Do you know what to do when catastrophe strikes in the form of a fire in your home?

When a fire starts, you could have less than two minutes to escape.  Early warnings are key to a safe exit, so working smoke alarms and a practiced fire escape plan are important when avoiding disaster.

Top Tips for Fire Safety

1. Install smoke alarms on every level of your home, inside bedrooms and outside sleeping areas.
2. Test smoke alarms every month. If they’re not working, change the batteries.
3. Talk with all family members about a fire escape plan and practice the plan twice a year.
4. If a fire occurs in your home, GET OUT, STAY OUT and CALL FOR HELP. Never go back inside for anything or anyone.
