Everyone has the responsibility to keep their families and homes safe from fire.
The best ways to do this are to:

• Prevent fires from starting
• Maintain working carbon monoxide and smoke alarms on every story of your home and outside all sleeping areas to have as much time to safely escape as possible. Not only do smoke alarms save lives, they are required by law
• Plan and practice a home fire escape plan so everyone in the home knows exactly what to do should the smoke alarms sound in an emergency

When a fire occurs, there is no time to waste. That is why it is so important to sit down with your family today and make a step-by-step plan for escaping from a fire.
