FIRE PREVENTION AND ESCAPE
The purpose of an early warning smoke detector is to
detect the presence of fire in its early stages and
sound an alarm giving the occupants time to exit the
premises safely.
Avoid Fire Hazards
No detection device can protect life in all situations.
Therefore, safeguards should be taken to avoid
potentially dangerous situations as follows:
• Do not smoke in bed
• Do not leave children home alone
• Never clean with flammable liquids such as gaso-
line.
• Properly store materials. Use general good house-
keeping techniques to keep your home neat and
tidy. A cluttered basement, attic, or other storage
area is an open invitation to fire.
• Use combustible materials and electrical appliances
carefully and only for their intended uses. Do not
overload electrical outlets
• Do not store explosive and/or fast burning materials
in your home.
• Even after proper precautions have been taken, fires
can start. Be prepared.
In Case of Fire
In the event of a fire, you should do the following:
• Leave immediately. Don’t stop to pack or search for
valuables.
• In heavy smoke, hold your breath and stay low,
crawl if necessary. The clearest air is usually at the
floor.
• If you have to go through a closed door, carefully
feel the door and door knob to see if undue heat is
present. If they seem cool, brace your foot against
the bottom of the door with your hip against the door
and one hand against the top edge. Open it slightly.
If a rush of hot air is felt, slam the door quickly and
latch it. Unvented fire tends to build up considerable
pressure. Be sure all members of the household
realizes and understands this danger.
• Use your neighbor’s phone or a street fire alarm box
to call the fire department. The job of extinguishing
the fire should be left to the professionals.
Be Prepared
Practice the following steps to prepare you and your
family in the event of a fire:
• Perform fire drills regularly. Use them to assure
recognition of an alarm signal.
• Draw a floor plan and show two exits from each
room. It is important that children be instructed
carefully, because they tend to hide in times of
crisis.
• Establish one meeting place outside the home.
Insist that everyone meet there during an alarm.
This will eliminate the tragedy of someone reenter-
ing the house for a missing member who is actually
safe.
• If you have children and/or physically challenged
people residing in your household, use window
decals to help emergency personnel identify the
sleeping quarters of these individuals.
