the batteries at least once a year.
Create a Fire Escape Plan: Make an escape plan with two ways out of every room and practice it with your family twice a year.
Keep Flammable Items Away from Heat Sources: Ensure that anything that can catch fire is kept at least three feet away from heaters, stoves, and fireplaces.
Use Caution with Candles: Never leave a burning candle unattended. Keep candles away from items that can catch fire, and always extinguish them before leaving a room or going to sleep.
