Do you have a plan ready?

Fire Safety Month

During the month of October our attention is focused on National Fire Prevention. Promoting fire safety along with knowing the hazards we face every day. With a few quick safety checklists points you can have an idea of what things to prepare for.

Fire Safety Checklist:

• Avoid using space heaters close to bedding and sheets that will catch fire easily.
• When using lit candles make sure to keep a distance away from other objects and always keep an eye on the candle while it’s burning.
• Electrical objects should be checked for frayed cords to prevent electrical fire from forming.
• Teach others around you what to do when it comes to clothing catching fire. Always remember to Stop! Drop! And Roll!
• Replace batteries in smoke alarms at least once a year and have one located in every room especially in bedrooms.
• Have an escape plan for you and your family and write it out and display it for everyone to see. Always practice and review the plan to make sure everyone knows where to go in case of a fire.
