Simple Steps to
Protect Your Home

Fire safety doesn't have to be complicated. These practical tips can make the difference between a close call and a tragedy.

1

Test Your Smoke Alarms Monthly

Replace batteries at least once a year, and replace the entire unit every 10 years. A working alarm gives you critical seconds to evacuate.

2

Create & Practice a Escape Plan

Map two exits from every room. Designate a meeting spot outside. Practice your plan twice a year so everyone — including children — knows what to do.

3

Keep a Fire Extinguisher Ready

Place an ABC-rated extinguisher in your kitchen and garage. Learn the PASS technique: Pull, Aim, Squeeze, Sweep.

4

Never Leave Cooking Unattended

Cooking is the leading cause of home fires. Stay in the kitchen while frying, grilling, or broiling. If you must leave, turn off the stove.

5

Inspect Heating Equipment Annually

Have chimneys and furnaces checked yearly. Keep space heaters at least three feet from anything that burns — curtains, bedding, paper.

6

Know When to Call Us

If you smell smoke, see flames, or hear a smoke alarm going off, get out immediately — then call 911. Never re-enter a burning building.
