Fires happen suddenly and destroy rapidly. Just look at what happened to this home during an electrical fire!

Don't Take Chances When It Comes To Fires

You try to prepare for whatever life throws at you. You take precautions. You formulate plans. But when it comes to emergencies, will you know what to do?

With a few simple tips, preparing your family and securing your home for a fire can be the difference between life or death.

 Smoke Detectors

• Install in every room and outside every bedroom
• Interconnect your smoke alarms
• Make sure to test run your smoke alarms once a month
• Make sure your smoke alarms can also detect carbon monoxide
• Replace old smoke alarms if they are over 10 years old
• Is someone in the household deaf or hard of hearing? Install bed shakers or strobe lights

 Tips For Fires

• Leave bedroom doors closed, as they slow the spread of smoke and fire
• 3 out of 5 deaths in a fire occur because there is no smoke detector
