Fire Safety Tips

• Make sure all family members know how to dial 911 in case of an emergency.
• Have at least two exits from every room in your home. Invest in fire escape ladders for upstairs bedrooms.
• Go through a practice drill every six months. With the whole family, practice what to do in a fire emergency.
• Assign a tree or other landmark where family members can meet after they escape the burning house.
• Teach children never to go back in the house. Train them not to hide from fire under beds, in closets or other places where rescuers cannot easily find them.
