• Current studies have shown smoke/CO alarms may not awaken all sleeping
individuals, and that it is the responsibility of individuals in the household that
are capable of assisting others to provide assistance to those who may not be
awakened by the alarm sound, or to those who may be incapable of safely
evacuating the area unassisted.
• Install and maintain fire extinguishers on every level of the home and in the
kitchen, basement and garage. Know how to use a fire extinguisher prior to
an emergency.
FIRE PREVENTION
Never smoke in bed, or leave cooking food unattended. Teach children never
to play with matches or lighters! Train everyone in the home to recognize the
alarm pattern and to leave the home using their escape plan when it’s heard.
Know how to do “Stop, Drop and Roll” if clothes catch on fire, and how to
crawl low under smoke. Install and maintain fire extinguishers on every level of
the home and in the kitchen, basement and garage.
