Owner's Instructions
Fire Safety In The Home
Most fires occur in the home, and to minimize this danger, it is recommended that a household
fire safety audit be conducted and a family escape plan be developed.
Household Fire Safety Audit
1. Are all electrical appliances and outlets in safe condition? Check for frayed cords, over-
loaded lighting circuits, etc. If you are uncertain about the condition of your electrical appli-
ances or household service, have a professional evaluation.
2. Are all flammable liquids safely stored in closed containers, and in a cool and well vent-
ilated area? Cleaning the unit with flammable liquids should be avoided.
3. Are hazardous materials for example, matches out of the reach of children?
4. Are furnaces and wood burning appliances properly installed, clean, and in good working
order? If in doubt, have a professional evaluation.
Family Escape Planning
There is often very little time between the detection of a fire and the time it becomes deadly.
Because of this, it is very important that a family escape plan be developed and rehearsed.
l
Every family member should participate in the escape plan.
l
Study the possible escape routes from each location within the house. Since many fires
occur at night, special attention should be given to the escape routes from sleeping quar-
ters.
l
It is essential that escape from a bedroom be possible without opening the interior door.
Consider the following when making your escape plans:
l
Ensure that doors and windows that open to the outside are easily opened. Ensure that
they are not painted shut and that the locking mechanisms operate smoothly.
l
If opening or using the exit is too difficult for children, the elderly or handicapped, plans for
their rescue should be developed. This plan includes making sure that those who are to per-
form the rescue can promptly hear the fire warning signal.
l
If the exit is above the ground level, an approved fire ladder or rope should be provided, as
well as training in its use.
l
Exits on the ground level should be kept clear. Be sure to remove snow from exterior patio
doors in the winter and that outdoor furniture or equipment does not block exits.
l
The family should have a predetermined assembly point where everyone can be accounted
for; for example, across the street or at a neighbor’s house.
l
Once everyone is out of the house, call the Fire Department.
