Safety Basics

Smoke alarms save lives. Having a smoke alarm in your home cuts your chance of dying in a fire nearly in half! Install at least one smoke alarm on each level of your home and in or near all sleeping areas. Smoke alarms should be tested once a month and batteries replaced once a year or when the alarm beeps, warning that the battery is low.

Fire can grow and spread very quickly. Everyone should know exactly what to do in a fire so they can escape quickly and safely. Develop and practice a home fire escape plan with your family. For a step-by-step guide to home fire escape planning and practice, visit Escape With the Miller Family.

Keep matches and all lighters up high and out of children's sight and reach, preferably in a locked drawer; keep kids well away from cooking areas, lit candles, and space heaters.

It is important for children to learn and practice fire safety messages. Here are some helpful fire safety rules for children:

	Plan and practice a home fire escape plan.
	Know what to do when the smoke alarm sounds.
	Stop, drop, and roll if clothes catch fire. STOP immediately where you are. DROP to the ground. ROLL over and over, covering your face and mouth with your hands.
	"Cool a burn" any time you burn your skin. If you get burned by touching a hot object or liquid, cool the area with cold water for 10-15 minutes. Tell a grown-up about the burn.
	Matches and lighters are not toys. They are tools for grown-ups only. Tell a grown-up if you find matches or lighters.
