A Few General Safety Points First

Fire Extinguisher
  • Every family should have an exit plan and practice it at least twice a year.  In each room you visit, plan and review your two ways out of that room. If you plan to use windows as your second way out, be sure they open easily and you have what you need to get to the ground safely.  If you don't have an exit plan, your hunt for home hazards won't be finished until you've made one.
     
  • Your hunt for home hazards will involve checking many pieces of equipment.  Working smoke detectors are some of the best home fire protection sources available. Fire extinguishers are useful for small fires in the home - but only if you know how and when to use them!  Remember, it takes three things to make a fire.

Heat, Oxygen and Fuel.

make up the

Fire Triangle

If you take any one of those three things away
 the fire will go out!

Stop, drop and roll, crawl low under smoke, exit drills and calling 9-1-1
are basic fire safety procedures.

Combine all of these with watching for fire hazards and you can earn the prestigious title of :

Look carefully .... and again,

Good Luck!
