Fire Safety

Know the Rules

Remember these important fire safety rules:

  • Kids, tell an adult if you find matches or lighters.

  • Matches and lighters should be stored out of reach of children, in a locked cabinet.

  • Don't play with matches and lighters.

  • Have smoke alarms in or near all bedrooms.

  • Test your smoke alarms every month.

  • Change your smoke alarms' batteries once a year.

  • Have an escape plan and practice, practice, practice.

  • If you must escape through smoke, crawl low under the smoke to your exit.

  • Know your local emergency numbers, and be prepared to dial 911 when necessary.
